[2016-02-24] Bitcoin Community On Brink Of Insanity

[CrimBit]

Let’s say that you’re running a company and want to create some internal competition between teams to see which ones can perform better. You can do this with R&D, and sales, but I would humbly suggest that you don’t do it with receivables. Sending out duplicate invoices to customers is generally referred to as ‘criminal behavior’.

But the CEO of Coinbase is seriously claiming, with no hint of sarcasm, that this is exactly what Bitcoin should do. Rather than claiming that a hard fork could be done cleanly and without a split, he’s instead doubling down and saying that the chaos and thievery which would come with two active competing forks would be ‘healthy competition’.

Their can be only one Bitcoin, if we had a contentious hard fork and both chains are viable the original version is Bitcoin the other is just an alt coin.

It's not that bad. I think people just need to relax and focus on what's really important. Everything will be just fine. All this panic that has been created only benefits whales and other large traders as people panic sell because they don't know what's happening. Everything other than Bitcoin Core is just an altcoin. It's very simple.

This is the same asshole who is patenting things based on Bitcoin technology, with a "hey, don't worry we'll be good - honest!" as a policy.

I didn't like this guy before, and I sure don't like him now. "Competing Forks" is not a natural state for the tech, it either results in one branch being mined or not - this isn't opening a corner store and cutting prices for satoshi's sake.

Where do they get these MBA's that think they can just lord over an open source project. I'd really love to know.

Just like so many others, Brian Armstrong needs to comes to terms with reality: what he thinks means nothing. Unless he's got some good code to contribute, he's got nothing to say.

Brian Armstrong: coding talks, bullshit walks.
