Will I stay or Will I leave - Poll

[Carlton Banks]

i have heard it said that lots of different competing node types would be healthy for bitcoin.

Whoever said that is a moron, it's the opposite of the truth.

If the object of the game is to agree on which transactions/blocks are valid, then why would you introduce a competition? Competition and agreement are opposing concepts; it's not possible to agree with a proposition whilst also simultaneously contesting it. Bitcoin runs on consensus, and competing nodes is anti-consensus, by definition.

I guess I'm from the old school. The idealists that want bitcoin to be an incorruptible money.

If the shrill voices, panic merchants, politicking and disingenuity we've seen recently from (mainly) classic supporters is able to change the way bitcoin is headed, against the advice of the (active) developers who actually know what's going on, then my faith in the that type of future for bitcoin is destroyed. I might still use it, but as a (probably inefficient) paypal, since i'm invested in it.

I will stay and I really do not think it matters which side wins.  This will work itself out organically as it is a great design and well thought out.  The devs will reach agreements that work for everyone.

Satoshi chose to hand the reins to Gregory Maxwell for a reason... he understood the idea and believed in its Core principles better/more than anyone.

If there comes a day where His emails don't become the future roadmap for Bitcoin... decentralization will have been lost... and Bitcoin will have died.

We cannot let that happen.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I don't care either way very strongly, so I'm kinda an interested but not extremely invested observer.  I would just as soon use an altcoin like dash to do business with.

I will stay as there is and will always be a lot profit to be made with Bitcoin. But I am not quite sure if I will continue to support Bitcoin as I am doing right now if an alternative takes over. It means that literally anything can happen with Bitcoin and that the freedom/decentral aspect that we value so much, is worth next to nothing as certain entities can force us to do anything they wish.

Amen, brother.

I've decided to go along with whatever Randyfolds, Kluge, dree12 and LoupGaroux agree is right. But they all need to respond in this thread.

[Elyes Zebda]

I agree. Try to learn to love the ride.

I concur. Even though there are times that a "challenge" to the existing team might be necessary, wanting to introduce competition as a 'standard' is foolish.

Why those individuals?

And everyone will live happily ever after?

I will stay as there is and will always be a lot profit to be made with Bitcoin.

So you're only here because of profit? How lovely.

[SquallLeonhart]

I will stay at a moment at least till the halving, and if the price continue to rise after halving I will stay or else leave bitcoin and invest somewhere else.

You should have faith in bitcoin mate, even if price falls after halving it will rise again in future so we should always stay as bitcoin is here to survive for long run.

yes bitcoin will be strong currency in future, and it is expected that price will rise in future, so we should have patience and keep on believing in bitcoin.

Because they're people that I used to talk to long ago. They were rational, intelligent, were not mindless drones following the herd and I greatly respected their opinion. None of them have been here for more than a year. LoupGaroux hasn't been here for almost three years.

[Kprawn]

Sockpuppets aside.... It still looks like many people are still willing to hang in there for some of their own reason.. {profit / believe that it might get better / loyalty to the

cause.} I am also very outspoken about this whole Classic vs Core thing, but I still believe in the ultimate positive outcome of this experiment. Abandoning Bitcoin, because

some developers want to ruin it for everyone, is not an option... We will stuck in there and ride this to the end.

... Abandoning Bitcoin, because

It's not about "some developers want[ing] to ruin it for everyone," but the fact that it's possible for a handful of developers to ruin it for everyone.
Turns out Bitcoin ain't the "mathematically-secured, trustless currency, not a plaything of corruptible h00mans & their frailties, like that filthy fiat toilet paper."

I see. Out of those 4 I only remembered Kluge (didn't notice the other ones).

I will leave if blockstream or something similar become successful, they can use their technology on centralized currency.

That makes no sense. The only reason for which this could come to someones mind is due to reading the propaganda by the 'forkers' or shills. As an example, they tend to say that the Lightning Network is Blockstream's product and is centralized (obviously both are false).

'The only thing' that could destroy it is human stupidity (as with everything).

[Zeke2345]

To be honest there was so much fud on the issue when the forum was blowing up I decided to step back and wait for clearer links to the issue from level heads. Believe this thread will end up the same way as people try to beat the other opinion to death and vice versa.
Its to bad that we can not sit down and figure this issue out.

[Goms]

For me I do not think it matters which side wins as long as bitcoins live on.

[Pk880058]

If the thread is about user will be on this forum or not, Than the reply from me is i will stay here in forum very long , because i am earning from this site, their are so many userfull information i use to get daily, like, sports betting i get lost of information about matches, Alt coins mostly all alt coins thread and information are their on this forum, and the most details and development of bitcoin technology information is also their on this site with updated till now.
