Bitcoin is designed to disappoint the greatest number the most -- a job it does with mathematical precision and cybernetical diligence.
Tears and snot for the many algorithmically assured.

But it was so vague. If i remember right, core promised to work on stuff, and miners promised to stick to core if core did what it promised. No way for either side to cry foul when the other backs out, due to (intentionally?) loose wording.
Got a link to that pdf?

vague?

segwit asap ( probably may ) and 2MB HF about 1 year later.

How soon is asap?
When is In Two Weeks "about a year later"?

If you tell me that you'll start working on my house, and I promise to work on getting you your money, do you see how neither one of us has actually promised anything? You can always say "I'm working on it, not as easy as you think. Where's my money?" To which I can always reply "I'm working on getting you your money, it just ain't that easy."
See how the wording matters?

>Regarding polls, surely they can reflect various kinds of public sentiment.
Why don't you click your mouse on the pictures and find out for yourself? Yes, they're links to Coindesk polls.
And sure, Bitcoin enthusiasts are a little overexuberant when it comes to their coin of choice, and a little feeble when it comes to maths. hence the poll results.

I'm not asking you to explain the methodology of the poll or to explain them in any more meaningful way (though you are certainly free to do so, if you believe that the polls reflect some kind of meaning regarding bitcoins short or long term price direction). 

I think that I sufficiently made my point responding to all your points, and my main point that you seem to be giving too much weight to the various polls, if in part Bitcoin's price direction was intended to be part of what you wanted to assert.

In other words, we can take all polls with a bit of a grain of salt, and in part it depends upon what point you are attempting to make with them.

My initial point was merely to suggest that at this point in time, bitcoin's upside potential seems to me to be much greater than ethereum's upside potential. Implied with that point was also that my point of view was that ethereum's downside potential (at this time) seems much greater than bitcoin's downside potential.  That is merely my opinion based on what i see, and I don't need a poll to verify whether people generally agree with me or not.

One of the two devs at the wheel of this shitshow has renounced science!

I'm not surprised to hear Gavin still believes in ManBearPig, despite all empirical and theoretical evidence to the contrary.

He certainly is a big fan of manufactured "Astroturf" consensus and using artificially induced panic reactions to FUD in order to support his policy agenda.

Adam,

Do you think maybe a new wall observer poll could be in order?  Maybe regarding BTC's price, rather than talking about this blocksize limit bullshit (even though blocksize limit is arguably related to price)?


Surely you could phrase the poll anyhow you want and with whatever time frame work that you like.   Do we know about a date of an event within the next couple of weeks that could be important to bitcoin's price?),   I'm thinking a week or two down the road or maybe something like this could be decent to poll folks to get a sense regarding whether wall observer participants are generally bearish or bullish in the short term:


>>>>>>>Mark your closest prediction.  By 5pm Eastern standard time on Wednesday, March 16, bitcoin's price will be?


above $467

above $432

above $415

above $400

below $400

below $380

below $360

below $340<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Armstrong speaks --> price retreats

Amstrong's blog is from yesterday. Price started retreating three days ago. Perhaps the correct causality is

price retreats --> Armstrong speaks

Armstrong went full Buttcoin weeks ago.

Armstrong running the biggest fiat exchange is like putting Stolfi in charge of Blockstream.  The only question is "malice or incompetence?"
