Bet we could swap that pie chart right around if BitcoinUnlimited was the only option available for download on:
bitcoin.org
r/bitcoin
bitcointalk.org
And core was available on bitcoincore.org
Just goes to show how Bitcoin is already centrally controlled. Domain names mean more than hashrate...
JJG and his ilk blindly cheer while their more cunning cousins place native BTC in a chokehold in order to drive transactions off-chain and make Blockstream shareholders rich.
Guess we'll see what happens, cowardly chinese miners won't be doing squat until the price takes a swan dive.
Yeah, right... "JJG and his ilk."
I am not part of any group-think, except to the extent to which I post in response to a lot of troll/shill misinformation that frequently attempts to mislead and spread FUD about the supposed broken status of BTC.
So, yeah, therefore, I seem to be posting a lot on a particular theme.
Last fall, I did not really have any kind of clue regarding there being any kind of "scaling issue," but then starting around the time of XT and soon thereafter with considerable extent of FUCD spreading about XT and then Classic etc, there seem to be a lot of misinformation circulating in these various bitcoin spaces.
After a while, I took a position because I saw the extent of the ongoing nonsensical making up of issues in order to attempt to describe bitcoin as broken. Some of this whole dynamic is strange because the FUCD doom and gloom spreading seemed to intensify in late 2015 while BTC prices were in the $200s... and in spite of ongoing propaganda about bitcoin being broken, BTC prices shot up to $500, and then came back down for a while (and then continued bullshit propaganda spreading while we floated between largely $360 and $460), and then another shoot up to nearly $800... while outcry continues about bitcoin being broken.
Seems that bitcoin may be gearing up for another upwards price movement, in spite of a fairly small segment of "bitcoin's community" continuing to vociferously spread misinformation about bitcoin being broken and some supposed problems that need "hardfork" solutions that would supposedly "fix" the problems. In fact, many folks realize that hardforking is not such a great idea, and likely puts bitcoin in a much more precarious position (which would be great for traditional banking institutions and governments).
So, what I am saying is not some kind of core propaganda bullshit, but it remains logically a variety of thoughtful responses to the frequent nonsensical postings that we see regarding supposed needs for hardforking and needs for a blocksize increase and needs to fix supposed non-existing bitcoin "problems."
So, yeah Lambie, and your various socks, I am responding to your various nonsense, even though it is possible that no response is necessary and a large number of folks already see the facts and see through your baloney and misinformation.
