or they are talking a bunch of gibble-dee-gook nonsense.
Seriously, how can you discern what is “gibble-dee-gook nonsense” when you don’t understand technological discussions because you’re not a domain expert in that field?
Exhibit A.. Your posts (or the posts of your butt buddy) tend to be gibble-dee-gook nonsense, except perhaps a few attempts to provide substance, here and there.
Regarding your so much technical expertise, get the fuck out of here and go to a technical thread. If you (or your butt buddy) cannot frame your arguments and facts in terms of the substance of the thread (and likely in a less technical way), then you should probably be presenting links to your technical posts here, rather than getting into the weeds of such technicalities.
Do you seriously expect that a domain expert can explain to a 5 year old the intricacies of Bitcoin’s Nash equilibrium and Schelling points along with the technological nuances intertwined therein.
Hopefully you will be able to figure out your audience and attempt to tailor your presentation to such audience rather than beating up on your audience? Good luck.
Ostensibly you just believe everything Core tells you as gospel.
I've been in this space for nearly 5 years, but I have been on this planet quite a bit longer than that. I have developed pretty decent critical thinking skills, but sure, of course sometimes, I make leaps of faith and sometimes I take the words of others who are otherwise making sense to my level of knowledge. Sometimes, through the presentation of an argument it becomes obvious that a snow job is being made, even if the technicals are not understood. More technical arguments should be presented to more technical peeps, and less technical arguments can still involve reliance on technicals but have less technical presentation(s). I take everything with a grain of salt, so don't go making up shit and trying to assert that I am unwilling or unable to be critical of core. And, in the end, who gives a shit what I think? I am not trying to convince anyone of anything when it comes to some of the segwit is garbage nonsense that you and your butt buddy have been presenting... in those cases, you and your butt buddy have the burden to provide your evidence and/or arguments to make your points clear and/or convincing. Good luck.
Do you also believe everything every expert tells you?
Already answered this, and in essence, the answer is no.
Did you believe the lie of the climate scientists when they said that man caused global warming.
Whether I believe or not in this off-topic assertion, I can see that the way you present the question assumes the supposedly correct answer, no?
Did you believe NIST when they said that WTC7 collapsed due to a model which has been hence proven to be implausible?
Again, we are deviating off topic, and this is an example in which there is evidence both ways... and we need not get into details of off-topicness in order to prove the extent to which we may or may not have developed sufficient critical thinking skills, right?
What if you’re wrong and everybody who followed your advice to ignore Shelby loses all their real Bitcoins?
Here you go.. mischaracterizing my assertion as giving advice to "ignore Shelby"... People can do whatever the fuck they want. Whatever, my comments were to Shelby or to you stand on their own.
Are you going to apologize?
For what? You fucking goof ball trolls get so caught up into personal attacks that you lose sight of your own failing and refusing to back up your own presentations. Go on present something worth reading, beyond a personal attack or an assertion to status.
Or run away forsaking your anonymous online identity? Shelby is not anonymous. You are.
I already addressed this stupid-ass anonymous issue in a previous post to your butt buddy, and in essence, his supposed lack of anonymity does not bring him further credibility if he is lacking in substance and/or foundation. Do you recall our stupid ass previous troll, Stolfi, who presented himself and his arguments in this thread for a few years, and he was proclaiming to be a neutral professor.. and who gives a ratt's ass if he really was a professor, because his ideas were wrong, trollish and misleading. The same is likely true for both you and your butt buddy because you spend so much time attempting to present and assert status, rather than providing actual substance (facts and/or logic).
