Where to build our Citadel?
Hm. What's your criteria, rule the locals with an iron fist? Be adored and loved as a living God? If so you don't want a place where people are happy. You want a place where they will line up to sacrifice themselves at your temple of Doom... Have I got a place for you.....

Sideways movement / low volatility for months now - yeah, it's a snooze-fest, but nothing's going to persuade hardcore hodlers to sell. So, in the words of Yazz, the only way is up. And in the words of the Stones, time is on my [our] side. And in the words of the WO, CCMF.

Your turn. What is the definition of decentralization to which you adhere, DaRude? Hmmm?
Riiiight, that's just you bitching about nodes, still not seeing you defining decentralization, and criteria that you used to come to conclusion that BTC and BSv are as decentralized? Surely you're not just putting out claims without backing them up ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Still dodging, eh? Nothing to offer?

FWIW, what I think jbreher is saying, is that BTC and BSV can both potentially be equally decentralized. In other words, the algorithms themselves allow for the same amount of decentralization.
Bingo. From a technical perspective, they are equally decentralized. The only difference in decentralization between the two is the current popularity of each. If those are the vapors upon which you wish to hoist your flag, so be it. Of course, the next layer of the discussion is 'how much decentralization is meaningful'? Then 'what aspects are important to be decentralized'? Followed by 'what concrete goals do the intermediate objective of decentralization serve'? But shieeeeit - we can't even agree on what decentralization even means, because those who scream it loudest refuse to admit they don't have a concrete definition thereof.

And friggin Nasdaq scores one ATH after the other.

So, on the topic of exchanges, you are trying to suggest all exchanges are equally fucked up,
Well, no. Nice moving of the goal posts, tho. I am suggesting pointing out the fact that all exchanges are centralized, and that all exchanges are trusted third parties. Which are the characteristics that were somehow ascribed to Coinbase alone, in order to drag my name through the mud. Well, with the exception of 'the dexes', which are utterly useless. when that is not true. Kraken ...
This just in: Kraken blacklists Bitcoin addresses. That is all.

The changes BSV makes to the protocol will inevitably centralize the protocol,
You'll need to be more specific. Which changes exactly are you speaking of?

Just remember that as things get harder for people they will tend toward seeking support from their "group" or collective. Whatever that may be, it is easy to stand strong as an individual when things are going well but when times are tough you need to feel like there are others out there providing whatever you feel you are missing.
In the US this appears to be falling into the categories of race as the groups people are choosing. Nationalism tends to be a very significant group that people will fall back on. Or people will trend toward their socioeconomic class if there is some sort of movement or prevalence of it.
Their enemies will be anyone outside of their group. The best way to solidify yourself within that group is to attack someone outside of that group, the more publicly the better, the more unlike your group the better.
It is a symptom, not a cause. It will become worse. Lines will be drawn. Groups defined more solidly. I've even noticed this with libertarian folks online that are supposed to be individualists, falling into the comfort of attacking "statists" among their libertarian peers.
Hmm. Rather insightful beyond your years.

Having a 2 gigameg block size cap is fundamentally centralizing. Bitcoin is still here , cause it s profitable (for those who run = mine it) Anything that is profitable is centralizing Only full openess and competition in MANY different disciplines (software / hardware / business ...) breaks that up such that there will be no monopoly for long terms Monopols are there, cause they can change the rules to fit THEIR games, so changing rules / protocol must never occure
