Both sides are ridiculous. Roger Ver (Bitcoin.com) uses his website to push his ridiculous big block / / BUcoin agenda, and uses his army of bots to downvote anything that challenges the /r/btc narrative.

Who cares about reddit anyway? just read the information you need and evaluate it yourself to know if it's bullshit or not.

I think you should rephrase that question to:

"Do the moderators of a subreddit on one side of a debate try to pressure readers into supporting their point of view?"

The answer is, you guessed it, yes.  Then you just have to ask:

"Do the moderators of a subreddit on one side of a debate represent the entire 'side'?"

The answer is, you guessed it, no.

Who even uses reddit anymore? It's a cesspool of bots and bullshit and it is probably one of the worst platforms for any sort of "discussion" you can use. Both sides have taken an extreme approach to their own views, and now we have a very polarized community which will get nothing done because of it.
Use plebbit for memes and nothing else. It has zero value if you aren't part of the echo chamber.

don't you know that Ver uses r/btc to fool green inexperienced people in crypto. All of its participants are a bunch of Ver's puppets yapping on core and veracious Bitcoin resource r/bitcoin. 

 

if someone wants to rewrite the bitcoin paper to 'update' it.. then dont call it the bitcoin paper.. call it the segwit whitepaper that way it doesnt confuse people from the differences of what bitcoin WAS and where the ethos and purpose has changed, because people can then compare them both. rather than thinking the updated version is the only true version

so by the time they update it.. it will be out of date.... might be worth you thinking about that

"they"... well cobra for one, obviously has been the big mouthpiece that wants to update it.. so they = atleast cobra.... dont be ignorant, you know who 'they' are. even you seem to want to be ok with a re-write happening. so YOU and your desire to get YOUR named tagged for spell checking things in github have more chance of being part of "they"
... i dont want it changed. so i wont be part of "they".

but if "they" want to write something. atleast dont try suggesting that it is the bitcoin whitepaper, but instead making it obvious that its different to the real bitcoin white paper by calling it something new... EG if the update is only upto corev0.12.. then call it corev12.. not "the bitcoin whitepaper"
then in a few months time, if core gets segwit activated..  then... (those that love rewrites) can make another whitepaper and call it segwit

because its not /r/bitcoin... its /r/core-perate coin. managed by the BS cartel (BlockStream/Barry Silbert)

the github repo they love and idolise over does not even originate from a github repo satoshi ever used. the origins before the rebrand to core in 2013 was originally from a fork Gavin started in summer 2010.

satoshi's version was still only being sourced from sourceforge right up until and after winter 2010

You were downvoted not because you quoted Satoshi but because you're BTU shill. though I doubt that was the case, provide a link when you post your nonsence. Never trust a word from Ver's puppet

Wait...that doesn't make any sense.  

You're saying linking to a site that has no plans to change the paper is WORSE than linking to a site with people who said they want to change it (but haven't yet).

Like you said, its the same paper.

You can't say bitcoin.org is authoritative by virtue of origin when its trying to change the paper.  That's a self defeating argument.
