Don't you find it just a little odd that as the Bitcoin Foundation is being reamed into oblivion, some floozy comes up with a repackaging of Gavin's self-aggrandizing nonsense? (Really, you nearly broke it, fuckwit? Aren't you a Super Power-Ranger of Cool.)

I get it, a certain group of not particularly smart but definitely dedicated twerps would very much like to hold on to their always overstated and currently fading relevancy in this space. Gavin happens to work for them (tho' according to him, he could afford to retire, so he doesn't really need to be paid, which conveniently explains why the Scam Foundation isn't going to be paying him anymore. Well done). The why is quite clear.

The how is quite problematic, however. This fiat-style attack on Bitcoin is poorly thought out and ultimately fails to deliver. For one thing, the identity of Satoshi isn't going to be established by random twerps opining and being interviewed on the topic of "what they think". That's not how Bitcoin works, we have signatures for a reason, there's this entire structure built exactly so as to avoid the sort of inept, blathering nonsense Gavin's girlfriend bathes in. You don't need to "ask people" what "they think" about any incoming transaction, you just look for the signature. That's all there is, and that's all there is for good reason.

And since we're on the topic of fiat attacks upon Bitcoin: Hey Gavin? Leadership is not "having to make appearances and presentations and comments to the press". That's PR. And leadership sure-as-fuck-on-wheels isn't going over to the CIA to reassure them about how your life goals are to continue sucking government cock. That's being a fifth column, not being a leader.

You are becoming more and more of an embarrassment, both for this project and for your own family. How about that retirement? They say the wiser men quit before becoming Taaki.

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

Or what you understand of it, at any rate.
