I knew I was sticking my neck out with CYPHERPUNK 2027 That's what cypherpunk revolutionaries do. And that's the stark contrast between me and preening, posing, posturing pretenders. ( Like Mange, Semich, Gramps, etc - you know the infamous and unholy larger CIRCLE of EUNUCHS ) " When cypherpunks are called terrorists we will be doing our job " Old cryptoanarchist proverb

Everyone knows that Bitcoin Scaling and Privacy was killed. But few these days know by who. And Saylor is head in sand. And nobody has started a nextgen no-features p2p private hi-txrate pure cash, they're all still trying to startup every feature for everyone, that won't win. And yet another fork of Bitcoin-BTC is coming, which is unlikely to become a minimalistic winner as such.
