Bitcoin Battle Over Fees and Scaling, Cryptocurrencies Become Politically Bulletproof?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin+btc/ Keeps going on and on and on, consuming much in fire over two years. Meanwhile seems they forgot about onboarding retail commerce and p2p as one of a number of important and necessary fundamental underpinnings. And cryptocurrencies haven't even begun to do real battle with govt's yet. Except for the ETF getting shot down by SEC over surveillance, and the DAO being looked at sideways by legal pundits, and banks randomly closing accounts, and the IRS compelling exchange records. With all the self inflicted wounding and etc, the current $1000/BTC, or that of any potential leading crypto, is easily 10x too low, so long as battles subside, tech scale and adoption improves, and govt's remain hands off (no active anti legislation). As they now uses Signal Crypto App once someone showed them "benefits"... Will govt's ever move to kill / revert cryptocurrencies once it dawns on all their members they can hide all their corruption money in it too? And also make mad money by signaling a strong "yes" after they simply personal buy in early? To the early cpunk adopters the spoils of the subsequent influx (be it from any the above takeups - buy in, corrupt, mass "yes")? Any sense of preliminary to "yes" buy-ins or corrupt taking place to date? How much is just one piece of pepperoni on that 10000 btc pizza going for these days? Time to by some pepperoni fragments perhaps?
Undoubtedly wounded by Cryptome's forum spooks too... " https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/60bwge/gregory_maxwell_in_2011_the_pur... I conclude that the goal of the censorship is not to promote Core's roadmap, per se, but rather to continue to grow the divide in the bitcoin community and foster discontent. Yet another tactic of the disruptor is to label your opposition as "conspiracy theorists" for daring to entertain possibilities like the one you just outlined. Everyone should read this: https://cryptome.org/2012/07/gent-forum-spies.htm Literally every single one of these tactics is at play here. Note that I'm not making the logical leap and concluding that this whole charade is a top-down effort to subvert Bitcoin, but we should be able to discuss the possibility (precisely because it is a possibility) without being labeled tinfoil nutjobs for doing so. If there was an attack on bitcoin, what would it look like? "
