OK we all agree :)
Perhaps more interesting is that I don't agree with Jonas or Bryan's responses, both long time contributos that I have a lot of respect for.
'Authority' has spread out too much, and the 'weight' of the system has got too large, for big changes to happen now, probably.
i have faith that the right thing will get consensus, but the right thing has not emerged yet
i am a believer in the legend of king arthur (pulling the sword from the stone)
Note that the myth that resonates with you here, involves taking something out - not putting something in.
i dunno, seems pretty consistent with the essence of a soft fork 🤔
We will get consensus when the idiot devs engage Sales/Marketing/PR to sell it for them.
They’re still treating Bitcoin like it’s a bunch of anarchists in 2012 who can be scared/influenced into anything the Devs want.
The current crop don’t even know who they’re selling to. There’s $1.7 Trillion on the line today and these clowns don’t even know who their customer is.
Enjoy it whilst it lasts because it won’t.
They will engage Pros and work through this sooner or later.
Good luck stopping them then…
I’ll help anyone who wants to support Bitcoin achieve what it should.
The social layer is about to become 100X more important than the technical and no-one is ready for this.
No.
Bitcoin's success is a direct consequence of the fact that what you're suggesting can't happen.
Keep sucking on that hopium bro. You’re gonna need it!
If you think moneyed interests won’t work out how to sell changes to Bitcoin then you are only deluding yourself, no-one else.
There’s an entire industry dedicated to working out how to sell shit. They generally succeed within the bounds of the product.
Just because this hasn’t happened on Bitcoin doesn’t mean it won’t.
In fact, it’s more likely with what’s at stake.
Invest $10M and shift $2T of capital how you want - yeah those efforts are coming thick and fast and you’d better prepare your arse.
