Oddbean new post about login | logout 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.
