 You didn’t address any of my points. I have no issue with what Rusty did think about. My issue is with what he didn’t think about. 

You seem to believe that Rusty is a smart guy who works hard and makes good presentations. No debate there. I just say he thinks of bitcoin like an open source project and doesn’t recognize the importance of it. He has a myopic view, lacks wisdom and is therefore dangerous.

 You don’t make points, you make unsupported assertions about what Rusty is thinking or not, that’s just you pondering shit.

 No, actually…

I point out that he has a myopic view by only considering the impact on CPU cycles and memory usage when the risks are far broader. 

I point out that he says he doesn’t care because there are already things bad people can do so he doesn’t worry about adding more. 

I point out his dangerous design philosophy is suitable for a low risk startup and not for the system that manages the world’s money and our hope for the future. 

Didn’t get those points? Maybe I used too many big words. Next time I’ll consider doing a comic strip or meme series.
