“Question is whether the use cases justify the risk, and also the risk of a contentious chain split.”

No, that is not the question.

These clowns don’t even know who they’re supposed to be persuading.

They don’t know what these people would gain from their proposed changes.

They don’t know what those people might risk (ie SoV as you identified).

They in fact don’t know shit about fuck. They whinge like children about nice-to-haves whilst not being able to sell their way out of a wet paper bag.

The question actually is “what do the people making this decision stand to gain from adopting this fork, and at what risk?”

They’ve not articulated either the benefits to the decision makers, nor the possible downsides.

That’s why they’re going nowhere, fast.

It’s not 2013 where you’re selling your ideas to the whole network who run nodes and decide the rules. It’s 2024 where retirements and multibillion dollar businesses who use third party custody are on the line, not to mention the massive value the noderunners have in BTC.

You can’t sell to an undefined customer and these Devs have no idea who the customer is for their nonsense. They are creating products for themselves that no-one else will want. 

 This is exactly what the drivechainers did.  But they only had 2 million in funding.  I think OP_C*T is more like 10 million in funding.  They will use any psy-op in the book.  Dangerous people. 

 Then they are funded with 0.007% of the network - that’s nothing. 

Let them use every psyop in the book, these 🤡s are going nowhere.

You don’t move consensus at $1.4 Trillion without a proper, planned, well executed sales & marketing strategy.

There is no sales & marketing strategy behind these idiots; as I said, they don’t even know who they’re selling to. You can’t execute sales & marketing without defining your target audience and I bet you anything if you sat with one of these devs and asked who they want to communicate with they couldn’t articulate it.

If the clowns start bringing in people who understand sales, marketing, PR, campaigning, data analysis, propaganda etc - then I might start worrying.

As it is, they’re generals fighting the last war.

I’m not going to interrupt my enemies making that mistake. 

 Well done.  Only with people like you, that are prepared to speak up, do we have a chance of making it.  Thank you for defending bitcoin!
