Thanks for the link – a good post. Though I didn't find anything there that suggested that bitcoin is corruptible as it currently stands. We have a leadership problem that could be potentially exploited, and it is good that we are discussing these things now. As for me, I vote with my node and hash power. What I dislike is when folks downplay Bitcoin and cheer for monero; these are two different beasts with different directions and tradeoffs. I own both and appreciate both.
the point is that you dont have to compromise the network. Bitcoin will not scale and custodians will be necessary (obv they're already here). All that has to be done is control the custodians. Regulatory capture is a real thing. Monero is still a small faster moving project and has different problems lol nice to meet you.
