Yes I'm being smug and condescending because that is the environment you set. You set the tone with your original question.

If you prefer a different environment then go ahead and change your tone and I'll change also.

I'm also being smug and condescending for all the responses you give like "handwaving".

I'm following your lead.

Also, my answers are correct whether you like them or not and your experience of running a node is extremely limited and you have built an entirely false narrative based on your very limited experience.

If you are unfamiliar with my normal style, perhaps this response to a different thread will help. Here is me flipping from being smug and condescending to helpful and very cooperative when prompted.

You have not answered my question though. Because you can’t. You make prognostications of future technological progress that may or may not come to fruition.

My prognosis is the following: Bitcoin as a MoE will be solved on layers above but mainly through TTPs. A minority of transactions will happen in a non custodial way. Thank you for the attention to this matter.

You are definitely trolling now.

I have given you a full complete answers to every question you asked me and several others who have commented to you also.

You dismiss them with "hand wave" comments or, if you don't like the answers, you pretend that I'm not answering them.

You then repeat the same question telling me I haven't answered you.

You then tell me I'm smug and condescending in a smug and condescending manner.

You then repeat a question without acknowledging anything I've said. You're not even prepared to argue or tell me I'm wrong, you simply pretend like I haven't answered it.

That's fine, but I'm calling you out. Tell me what I've got wrong about RTGS and the IBM 3/60 scenario and Cashu and Mints and exchanges and banks.

You have to address each and every one, fully with complete acknowledgement and understanding and explain why it doesn't answer any of your questions.

Tell me why I'm wrong or accept I'm right, but don't tell me the answers I've given you don't exist.

If you are unable to complete this fully, then you're gaslighting.
