Thought the opposite tbh. nostr:nprofile1qqsvak4cr0jzaarahhn98a9602e94sa2xt8u9dnjac8cns86lzp0z0spzamhxue69uhkummnw3ezuendwsh8w6t69e3xj7sprfmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujummjv9hxwetsd9kxctnyv4mqhehqxh seemed influenced by own incentives, stuck in technical mindset, offered no opinion on Bitcoin as money and how to protect that.
Sounded like he cared sweet fuk all about the little guy who wants to run a node and contribute to the network, or doesnāt have enough Bitcoin to play futures bets with him. And nostr:nprofile1qqsd0uazmzmhwseeym3rjhf3txyjapreapc6sq8yq8cy07cg45tlx2cpp4mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7tcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhst99y68 soft-cocked his way around opportunities to challenge or focus on the real issue at hand: Bitcoin as money.
Let me know I point I made that was in conflict with bitcoin being money - let alone how my incentives arenāt aligned with that
As the CEO of a Bitcoin insurance company, isnāt it in your customersās and underwriterās interests to challenge something that may lead to conflict or disruption to the network? Would BIP444 impact your operations / security model?
Our policy doesnāt cover both coins in a fork, nor does it cover disruption because blocks or slow, so no real problem.
Havenāt been presented with anything that hurts the core business
Idk. I felt like he tried to steel man the alternative view. In general he also seemed to try and give the other side the benefit of the doubt. Iāve listened to A LOT of these conversations and this is the only one where I felt like one side wasnāt just calling the other side retards or simply setting up straw men to knock down
His culture war take was a bit of a joke.. School-of-post-17 wanting to argue out of boredom from price action, cāmon š¤·š¼āāļø
This is a big deal for some, and itās triggering to hear āOGsā brush it off like that.
That part I didnāt agree with either. But it can be difficult to understand why people feel passionate about something when they donāt. So in that respect it was just a poor question.
āStuck in technical mindsetā? Lol dudeā¦ BIPs are technical changes, and this one is a joke.
I was referring to technical vs moral. If his purpose on the pod was to purely explain the BIP, fair play. Felt he didnāt speak enough to why the BIP though. Saying Bitcoin is anarchy is not enough, or entirely true. Rules can be changed, and have been contentiously by a small group of rulers.
It is true. Bitcoin is anarchy. Just because rules can change doesnāt make it not anarchy.
