Agree on the counterpoints, his counterpoints literally argue that we need to continue to upgrade bitcoin. If software is not updated it dies.
Literally no bitcoin dev in history ever wanted to merge an upgrade "without alot of thought", his insinuations are grossly inaccurate. He needs to be educated on how FOSS works.
WTF does that have anything to do with the OP.
No.
It makes ZERO sense to compare FOSS development with government, they're nothing alike.
It makes ZERO sense to compare adding numbers with maintaining/upgrading a network protocol.
The only thing that makes sense is that a non developer would come up with such nonsensical comparisons.
Saylor needs to be called out for this dangerous ignorance. FOSS development needs support and bitcoin is FAR from being finished.
Saylor finally comments about development on the new WBD podcast and it isn't great. Props to Peter for the constant pushback because Saylor fumbled hard.
I really got sick of him conflating open source development with government, and I really really got sick of the hyperbole of adding numbers to our numerical system and finally I really really really got sick of him constantly insinuating bitcoin developers don't know what they're doing.
This guy is bad news for bitcoin development.
Surprise! Brian Armstrong still hates bitcoin.
Maybe crazy to say but I don't see bitcoin going below 50k ever again and the lows are most certainly in for the year.
Gotta love it when the CEO's own devs have to constantly educate him in public.
Bitcoin is 15 years old and that's not even the main reason why "Bitcoin Season 2" is extremely cringe.
Ah I get what you mean now. What I'm saying is there's no way that majority hashrate would risk a HF over CAT.
>It only requires hash rate majority
This is incorrect as the UASF has proven.
>It can't be stopped by economic majority without hardfork
This is incorrect as well, to stop it the economic majority would simply not run the SF.
LOL, majority of hashrate? Which miners have confirmed support for CAT?
Anyone is free to create forks of bitcoin at any time. Miners and companies learned what happens if you go against nodes in 2017.
Udi and friends can posture on twitter all they want.
Soft forks require economic majority of nodes to run.
If we do get CAT at all it will likely be in the GSR but severely neutered.
And that's if we can even get the GSR through which would be years from now.
The lightning network doesn't go down, coinbase services go down.

I prefer not to wish ill on anyone but Roger did many bad things, hurt people and played dirty, he was eventually going to go down one way or another.
