If BTC isn't controlled someone really needs to come up with a good reason for SegWit's existence and explain it to the smart people in the room. Also we should have a good reason for the tentacles of the Blockstream Behemoth spending so much time and money astroturfing and socially engineering the entire crypto space toward shit solutions and manipulated pump and dump ponzis.

 

Because from here it looks like some run-of-the-mill commie tactics, same ones they used (and which failed) against Trump, and it looks an awful lot like nothing scares the crypto space like a stable Bitcoin protocol without the SegWit bug.

The "Blockchains can't scale" narrative was a whopper from…Blockstream…which has been empirically proven false. FUD around reorgs are exactly that and solely affect miners, not users, when the system is working as intended. Otoh Blockstream's irreversible SegWit bug cannot scale - BTC is dead whether anyone realizes or not, at least as far as a global network is concerned. Most recently Core is entertaining the idea of increasing the $21M cap to introduce inflation. When its possible for a small group of paid-off developers to change fundamentals like that, we might as well suck it up and accept the Fed. A stable protocol for blockchain based money removes the power that so many in this space are seeking.

 

It sounds like we're close to agreeing that central bankers are the root cause of most of the woes of this planet. (THEY) are not threatened by thousands of shitcoins. In fact its in their best interest to have as many competing cryptocurrencies as possible! Divide and conquer.

 

When the first sniff of a recession approaches the implosion of crypto begins, and (THEY) will centralize even more wealth and power because people were blinded by short term gainz. But if we as a group were smart enough to coalesce around one coin, with a stable protocol, we would protect from (THEM) as well as the worst of ourselves. All we need is a reliable, scalable blockchain…nothing fancy.
