RE: BIP91 Has Locked In! UASF is Dead. Could Bitcoin Hit New ATH?
Regular Bitcoiners want big blocks? In what universe? Maybe Bitcoin users who know next to nothing about what makesit truly valuable and disruptive would go that route. Big blocks are the darlings of those who want cheap short term fees at any cost... like Ver, or Garzik (who has a Bitcoin analytics company), or corporations who want to control it, or governments who want to know the details of your every last transaction for you dossier and tax records. Big blocks is the opposite of a private & truly fungible Bitcoin.
Ancap47 where did you get those upside down ideas?
Yeah, you're right, who would want lower fees and faster transaction times? That's just crazy! /s
Not at the cost of centralization I don't. That's not bitcoin. You want fast transactions, use Visa.
How will it centralize anything? The centralization is currently the main Bitcoin client that has been taken over by govt/corp interests.
That loose collection of 100+ open source Core developers are gov/corp interests? Again... in what universe? It is the big block camp that aligns closely with the govt-corp agenda. They want to track and tax it all with all transactions on a large trackable blockchain that requires very large computing platforms to manage. Do you think some individual freedom loving cypherpunks are going to have the resources or interest in running and developing for that future version of Bitcoin? The bigblock agenda hands that totally dystopian future to them [the statists) on a friggin' silver platter! It is layer2 that allows for privacy and all the things that governments & corporations fear. Look up LN, Sidechains, MimbleWimble etc. These privacy centric features are not wanted by Jihan and his bigblock-ASICBOOST-miner-killswitch buds at the PBOC.
Seriously, you are 1) ignorant and willfully so, or 2) a shill--and a probably paid one. I am leaning towards no. 2. I would add 3) stupid, but nobody in the BItcoin space is that stupid.
"That loose collection of 100+ open source Core developers are gov/corp interests? "
Are you serious? You're counting devs that added like one line of code. The vast majority of commits are done by a handful of Blockstream employees and that is easily proven.
It's really easy to follow the money from there. Blockstream is funded by AXA. AXA is the third largest company in the world and their last CEO happens to be the chairman of Bilderberg as well.
If you think 8MB blocks are going to centralize the network, you just haven't done the math. I can handle that on my desktop with a cheap 1TB harddrive and Cox communications 100mbps bandwidth.
Let's use facts, not name-calling.

Doubtful that Bitcoin on TOR can survive, and a Bitcoin that isn't censorship resistant has no reason for existing.
Regarding AXA conspiracy theories vs normal biz plans utilizing sidechains, I'm open minded to watching where that all leads.
Sorry 'bout the name calling. This stuff is important, so emotions are getting high and I'm not immune.
What are "AXA conspiracies"? Are you denying that AXA funded Blockstream?
I'm saying Blockstream devs don't have Bitcoin commit privileges and moreover AXA's funding 'blockchain' tech isn't necessarily bad and suggesting it is reeks of conspiracy-mindedness. It is arguably magnitudes less nefarious than those ASICBOOSTing, miner kill-switching proven bad actors funding the bigblockers.
The next few days will be damned interesting, I'm sure you will agree with me on than much.
anarchy can not be capitalist
Wrong. Anarchy IS capitalism.
HAHAHAHAHA
"[private] property is theft"- the first anarchist
now fuck off lmao
anarchy is the destruction of all unjustified hierarchy. Private property itself was stolen during the enclosure acts, through force. Once it was all collective property, now the workers must fight each other to work under the capitalist just to survive. Without guards nothing would keep capitalism in existence.
Capitalism has never existed without a government, while we have hundreds of examples of communism and socialism. You lack fundamental understanding of anarchy and you disgust me.
You're confusing capitalism with communism. You obviously didn't watch the video.
here I think this video applies to you
So the maker of this video doesn't understand private property rights either.
Hey, if you think private property is a bad thing, give me your car.
it is you who doesn't understand private property.
"private property rights"
You mean those legal fictions that can't exist without the government?
that's personal property not private property. Nice try tho, looks like you don't understand the different types of property.
Typical capitalist
what?
can you even define capitalism or communism?
I wrote a paper on it in college. That was before the internet so I had to actually read old books like Das Kapital.
Have you ever read the Communist Manifesto? You do realize that every plank of that manifesto is in effect in America? Including the most important one: Creation of a Central Bank.
Can you explain how you can achieve capitalism when the currency is centrally created?
"Can you explain how you can achieve capitalism when the currency is centrally created?"
capitalism without that has never existed. Capitalism without a government is impossible lmao
what are you actually fucking stupid?
Communism is when private property is abolished and the means of production become collectivised so that the workers may control them freely. You obviously do not understand any form of economic system
