Wow Brian Armstrong is such a jerk!
To me it's looking like he's telling everyone to not agree with consensus simply because he feels it doesn't meet his requirements.
Coinbase is a bank!Let's face it!
And imo Core's roadmap is threatening his business model. That guy is against Lightning Network and especially against confidential transactions as this could hinder Coinbase's ability to track bitcoin uses and therefore to comply to AML regulations.
Coinbase has never been on the same side of Bitcoin nor decentralization as the majority. I've always suspected this, but the strong push from Armstrong towards another implementation just suggests that he is unable to push his own agenda. Even his CTO signed various statements supporting Core roadmaps and whatnot. He does not have adequate knowledge to be able to state that, Segwit as the first solution, would be a mistake (what would he base his opinion on, bias?). He's still trying to push forward the joke that does not even have a proper team of developers. However, this post might cause something similar to this:
Does this mean all of the major mining pools are in favor of this?
Yes, over 80% of the hashrate.
What is a "female idea"? Why not ask for "ideas" based on race, hair color, age bracket and sexual orientation while you're at it? Ideas stand on their own merits, not the identity of the person proposing them.
Nonsense. It has been proven that the performance of work groups is increased when there is diversity (the more women -> better). That's what the person meant (I hope).
