vre is just a mouth piece and not a dev. much like theymos is not a dev of bitcoin core but is a mouthpiece
both theymos and ver have their own domains bitcoin.org and bitcoin.com
in august 2017 consensus did NOT upgrade the network. instead a bilateral split event occured that cause 2 rivals to split in different directions.
however. the bitcoin brand is and should remain owned by no one. this does not mean capaign for cash to get it. or campaign for core to get it. neither side should
the best analogy is the dollar analogy.
dollar is owned by no country. but many countries that can show historic links to the british empire can use the dollar. when when someone asks about wanting the dollar its best to simply ask is that amreican dollar(USD) or is that canadian dollar(CAD)
trying to fight that only america own the dollar and cadada is a fraud or arguing canada own the dollar and america are the fraud. are jsut playing drama games of something that should not be owned by one centralist party. and should not end up as lawsuits to determin a central controller
bitcoin is owned by no team. but many teams that can show historic chain history to satoshis genesis block, can use "bitcoin". when when someone asks about wanting bitcoin its best to simply ask is that bitcoin core(btc) or is that bitcoin cash(bch)
trying to fight that only core own bitcoin and cash is a fraud or arguing cash own bitcoin and core are the fraud. are jsut playing drama games of something that should not be owned by one centralist party. and should not end up as lawsuits to determin a central controller
as for pointing this whole drama at ver. the very same argumnts can be pointed at theymos.
after all if your true belief is decentralised bitcoin you would understand this.
but if you ar a staunch supporter of core being the king monarchy of bitcoin. then decentralisation concepts are lost to you so there need not be a reply from core defenders
i personally am not a team player of either side. because both sides are actually the same side. both playing this point the finger attempt to hop that they can convince the community that decentralisation doesnt work and the only option is centralisation to avoid future drama(f their own causing)
both bitcoin core paid devs and the paid devs that made bitcoin cash are financed through the same company.
jgarzig, gavin A (BLOQ) financed by DCG
P.wuiile, gmaxwell, luke jr (blockstram/core) financed by DCG
its all a get 2 brothers to fight until people beg the parents to choose their favourite child.
do not let yourself get dragged into the drama of having to choose one or the other.. man up and say hell no.. no one gets to own bitcoin
Absolutely spot on! Perfectly said
