Wrong. Not MY enemy. *Bitcoin's enemy*.

bitcoin is just a currency.
its only enemies are people with big pockets full of fiat.

its a p2p currency which means: everybody can do as he wants to (this includes sdice AND luke-jr not letting their transactions in his blocks).

so please.. just calm down a little.

You are digging way too deep. You sound like an intelligent guy and your time is more valuable doing other things. Just because you are not Libitarian does not mean you don't like Bitcoin and cannot use it. You said to read the whole thing, well sorry I have better things to do...

I realize i went slighly overboard with this poll, but i guess even if 99% people say "No", it will at least raise awarness of the "social punishment vs mathematical algorithms" problem.

And i still will consider Luke-Jr an enemy of Bitcoin.

If it's because of what he said in the discussion you quoted then you have no clue as to the actual position bitcoin takes in society.
Bitcoin is a balancing force to the rigidness of the current monetary systems.
But without the deep roots of conventional economy bitcoin becomes worthless.
This is because globally stuff like food, energy and technology are the product of these conventional economies.

So in reality the best thing is to have both and i don't understand why Luke-Jr would be an enemy of bitcoin because he doesn't see bitcoin in the same extreme way that you seem to.
The notion of "If you're not with us you're against us." has a pretty sick history.

I thought Luke-Jr being a religious authoritarian statist zealot was old news?

I don't like people with mentality like that they destroy anything they touch...

Luke-jr: Would you ever change any of the core principles of bitcoin:

1) The limited supply
2) The decentralised nature

A yes or no will do, there are no inbetweens to take on that.

They are if their different opinion is that they should beat you and even kill you whenever you refuse to do something they say.

And yeah, code should be double checked, no matter who adds it.

bitcoin is just a currency...please leave your political views at home.

i already read the original thread and was quit shocked that you even need to make another thread for this shit.

so please: just shut up...

Let's talk governance, lipstick, and pigs.

I find that few people, even some devs understand the philosophical nature of money and how the Bitcoin network operates socially. The discussions are good. Don't make them personal.*

Except against libertarians. Wink

While I don't like the tone, this about sums up the original quoted conversation.

No. This is your delusion. Even if other nuts share it, it isn't reality.

Good monarchy is better than bad anarchy, bad democracy, bad whatever. But who guarantees that a monarchy stays good? Where's the possibility and incentive for positive change to be initiated by the plebs?

If you want to have a discussion, learn to quote better first. I cannot work with that.

To answer the Q in your thread title: No.

How long have you known Dashjr?

I only know him on the forums, since 2010.
