Topic: Roger Ver and blocksize - page 6. (Read 8110 times)

I agree with that. It can be something else, but the guy has his own interests and he has some influence, so he is apparently trying to move things in a way he wishes.

Ver, you're preaching to the choir in this place.

Theymos, Maxwell, and their army of trolls and paid shills have turned this forum into a cesspool of veritable stupidity.

Even though you speak the truth, and you have done more to help Bitcoin succeed than 99% of these fools, none of the Core trolls will ever respect you, since you have chosen to support big blocks and go against the Core-mandated mantra of "SEGWIT SEGWIT SEGWIT SEGWIT...."  and you have dared to point out that these idiots have no fucking clue about economics.

This needless division in the community is worse than a rivalry between two high school football teams. It is pathetic. The Core shills have no brains, the only way they can learn is the hard way, and even then, they will never, ever, admit they were at fault.

icebreaker is one of the worst trolls ever conceived, he should be taken out back and shot in the head. I've observed hundreds of his posts, and not once has he ever contributed anything of value, he is ALWAYS negative.

Right now Bitcoin is like Frodo, in the part where Frodo goes in the cave and is tricked by Gollum before being almost devoured by the Giant Spider. Gollum is Core and the Spider represents the false promises of eventual off-chain scaling. And while Frodo is stuck in the web, a new adventurer comes to take his place (altcoins)

Our only hope now is for Frodo to shine his light, and defeat the spider before eventually beating the shit out of Gollum and putting Gollum back in his place.

Gollum can only learn the hard way...

Enjoy your fits of poutraged pique and self-pitying sulking.

The rest of us will still be here when you guys build a bridge, and GET OVER IT.   

I can't agree more.

In matters regarding the preservation of Bitcoin's incentive structure, Core's understanding of economics is superior to your own (LMK when you get a PhD in distributed systems, thus gaining credibility equal to Dr. Back's).

As a free market True Believer, you should have already accepted that as fact, since the socioeconomic majority is clearly behind Core (and loathes Klassique).

Instead we are treated to the spectacle of a supposedly pro-market Bitcoin Jesus Movementarian acting like a full-blooded Marxist, throwing his toys out the pram the instant he's relegated to (cranky, disruptive, contentious) minority status.

Gmax and I are apparently not on speaking terms due to disagreement over an ASIC pre-order fiasco in which we both (willingly) participated.

Having stated that disclaimer, I must remark upon your white belt level trolling.

Every single time you attack the socioeconomic majority, we effortlessly throw you to the mat and give you a friendly (hopefully educational) kick in the head.

But you learn nothing.

What are we to make of this?  How many times does XT/Klassique/Unlimiturd need to be dismissed by the market until you Get It?

As Bitcoin Jesus, I expect you to be first in grokking the ethos.  Instead, you do what you've been doing.

Hard to put words in your mouth when it is already occupied by Brian Armstrong's ****.  

Greg, you should really be ashamed of yourself for attacking fellow members of this community who care so deeply about Bitcoin.

I nearly singlehandedly funded the entire first wave of Bitcoin adoption with well over a million dollars worth of money that I earned before I'd even heard of Bitcoin.
Since then I've spent 6.5 years of my life and about $20M USD worth of my own bitcoin promoting the ecosystem, including billboards and national radio ads.
I created the first website to accept Bitcoin for hundreds of thousands of products, kicking off the entire wave of Bitcoin merchant adoption around the world.  I also funded the seed rounds for most of the popular Bitcoin businesses today.

I thank you for your work on the core Bitcoin protocol, but you are a true black belt level troll.  

Way to put words in my mouth!

For the record:
I like Core,  but they are misguided on the economics of this issue.
I love Segwit, but it was supposed to be ready in April, and would only buy a few months of extra time if 100% of the wallets implemented it instantly.
I loved /r/Bitcoin and Bitcointalk, and was a daily user before all the censorship by Theymos took over.
Just look at /r/Bitcoin,  people aren't even allowed to see the up-votes or down-votes,  let alone post an opinion that is in disagreement with Theymos.
It makes me want to cry when I see how far things have strayed from the principles that early bitcoin users claimed to support.

Hah, as if Ver needs sockpuppet accounts. Keep on smoking the crack Carlton

Can anyone guess which accounts are Roger Ver's sock-puppets? You're a sad, sad man, Roger

Jules: (smiles at Carlton Banks) Check out the big brain on Carlton! You're a smart motherfucker. That's right, bereft of veracity.

yeah, because knowing Roger's identity makes everything he says true and everything I say false? Using your logic, your own statements are bereft of veracity, so why are we listening to you at all?

This logic thing, try thinking things through before putting your pie-holders on the keyboard. I promise you it works.

I know who Ver is.
Who the f*** are you?

Who's network is he endangering?

Yeah, apparently.

Satoshi had talent to offer.

Couldn't have said it any better! Just look at his self-portrayal that is a narcissistic masterpiece. I'm really grateful that Core is still being developed by sane and intelligent individuals, who did not give up despite the frequent sh*tstorms by the Gavinista gang.

Ver and his buddies do not care about Bitcoin at all. All they care is making more money for themselves, no matter the method. So for me it is well imaginable that Ver is trying to negatively influence the Bitcoin community, simply because he is heavily invested in some Altcoin that might profit from Bitcoin looking bad. Luckily Ver's media visibility is not too pronounced and has been vanishing lately. Bitcoin.com never took really off, because the PR strategy for it was ideologically framed from the very start.

ya.ya.yo!

Is that a real magazine?

Who paid for this opinion of yours?
Are you grumpy cos Ver has not employed your services yet?

(lol above ^ noted)

*lieu?
But love the FU factor (no sarcasm)

Yeah maybe, maybe not.
How much you betting?

Posted in loo of another Ver btc.

Twitter, you t***?
Go to Ver's forum and ask him why, then report back, thanks.

Posted in loo of 1 btc from Ver.

Smart people remain rich, lucky people remain confused.

Not as bad as Satoshi, but yeah, pretty bad...
