Topic: The Lunacy of BTU Supporters - page 5. (Read 3472 times)
I do agree that it is rather bizarre that BU supporters talk a lot about decentralization, but they are centralizing a great deal of power in the hands of a few mining pool operators and major miners, and putting miners in control of protocol options like blocksize rather than the dev community with inputs from everyone. That's a mistake. Miners are not a neutral party in the bitcoin ecosystem, and putting them in charge disempowers everyone else.
So this BTU thing causes the bitcoin price to decrease. 
I`ve never been vary familiar with all this block size,scaling,LN,blocktream shit,but it`s obvious that some people want to profit from destroying bitcoin and replacing it with some fake altcoin pretending to be btc.

Not sure if this is an essay or rant 
Now do one on Blockstream supporters lol

BTU supporters refuse to acknowledge China mining centralization and that a few elite Chinese control majority of BTU hash. They seem to think this is what Satoshi wanted, Chinese centralized mining and control over Bitcoin. When did decentralization become centralized? They also have a fanatical belief in Core/Blockstream conspiracy theories such as forcing people to use LN. As if no other company can create a side-chain for off-chain transactions. They also believe ALL Core contributors; more than 100 people are all conspiring with Blockstream to centralize Bitcoin and usurp control for themselves, while ignoring the centralization already taking place in China. The Chinese already control most of the mining equipment production, the actual mining of Bitcoin and now possibly via BTU the development and direction of Bitcoin. BUT, BTU supporters don’t see a problem there, no conspiracy, just the conspiracy with Blockstream…
The conclusions I have drawn from these lunatics is that they would rather see Bitcoin burn than admit the flaws with BTU. Their hate for Core is such that they would rather give Bitcoin over to the Chinese and see it destroyed than find an equitable solution elsewhere. Their mentality is BTU or bust, as if no other solution to scaling can exist. The truth is, Bitcoin is probably doomed. With a few “elite” miners making the decisions for the majority. I thought Bitcoin was supposed to be different? Sounds a lot like every other system we have.
The scaling debate reminds me of how Trump and every republican gets elected in the US. Poor uneducated white voters vote them into office believing the lies told by these wealthy people with wealthier friends, “We know what’s best, trust us, we have your best interests at heart.” The same white voters have been told for decades by republicans that “liberal” “left” “Democrat” are bad words and nothing good comes from them. These same dumb white voters didn’t know that “Obamacare” was a demonizing term created by republicans to fool them about the ACA. They didn’t understand that Obamacare was the ACA and providing them free or low cost healthcare, which they liked. Now they are horrified the republicans they voted into office want to get rid of their healthcare.
The sheeple have been manipulated since the dawn of time by the elite to support ideas that goes against their own self-interests because of irrational hatred the elite create in the sheeple’s minds. Keep voting republicans into office, keep believing in the wealthy elite. They will make America (and Bitcoin) great again and your lives will improve, except it never does. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results - Albert Einstein
Same kind of situation with the scaling debate, minus the voting (the little guy doesn’t have a voice in Bitcoin). You can whisper, you can talk, you SCREAM at the top of your lungs but only the elite miners have a say in what happens, as designed apparently by Satoshi or at least that’s what BTU supporters will have you believe.
Mental illness is no joke. You cannot have a rational discussion with irrational people. Arguing is pointless. For further proof, visit /r/btc if you dare!
Note: Maybe not ALL BTU supporters are lunatics, some are paid shills and others maybe lacking basic reasoning skills?
