Look, everyone, this is not really difficult is it? If bitcoin is just another tool of the 1%, then, fuck it, we will be among the new 1%.
How is bitcoin a tool? It is not centralized, and once the bitcoin system is in place, then Bitcoin just is... so if you want to modify something that is, then you have to have overwhelming consensus, otherwise bitcoin just is and you can attempt to contribute to it how you like, but you cannot use it to your pleasure, even though you can choose whether or not to use it and if you choose to use it, then you choose how to use it.
You seem to be implying some kind of proof of stake with your suggestion that people who own BTC can direct BTC, but even if there is some ability to contribute and change bitcoin, it remains a matter of convincing others, no?
But if it is more than that, if it is meant to make the world as a whole a better place, to give the world financial freedom, then basic mechanisms such as creating a fucking wallet can not be an issue of confusion.
I think that those outcomes were expected to come about by bitcoin putting centralized fiat systems into check, but the results are not automatic, even though bitcoin could have a tendency to move the world into a better place at least in terms of a financial system that is based on math rather than possible centralized whimsicality.
Either the differences between segwit and legacy need to be made so clear that anyone who can operate a computer understand it, or we need to go back to a universal standard.
You make no sense. people can choose to or not to use bitcoin. If bitcoin is too hard for them, then they can use something else, such as fiat, or credit cards or bcash... In the long run, bitcoin is going to evolve, and if you think that there needs to be changes, then either you can attempt to change it or you can hire peeps to help you in such endeavors. I doubt that you are going to convince very many peeps to abandon segwit when it barely is just starting.. and further, you cannot just reverse segwit, unless you achieve some kind of overwhelming level of consensus that is similar to the process that put segwit in place. Perhaps only you, jbreher, and the other bcash shills really are aiming to attempt to reverse segwit, and I doubt that any of their motives are really based on improving rather than attacking aspects of bitcoin.
Segwit is powerful as fuck, and it seems to be proving itself as a benefit to bitcoin rather than a detractor as you seem to be arguing.. Hard to take you seriously with such bullshit points. Did someone take over your account or have you always been a BIG BLOCKER without any fucking clue and buying into the more recent segwit=bad arguments?
