so much for quiting bitcointalk.org
i just love the controversy too much!
I didn't believe you'd really leave. You can't really trust that other forum anyway. It's run by cypherdoc.
Not even that, but literally everything there is anti-core, anti-blockstream.
Gets annoying/repetitive after a while.
To me, the Frap.doc forum's knee-jerk anti-CoreStream grumbling only becomes more hilarious as time goes on.
It leads them to ridiculous positions like being anti-CLTV, anti-RBF, and anti-SEGWIT.
Now they want to stop segwit from bumping the tps, after spending the last year moaning about how "we neeeed a tps bump RIGHT FUCKING MEOW, or Bitcoin will surely die alone and unloved like an old cat lady."
And then there's the endless process of failed vanity fork bikeshedding, from XT to Unlimited and now to Satoshi's Altcoin.
That deranged ant farm never gets old. They're always agitated and scurrying around looking for something to bite or sting.
The frequent pouty meltdowns and whiny rage-quits are priceless. It's very entertaining when they finally realize they have no power over Bitcoin, and can do nothing to change that fact no matter how much noise they make.
The Gavinistas are so self-righteous and determined, yet so ineffective. That makes for a perfect comedy of errors!
They could simply do an honest self-assessment, admit failing because they don't understand how Bitcoin works, and come back.
But that would entail admissions of error on their part and of correctness regarding Core/Blockstream/Theymos, so it won't happen, and we get to enjoy sweet LOLcow products until the last one suffers their inevitable Hearnia.
I agree with your overall points, Icebreaker; however, it seems that it could take awhile before the masses see through the various bullshit and the multiple weak-ass rage quits.
In essence, you seem to be correct that a lot of them seem to be mad for the mere sake of being mad, and it makes little sense what they are mad about, and they are seeming to cause their own issues, such as they say: "Let's cause bitcoin prices to fall in order that core compromises with us." Then they cause prices to fall, and then they say: "LOOOOOOK!!!!!!! This is Bullshit that bitcoin's prices are falling!!!!!!!!" And, they caused the very thing that they are complaining about. Crazy and contradictory at the same time... and seems to make little to no sense in the real world.
