like, who gives a f--k..it is not 2017 anymore...that is done..and what's done is done.
there are bigger 'enemies' or rather 'competitors' arriving
this bolshevik/menshevik nonsense is way passé.
That last is a candidate for some kind of a bad metaphor prize. Wrong, wrong, wrong on so many levels. Bitcoin is not an international conspiracy to enslave the world under the false rubric of “liberating” it, steal everybody’s property, and mass-murder as many people as practicable; and for my part, I am not a goddamn Communist.
The rest is myopic and foolish.
Fork attacks remain one of the biggest long-term existential threats to Bitcoin. That is one of the four major risks that I would disclose in a Bitcoin prospectus, together with creeping regulatory and “KYC” attacks, miner centralization, and potential big-bank manipulation of the market.
The big blockers did huge damage—financially (in case for but the worst, you didn’t notice November 2018?), technologically (throwing monkey wrenches into Bitcoin development), and against adoption. They should begone and stay gone—dump their remaining bitcoins for forked shitcoins, and fork the fuck off to hell. I am so very much looking forward to a smooth Segwit v1 upgrade (Schnorr, MuSig, etc.)
without the type of bullshit undermining that holds Bitcoin back.
The bitcoin.COM domain is still owned by a sleazy scammer who is abusing it to mislead newbies into fake Bitcoin.
Faketoshi.I could continue, but it would be superfluous...
Hey... that's largely what I was trying to say
(you took the words right out of my mouth - you robber.)... But, of course, you said it first... and better than me.

Likely, I presuming that many of us are also familiar with that expression about consistency and hobgoblins.
Most people forget the very important qualifier in that quote. Emerson speaks of “a
foolish consistency”,
viz., refusing for mere consistency’s sake to consider that one may have ever been wrong about anything whatsoever. There is nothing glorious about being consistently stupid.
Some of us would argue that Emerson was generally full of it; but he was not wrong there!
I did look up the quote before I referred to it in my post, so I did recall at the time of my post that Emerson was referring to "foolish consistency" rather than mere consistency on its own.. but purposefully, I just decided to refer to the whole quote in a more vague and amorphous kind of way....
By the way, I do expect that a lot of us may have started out our bitcoin journey with mistakes and even getting drug into some levels of shitcoin investment and sympathies for shitcoins and we also may look back and recognize that we made a lot of mistakes in the way that we invested into bitcoin, whether that was too little of an investment at earlier points of time, selling too many BTC too soon or just failing to take enough safeguarding precautions regarding purchasing, storing or moving our coins.
So, sure in that sense, I would not expect any kind of exact consistencies with each us HODLers because hopefully we are learning along the way in terms of how to be a "better" bitcoiner... or at least, better in terms of our own goals and aspirations, and hopefully we are NOT continuing to make some of the more detrimental of our earlier mistakes - also, sometimes, it could take a while to convert our own lil selfies over to another way of thinking about bitcoin and/or shitcoins and/or how traditional assets and currencies fit into our whole approach to bitcoin and into our investment lives, too
(whether we are expecting progeny, or otherwise).
(FWIW, in some clusterfork of a Reputation thread, I mentioned that I would offer jbreher a (virtual) beer if he ever consistently repudiated his beloved forked shitcoins and Faketoshi-apologia, and admitted that he was wrong about Segwit, Core, etc. The offer stands.)
Does NOT seem very likely that jbreher would engage in any kind of behavior that would allow him to take you up on your beer offer, even though I do hate to lose hope for some people, but sometimes, we just get a sense that some people have gone too far down a path that they cannot feel comfortable coming off of such path... whether they are actually just invested in some of the ideology or what are the exact factors that are motivating NON-movement off of that path, I cannot fully know, especially when seemingly illogical positions remain in place for so many years in spite of what some of us in the "shitcoin minimalist" camp
(I think I got "shitcoin minimalist" from Tone Vays) perceive to be decently convincing evidence that should help the shitcoiners (or big blockers, or bitcoin naysayers) to change their seemingly nonsensical position(s)... but hey, everyone has rights to their (
sic) own perspective based upon giving the weight to the factors that they(
sic) deem to be MOAR important, or most important... whatever the case may be.
Right now, $1 bil btc is already "wrapped" (WBTC).
There is no such thing as WBTC....
I mean that WBTC is not BTC... So don't get fooled by what they are calling it. It is a fucking token.
So, who fucking cares if the WBTC managers call their token a BTC variant - because BTC, it is not.
Just for clarification, this is how it works.
You give WBTC managers your BTC (if you are that fucking stupid) and they keep your BTC while giving you a voucher. What the fuck kind of threat is that, exactly?
You have been reading too many sharding papers, Biodom.
you forgot to add Berkshire Hathaway
