Using nonsense like this make anti-DC crowd so pathetic. Paul was absolutely right at the time. BCash could have won and you really dont need decentralization for most txns (look at tron or any stablecoin). Yet those 0.1% cases makes the huge difference but assuming that fiat-brains realize that is naive. Fortunately, Bitcoin won back in the day but things might change. Dont you view eg. Eth as BCash like alternative? Because they are winning in lot of metrics already. Not because they are more decentralized.

If Drivechain was a good idea then there wouldnt be any doubt? Change my mind :)

Was Segwit a good idea?

If i was Vitalik i would spread this exact FUD inside Bitcoin community.

Or you would be trying to get Drivechain adopted

Well. Once Drive chain goes through we won't have to listen to the dumb arguments against it. We can all each decide based on our preferences because drivechain moves changes to layer 2. Instead of arguing or the future of bitcoin, we keep bitcoin solid and pick what we want on layer 2

Drivechains are not going through.

They shall not pass.

10 sats \ 1 reply \ @DiracDelta 4 Sep 2023

The biggest feature anyone has ever been able to compellingly argue that Drivechain provides is that it will make the Drivechainers shut up. Does that seem compelling to you?

Reality is more absurd than parody, so DC being accepted in exchange for silence would be par for the course.

Though, I don't think DC will ever be accepted, because most people never hear about these debates at all.

LOL,

Tron? Stablecoins? Eth? Bcash?

Do you mean shitcoins?

No, he wasn't right. He was dead wrong and so are you.

I love when shitcoiners come in to defend someone and makes things abundantly clear for onlookers 😂

Exactly.

And that's also the point of the original image, it shows who Paul Sztorc really is.

What a load of bs. Decentralization is the whole point. Bcash is a failure.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @eduardopro OP 4 Sep 2023

Exactly. The whole point.

You don't need decentralization for most txs, that's why we have L2 solutions. You do need decentralization to prevent the debasement of the unit of account though, or more generally state / institutional capture.

An insufficiently decentralized coin would have been useless and ruined people's generational wealth had they been foolish enough to put their wealth into it.

BCash could have won

No, it couldn't have won because it didn't win. The market decided. Markets are not random, they are people casting their vote with skin the game. Your opinion doesn't magically rewrite history.

I expect you are billionaire because you already know which way any market will go since we are living in deterministic universe, correct?

Good discovery. Easy to see who is farsighted, and who IS NOT.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @eduardopro OP 4 Sep 2023

Exactly.

These other commenters acting as if the tweet doesn't speak volumes are suspicious as fuck.

Did you see this video, by the way? --> #241855

That's not evidence that "big blockers are behind Paul Sztorc's Drivechains theory". That's just a hint and a tweet out of context that mentions his position regarding selling BCH for BTC afaict.

You have a link for that tweet?

Look, he's not going to admit that Roger Ver and them are behind his company and the Drivechains nonsense.

However, there's this video --> #241855

And this tweet --> https://twitter.com/Truthcoin/status/891803506134458368

So far.

I didn't say he's not backed.

I'm just trying to hold up standards in this discussion.

Using a simple screenshot of a tweet without even a link as "evidence" is ridiculous from any side of any discussion

375 sats \ 0 replies \ @eduardopro OP 4 Sep 2023

I know it wasn't clear at first that this was the second post in a series. My mistake.

You did hold the standard, and I already gave you the link to the tweet and the video. Those are pieces of evidence.

I know I haven't proved anything yet and none of us were in those backdoor meetings to verify, but the situation does look suspicious. Hopefully, more will be revealed.

I will admit though that I did not have a great understanding at the time, but more of a heuristic approach of "yeah, these guys seem to be on the right side of thing and these other guys do not".
