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.
Nuance has been lost in this debate

How do we get it back, though?

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

At this point you dont seem like a credible person

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.

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.
reply
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?
