ben_vulpes: touchy tatiana, you

ben_vulpes: not you, trinque
ben_vulpes: such progress.
ben_vulpes: williamdunne: is not the hard cap of 21M of the thing enough for you?
ben_vulpes: williamdunne: is not the inability to interdict funds enough for you?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: these i suppose are the muppets you're looking for.
ben_vulpes: "oh gosh so we can all be richer in the fyooooture instead of working today" sort of nonsense
ben_vulpes: usd denominated value of bitcoins /literally does not matter/
ben_vulpes: and what is this "growth" thing you keep banging on about?
ben_vulpes: williamdunne: alternatively, the big blocks version will be populated with retards.
ben_vulpes: the thing about bitcoins is that it a system that conserves, and resists diddling in the vein of fiat economies.
ben_vulpes: so no technical fears then?
ben_vulpes: especially if you're even sort of supporting this blocksize change derpage.
ben_vulpes: trinque: you gotta have a hypothesis about what's going to happen, man.
ben_vulpes: 21me8 then, williamdunne.
ben_vulpes: i'm saying that "right" doesn't matter.
ben_vulpes: what's the worst case scenario of hitting that ceiling?
ben_vulpes: it's as magic as 21M.
ben_vulpes: appropriate shmappropriate.
ben_vulpes: i guess they're all bitcoin or something retarded like that
ben_vulpes: what then distinguishes bitcoin from XXXcoin?
ben_vulpes: so if you change the block size, you get deuterium.
ben_vulpes: is that still a tautology?
ben_vulpes: nitrogen is nitrogen because of the arrangement of electrons in valence shells.
ben_vulpes: also what is this "to grow" nonsense.
ben_vulpes: if a thing exists with a block size that is not one megabyte, /that thing is not bitcoin/.
ben_vulpes: williamdunne: you're missing the point.
ben_vulpes: usg can break it like they broke gpg, but that broken thing will not and cannot be bitcoin
