It's amazing to me how much hate I've received for supporting Bitcoin #Blake2b. Let's take a look at the pathetic state of Bitcoin #SHA256 today:

-same number of nodes as in 2017
-mining is dominated by 5 big companies
-core devs are completely captured and appointing inexperienced stooges as maintainers

Is this what you're afraid of breaking up? We have nothing to lose. Bitcoin SHA256 is accomplishing none of the goals envisioned by Satoshi. Nobody is using it as uncensorable peer to peer electronic cash. The people controlling SHA256 are happy to see it as a decoration on a balance sheet. They're happy with their conferences and badges and social status. They see most people as stupid and unsophisticated. They've assumed power over one of the most powerful tools humanity has ever known, and only used it to stroke their egos.

What happened on August 8th was maybe the greatest purifying event in the history of Bitcoin. It separated the people happy with Bitcoin in its failed state from those who are willing to work to fulfill its vision. It's people like me who have put in the time and effort to learn how to run a node and miner who will write history, while those who are comfortable sitting back and criticizing while not actually doing anything will end up in its ash heap.

Go ahead and attack me. Show the world how out of touch and complacent you are. Those who believe will be ready September 1.
