"Anything that could be done with a hardfork could be done with a softfork"
Not much of a debate. Paul doesn't even understand what a hardfork is.

Nirvana fallacy. The whitepaper itself acknowledged that the lightning network cannot scale to 8 billion people so calling it a failure for failing to achieve a goal it never set for itself is silly.

That's like saying that giving your valuables to someone pointing a gun at you is consenting to the robbery or eating the food of your slaveowner is consenting to your enslavement. Operating within a system imposed on you is not consent.

What will definitely never achieve anything is glorifying apathy as some kind of brave and profound stance rather than the lazy deepity that it is.

With that apathetic mentality Ross would still be in jail for the rest of his life and self-custody would be outlawed

Nirvana fallacy. There were plenty of other issues worth voting for such as freeing Ross, ending operation choke point 2.0, etc.

Plenty of examples in Europe and plenty of politicians pushing for it in the US

As if Democrats would not jump at the opportunity to bomb Iran

Fuck spam on the blockchain

Do you know a better way of freeing Ross?

You get economic and political power if you wield the third one

Government mandates lead to capital misallocation. Who would have thought? 🤔
