If I may add... "Cash on the internet" is laudably right in the white paper itself... The main impediment, IMO, remains TPowersTB that are determined to have complete identification, surveillance and control over the entire internet--first and foremost financial/transactional!

I listened to the What Bitcoin Did Saylor podcast, and I really want to respond, though that may be unwise. But I want thoughtful, fearless content in my feed, so I should start making some, right? F...

The two things that irked me was the misunderstanding around soft forks and the constant comparison of our engineering with aircraft engineering. Aircrafts have an intense maintenance schedule, last 30 years, and have a long supply chain. Things that don't translate well to what we do.

I also got the impression that the past soft forks were apparently in the disinterest of miners, when in truth miners were often fighting users over increasing the block size. The idea that past miner expectation has to be fulfilled at any cost seems bad too. There is no single expectation and it is not clear which point in time we should take to measure this expectation. I get the feeling that the whole argument seemingly caters to the big public mining companies. But we already have soft fork activation mechanisms for them to express their opinions, so the whole line of arguments feels like a straw man for what you already pointed out as a 'gold bug' vision.

Cash on the internet is my goal and this seems to be running against it a bit.

If cash on the internet is your goal, sounds like you’re looking for BCash. That’s their goal too.

New category of people: "actual devs". As opposed to, you know, just "devs".

Because it means 1) we are being ruled by a self-selected central committee 2) your chances of making a wide audience aware of your event kinds, tags, or other specs is limited by whether that committee decides your events are important enough to be added (they cannot simply add everything because ...

It really does look like a hit piece. According to the article logic, we shouldn't trust TCP/IP because we already know it was a product of ARPA. The "trustworthiness" is misdirection when, really, we only need to scrutinize the code.

We nearly gave up, in frustration, because they dug up all the baby plants or would just lie down on top of them and crush them. Filled entire beds with gravel, to stop them from being cat toilets. 😭
