RE: Trace Mayer Is Now On Steemit!

in #bitcoin8 years ago

He catches hell from the maximalist side anytime he says anything remotely positive about anything not-bitcoin.

Probably playing the long game on this one.

Interesting. Makes sense. Muh tribalism! It impacts us all.

Prior to Steemit, I had zero interest in any other altcoin. Nothing else had a mechanism to overcome the huge network effect bitcoin enjoys, regardless of how superior the technology might be. With 3 second confirmation times, 100k transactions a second throughput, AND a mechanism to grow the network with everyday users who've never touched cryptocurrency before... that's exciting stuff.

Oh, btw, I got in a twitter discussion earlier today which included Tone. He favorited this tweet which I thought you'd enjoy. ;-)

@Tone_LLT I mean no disrespect, but your debate with Blake included (IMO) some misrepresentations of the facts.

As a bitcoinclassic dev, the only think I disagree on with him is him claiming that Etherium is not a competitor to Bitcoin. Otherwise he's a nice guy and has good ideas.
