He's weird. Yes. But he's a pure ancap. A very emotional one sure :)
But you have to agree that sticking to a useless expensive coin with zero utility not even worth transferring because it's so expensive, and mined by Blockchain a company owned by a big corporate CEO with connections to the Bilderberger group..sounds a biiiiiit like a communist party ;)
And yes, the fees ARE like 50$. Isn't that a problem? Do you want 2nd layer solutions on top of Bitcoin? I want it to be decentralized. Bitcoin cash will become more and more decentralized as miners adopt.
Yes I agree, Bitcoin tech is old and shit. The only use is as digital gold IF the market decides to treat it as such. I agree lighting and segwit and whatever are not real solutions. Increasing the block size indefinitely isn't either. Both are shitty coins that will work shitty if they were to go mainstream. I won't get into an argument about which one is less shitty, in the end they are both shit. If technology is all that matters to you then you should sell both and buy other coins like steem, which btw offers instant and FREE transcations with much much less network load.
As for the fees, yes they are very high (especially if you don't use segwit) BUT he is always overexaggerating the numbers, if it's 10 he will say 20, if it's 20 he will say 50 and so on and so forth. You say ancap I say professional con-artist. We will never agree on this :)
What we will probably agree though is that r/bitcoin has been filled with lots of new get rich quick "investors" and it's true there is plenty of censorship. Which is the same for /r/btc. Well I don't think I need to tell you reddit as a whole is a censorship shit hole.
As for bildberg connections, sorry I am not good with conspiracy theories, but I have heard quite a few for roger and his bcash friends too. But as I said, I don't like conspiracy theories!
Lol. Its a fact. The owner of blockstream is a axa ceo and chairman of bilderberger. :)
so?
Ok I decided to check this with an open mind. You said "Lol. Its a fact. The owner of blockstream is a axa ceo and chairman of bilderberger. :)"
According to wikipedia: " Blockstream is a company co-founded by Adam Back, Gregory Maxwell, Austin Hill and others, and led by Adam Back and Gregory Maxwell. "
None of these names are on the list of chairmen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilderberg_Group#Chairmen_of_the_Steering_Committee)
Maybe it's one of the others? Who knows...
Blockstream is directly funded by The Bilderberg Group, as the CEO and Chairman of both the Bilderberg Group and AXA are the same person, Henri de Castries.
Straight from wiki again, Key people Thomas Buberll (CEO) Denis Duverne (Chairman of the Board). No Henri there
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AXA
Are we talking about a different axa?

and
https://www.challenges.fr/finance-et-marche/l-ex-patron-d-axa-henri-de-castries-du-groupe-de-bilderberg-au-fonds-americain-general-atlantic_498965
so he is the retired CEO. So, let's take it from the start. First you said "owner of blockstream and ceo of AXA", this was later changed to " just ceo of axa" and then essentially revised to "ex-ceo of axa"... Advice, learn your facts better next time.
Look, obviously there is some connection. Who knows, maybe the ex and new ceo are best buddies. And definitely old capital tries to get its hand on bitcoin for profit. Hooray, you wanted decentralization right? That's how it looks like. However, blockstream isn't bitcoin! There are some good numbers here,
Yeah /r/bitcoin is not the most non-biased source but you can't challenge github :)
