All the good minds and cryptographers have left Bitcoin. What remains is an empty echo chamber.
Truth is these problems start with lack of vision and long-term roadmap, not with the processes themselves.
And the Bitcoin Core monopoly created this situation; one coin, one client, one vision. And the inevitable infighting for ultimate power.
Amir,
I read your missive and I couldn't agree more. You've nailed it exactly.
But Bitcoin is alive and well and waiting for you. It's called Bitcoin Cash and it was created to preserve the values of the original Bitcoin project when we saw Bitcoin proceeding down the path you just described.
Here you will find the Bitcoin project continuing apace towards an aggressive long term vision. We have good talent working on privacy and scaling, we have uncensored forums, we have multiple client implementations, and we have a set of shared common visions. Most of the most toxic personalities have left or been driven out of our community. No group is perfect but I think you'll find that the BCH community has addressed the issues you just described and is stronger for it.
Really if we want to go down this route, there should be a long period of self reflection about where the problems began rather than patching some process and moving on.
Amir, the problems began when a group took control of Bitcoin development and the Bitcoin user community.
There isn't any going back for BTC. Fortunately, there's no need to "save" BTC when a functional Bitcoin project is sitting right here in front of you in the form of BCH.
Bitcoin was faced with a choice of upgrades in 2017. Looking back, wasn't BCH the upgrade you really wanted? So upgrade. We're here waiting for you.

At 18:08 in video, Amir Taaki briefly touches on that 100k ring signatures is "far too low" but then doesn't explain why that's the case, wondering if anyone here with technical knowledge knows why he would say that?

Gavin has a darker side that the wider community is oblivious to.
In this case he might have been blatantly conspiring to legitimize his position, or he might have been desperate to believe anything that could let him reclaim his glory.
People think something big has happened. Gavin has always been incompetent, with nothing inherently special to keep him in power. He tried to push me out of Bitcoin development by blocking me in the early days (which is why I went and first forked with you Freecoin, then created libbitcoin), and later making secret character assassinations about me behind closed doors.
Unfortunately people are blind to fake smiles and false words. Have you ever seen someone who likes power through insecurity, lack of vision and wanting to play with the big guys? Then you have a young punk with vision who doesn't respect the rules and wants to poison the well with anarchist ideology. That's how Cody calls it - the banality of evil.
This was during the time when Bitcoin Corporate was at its peak, and there was a prevailing slave sentiment throughout the community of kowtowing to power.
Finally there is hope for Bitcoin. I am very happy that Peter Todd is now in charge, and these guys have been exposed for what they are.
Don't forget Charlie Shrem was their darling boy for the longest time, and their main negotiator with Duh System!! Yet when he was accused (not charged or anything), they quickly swept him under the rug and denounced him hard. It was me and Cody who showed him our solidarity.
They are not ethical people. They have a kind of public morality not based on virtue but on purely consequence in their Machievallian worldview. It's the anti-thesis of our purely virtue ethical action against power regardless of if we win or not. Because as Cody says - we enjoy the fight.
Post #2:
I'm just ensuring that Gavin's destruction is utter and final. It's strictly business.
We want to see this symbol to die a violent death. And Gavin was the peak of all that.
Bitcoin is now gripped by a pessimism and anxiety. The corporations and power failed them. With their triumphalism, Bitcoin reached its end-point and the illusion manifest as... emptiness.
Lost and hopeless, lacking vision and ideology, everything naturally imploded.
What happens now in this power vacuum?
What is the next stage?
See the BBC's rhetorical front page article "Is Bitcoin Still Relevant?".
Bitcoin is now a tech lacking destiny & purpose.

This subreddit is a place to discuss the intersection between blockchain and the radical Left. This is meant to be a space for leftists to explore the use of decentralized technologies like blockchain for praxis and maybe as well for crypto nerds who are interested in radical left (ie, anti-capitalist) politics.
