>let layer 2 solutions do scalability
See, here's the thing: this "consensus opinion" was not formed organically, but was the product of tons of top-down censorship in /r/bitcoin (yeah, I know plebbit, but the sub was undeniably a critical venue for discussion at the time) as well as on bitcointalk. Before 2015 the common understanding was that on-chain scaling WOULD happen, but this general understanding was slowly and insidiously eroded by theymos and his cronies, who used aggressive censorship to protect their minority opinion. This sounds outlandish, but I can tell you I was there and saw it happen in real time. If you want to get a better idea of what I'm talking about or just want evidence that I'm not telling you a tall tale, look at this:

One of the KEY issues that the censors targeted was the issue of scaling. Everyone who tried to sound the alarm bells that Lightning Network was garbage was silenced without mercy, but it now turns out that they were right. After years and years of promises that a scaling solution was just "18 months away," LN has been implemented and proven itself to be a giant dumpster-fire. Effectively history has proven the LN naysayers right, but it is a tragedy that we had to waste more than five years and two major forks to figure it out. That tragedy would have been averted if the discussion had played out organically without all the censorship, astroturfing and other bullshit from the small block minority.

>if blocksize started to become a real problem the core devs would just raise it
It's almost like some posters here haven't been around for the last 5 years

Checked. Holy shit is it 1.4 million already?

The coreons have always aligned themselves with the leftist side of the anarchist tradition. "Muh [nonmining] nodes" is just a variation of "muh popular vote," "muh free shit," "muh subsidies for the unproductive," etc.
They are red through and through

Adam stopped. He was smiling that same indifferent smile. Andreas could barely breath. His mind was blank except for the dull background hum of the servers around him.

‘Adam… you’re…’

‘Insane? Are you afraid to say it? What is insane about seizing the opportunity? Bitcoin was always going to be taken over. If we hadn’t done this, somebody else would have.’

‘But Adam, this is wrong,’ Andreas said. ‘This is not why I got into Bitcoin.’

‘Look around you, fool.’ Adam’s eyes were on fire. ‘This is the future of Bitcoin. Satoshi is gone. Few people realize what we’ve done and nobody really cares about them anyways so long as we can keep the price rising.’

‘I’m going to tell the world what has hap….’ Andreas faltered. What would he tell them that they hadn’t already heard and ignored? Hadn’t people been warning him for years? And where was he to be found when he had the chance to talk about it? Wasn’t it too late?

The steps returned, this time coming closer. Adam turned and walked towards them, leaving Andreas standing alone in the dimly lit hall.

Those of us who care about the truth have known about this for a long time. Of course you never read about this shit on plebbit most of that place is controlled by Blockstream and their army of useful idiot dildos.

Imagine being so retarded you think Core was in any way the "genesis" of bitcoin/crypto.
Brainwashed to perfection.

>"whatever happens"
>TFW so desperate for CSW to not be Satoshi you would unironically rather larp that fucking Dorian Nakamoto invented bitcoin.
>>13413960
Lots of money was spent to convince gullible retards that on-chain scaling "doesn't work." So desperate were the enemies of bitcoin, they systematically used propaganda and social games to protect their false, flimsy narrative.

Which program do your use to calculate tax and find all the possible optimizations in how you report it?

>>12677408
Nice slander. Theymos must truely be proud churning out double-plus goodthinking faggots like you with his precious (((narrative)))
>>12677446
Just because the code was written by one person doesn't mean that Satoshi wasn't a team.

I'm an ESFJ so I'm all in in BCore.

>>11726642
Do you even have any idea how CSW helped to ruin BTC and forced VB to create ETH as a separate coin?!

>>11695825
It doesn't. It only reinforces my point democracy doesn't work.

If you have already decided to off yourself, this is actually good advice. Just make sure you do it with a trip sitter or in an area where you will not be disturbed for around 5 hours.
What it boils down to is OP needs to find something to believe in. Something greater than himself. If nothing else, join the right side of the BTC/BCH memewar and use what brief existence you are given to do at least try to stop something legitimately evil like pic related. There are plenty of unironic demons in this world. Embrace the pain, grapple with some of them and try and come out of the other side of your own hero's journey, anon. Godspeed.

Because the "muh bcash" people have the same problem as the "muh Drumpf" people: the construction and maintenance of their entire narrative depends on the existence of a censored safespace (/r/bitcoin/bitcointalk and the Jewish media, respectively) while the bcash deplorables have had their memes forged and refined in the fires of total and uncompromising free information exchange.
Back in 2017 there were those of us who, based on our experience with the 2016 election, predicted that the big block position would take over or at least heavily colonize the chans as the guerilla meme war for the soul of bitcoin intensified. We were right.

There is now a bot in /r/bitcoin that replies to your post and quotes it, but substitutes bcash in for Bitcoin cash and says "Fixed that for you.":
u/BcashBot

Fuck off corecuck and return to your containment chamber in pic related.
