Q: What do you think of protocols with on-chain voting / governance?
A: I think half of the population has an IQ under 100.
@misterdna That’s odd. Not sure it’s accurate - maybe missing historical data?
@jeffbutts Yes, a digital tulip that can be instantly teleported anywhere in the world without asking anyone’s permission. ðŸ˜

@taidi_ji Bitcoin will be fine - it’s BCH that should be worried.
I’m not sure that the big block / hard fork supporting community is of sufficient size to sustain both BCH & B2X ma… https://t.co/4pHWN1RSbL
@TaylorGerring Worth it.
@ryanxcharles Whoa, deja vu.
@MortuusBestia @Satoshi_N_ @brian_armstrong @spair Bitcoin’s utility is so damaged that the exchange rate is plummeting… oh, wait.
@el33th4xor Correct - it /could/ be poor engineering rather than malice.
@el33th4xor Explain the empty block yesterday that was mined an hour after the previous block…

tdryja Pay no heed to those who define Bitcoin as “the chain with the most work, whatever the rules”, as they are just along for the ride.
Tether must be getting popular. We’re seeing a spike of users mistakenly sending tethers to BTC addresses. pic.twitter.com/YUeMaemfLY
@VinnyLingham No. I choose to take it personally.
@CryptoPietje Sure, though as tends to happen with technology, I expect it to become easier over time.
@gavinandresen @morcosa Core has no authority to stop groups of people from forking off.
4) I’m going to put my money where my mouth is - I look forward to putting my capital to work to maintain this financial superhighway.
3) On an adversarial Lightning Network where spammers try to exhaust channels, well-capitalized users could get paid to rebalance them.
2) Lightning Network will offer a BTC denominated investment a la JoinMarket. Capital invested in maintaining LN channels will gain more BTC
1) Problem with using BTC to invest in things is the investment is invariably denominated in fiat. You risk BTC outperforming an investment.

@polemitis I suspect that most bitcoin holders don’t even know that they are also bcash holders.
