100 sats \ 1 reply \ @Scoresby OP 10h \ parent \ on: Consensus rules are enough for Bitcoin to succeed or Bitcoin fails bitcoin
There's a really great line in Lord of the Rings about Sauron and the ring:
He is in great fear, not knowing what mighty one may suddenly appear, wielding the Ring, and assailing him with war, seeking to cast him down and take his place. That we should wish to cast him down and have no one in his place is not a thought that occurs to his mind. That we should try to destroy the Ring itself has not yet entered into his darkest dream.
It works so well with Bitcoin I used a variation of it on a poster:
Thanks for the insights you shared. It's because of things like this that Bitcoin is endlessly captivating to me.

Of course, and likewise - it's imho always good to talk about these things in an outsider setting rather than trying to convince the insiders that their ways are flawed - as long as it's not in some closed, transient, discord.
