Petter Todd saying that drivechain is sh*t - is so farsighted. Petter Todd saying that Bitcoin should have had a 0.1% or 1% monetary inflation tax to pay for security - is so myopic.
Same person... :))
Mixing drivechain crap or b-cash bigblockers crap with the obvious lack of free market between active and passive users in post-subsidy era - is such a cheap ploy that its imbecility is simply breathtaking (vide: comments in #244441)
"Four legs good, two legs bad" :))
He said that would work if bitcoin dies first. And if bitcoin does it doesnt matter how you change it.

We can add stratumv2, reorg alerts, and several deterrents to miners in case they get bribed to attack the chain.
It's just adversarial thinking. Think about the idea, not the person.
