No, I am not a troll. A troll is someone who's only objective is to get people upset enough to respond. Is that how I'm acting? Is that how you deal with anyone who does not buy into the cult that you have? The word cult is used here because if everyone is a troll outside it, then you can't leave. Maximalism is more of a scam than a cult, I'm coming to realize. And it has some good aspects.

Thanks for the links. The first and third are irrelevant to me, because fuck ethereum (it's as scam), and also I don't believe in the environment scare hype. Bitcoin needs to use energy, it's unavoidable. Any reduction is a compromise in its core purpose.

The second link is a bit strange. Are you criticising the fact that Monero is flexible? It is designed to be; relying on the same trustless blockchain techniques as its coin, in order to update it's protocol. If you're criticizing RandomX, I don't know why. Vitalik (as the article points out) also criticizes ASIC resistant proof of work, so I guess you think alike.

Bitcoin was made to be decentralized by having every one equal, 1 cpu = 1 vote. But ASICS mean centralization, a regular user has no reason to mine bitcoin because they don't have an ASIC. Monero seeks decentralization, by making it difficult to by hardware specific solvers to be better miners than, for instance, your mobile phone.

Did I miss anything? Because I still don't know what you mean (I'm not saying that you're wrong, i literally don't know what you mean and want to).

In case you think I'm trolling, i'd like to point out that it took a while to write this and consider your point. I may sound foolish, but i promise I can troll more efficiently than this. I never troll.

For taking the time to engage with me, I zap you.
