LET US HELP BITCOIN
Guys we as a community has been around for a long time and we have stuck together and have been in this for a long time and helped each other to be able to make our decisions in life without the authorities telling us what to do and what not to do. We have made choices to enhance our physiques by using performance enhancing products ( which were banned by the authorities due to their vested reasons/interests). We stuck together and found ways to do what we loved to do and helped each other on boards when someone needed help and guidance. This community grew strong and even after the ban of our much needed meds we were able to continue due to these boards and being more close knit. We believe in freedom of speech and freedom of our choices.
Today i have come to make some of you who do not know aware of another issue which we are not directly but indirectly involved with. This issue is about bitcoin and the revolution of bitcoin which has similarities with our goals and our choices. Bitcoin was made to be a currency or store of value ( or whatever you may call it). Initially it was embraced by the darknet community and now it has become a world wide phenomenon. Its growth and its acceptance has been anything short of amazing. Mainly because of its anti status quo characteristics. For example of it having the capabilities of distributed ledger of being trust less of being hack proof and of being decentralized. These are amazing concepts because of this it has become a world phenomenon.
But recently we have seen some attacks on bitcoin by some people who want to control the network and these attacks have been ongoing since the middle of last year. The issue with bitcoin has been scaling. And some people wanted to make changes to its protocol to make it faster at the same time making maybe compromising on its security aspects. One group wanted faster or immediate adaption of newer protocols for scaling while other group wanted slower and surer scaling ( by testing thoroughly before jumping to these new scaling protocols). Hence we saw the NYA ( new york agreement) signed sometimes in June of 2017 by a group of people to go with segwit and the birth of bitcoin cash. The same group planned the segwit2x adaption which was a very contentious fork attempted by naming segwit2x as the Main bitcoin and hijacking the name of bitcoin. But once these people found that there was a lot of resistance to this they dropped the idea and planned to attack bitcoin other ways. Now these same people claim that bitcoin cash is the original bitcoin and the original bitcoin is not the bitcoin which satoshi nakamoto envisaged. They want to hijack the name of bitcoin again but in a different manner. They have deep pockets and using their new found billionaire status thanks to original bitcoin by hijacking bitcoin. We as a community need to understand that decentralization is of utmost importance to us and that without this all of the crypos are meaningless and no better than Fiat. If 2-3 people can change the course of a coin than what is the difference between them and our governments who have shackled us for centuries by making rules for us and binding us follow these rules ( Our mutual interests are the prime example of this). So I think it is our duty to support decentralization and not to support centralization. 2-3 people cannot tell us what to do and what not to do. These people are spreading FUD by their marketing and other tactics to lure people to abandon bitcoin and use their centralized coin by hijacking bitcoin name through marketing and other tactics. They are trying to use immortal tactics with the collaboration of other companies like Bitmain and coinbase to take over bitcoin and make it centralized.
We need to do our best to stop this from happening by providing awareness and making people aware of their motives and also to make some changes ourselves to help bitcoin survive and continue with its journey to liberate this world from the status quo and make the world more equitable.
Here is what I think we need to do ourselves. To spread the word about bitcoin. They try to attack bitcoin sometimes with invalid or empty transactions in the process making the mempool congested and thus delaying our transaction processing for hours even for a couple of days or their rejection all together. At present bitcoin can cross this test of scaling problem easily if we all start using segwit addresses to do our bitcoin transactions. So in effect we need to start using exchanges which are segwit compliant ( coinbase is not doing so)and also to use desktop or hard wallets which are segwit compliant. If we all can do this than there will not be any congestion of the mempool and hence their main point of bitcoin being slow and not effective now will become invalid.
So from today I will be using segwit addresses and I would encourage my customers to do the same. Let us all stand together for decentralization and to support the original bitcoin
I will also request our fellow sources do please transact using segwit and request customers to do the same.
