RE: Watch Stan Larimer answering "your" Q & A "Live" last night!

in #bitshares7 years ago (edited)

We posted a new nugget awhile ago on Nick Szabo as regards a snafu/contradiction he might have made while trying to deny he's Satoshi Nakamoto. Feel free to read it first, as we think it's very interesting development, but do you have a personal opinion on who Satoshi Nakamoto is?

new nugget uncovered...?

Secondly, what is your opinion on block size for bitcoin and whether Satoshi himself would approve a change to how Bitcoin works given it's been really expensive to send/recieve it since 2016. Do you think Eos solves this problem, and talk about security too as bitcoin's high mining fees DOES add a certain level of security to the system it seems.

Sort:  

Fact is that 4 CEO's control what software gets run on Bitcoin and therefore everything about how it works. Bitcoin is only as secure as what the four of them do. All else is coal smoke and mirrors.

All that fine grain "decentralization" on the left of each pie means nothing. It's all about how many slices of pie it takes to get to 51% control.

ok, makes perfect sense, thanks.
However, doesn't answer the question on Eos, how exactly it improves this situation. Isn't Steemit's Steem moving in the direction of centralization, as those large entities able to upvote themselves continue to get larger and larger shares of the reward pool? What is the main thing about Eos that seperates it from bitcoin, in terms of security and privacy and transactions?

Going from 2 to 9 people controlling a crypto isn't really all that inspiring, to us anyway. Juries have hung innocent men on more dispersion than that.

Thanks for participating in the comments, I hope you have also subscribe to make sure you get to be at the next live Q & A @harpooninvestor
