People used to talk about "losing sleep thinking about BTC all the time", and it wasn't just about money.
We wanted to set people free.
In 2010/2011 Bitcoin was really exciting!
Are you excited now about the Bitcoin project/economy?
Why or why not?
my excitement was definetly highest up until 2013.. but now its started to wain.
even though i have loads of bitcoin, im not even worried or care about the short term spikes or drops. i se the long term future of bitcoin and so the short term price drama means nothing to me anymore.
instead my emotions are more concerned with the whole corporate control of blockstream and classic.
i wish that there was no control and instead EVERY bitcoin user had all the featres and excess capacity buffer so that every implementation can work together seamlessly without contention and without being so close to the edge that it needs radicals to move people in one direction or another.
EG bitcoin was making 500k blocks in 2013 and no one was crying about capacity risks of 1mb because they all know 1mb was just a buffer for potential future growth. the same mindset should exist today. 2mb+segwit should allow both real capacity potential due to a buffer higher than demand. and also allowing the features to be used by choice rather than force.
