Slack Conversation I believe should be read on here.
(There are many important conversations within slack community which you shouldn't miss)
wvbitcoinboy:"If the white paper gets rewritten, I'm probably giving up on Bitcoin as it will finally be a "failed" project. I hope Nexus can take its place and doesn't get bastardized if and when @videlicet allows other developers to commit changes. I feel Bitcoin has been totally hijacked. First block size limits to promote Blockstream, now a white paper rewrite because it's getting "outdated?" This is an outrage. I wish Satoshi would have left a backdoor to kick every developer out of they did this shit. :/ Sorry, I am angry and ranting because I'm sick of Blockstream basically screwing up the best thing the world has ever seen."
videlicet( Colin Cantrell):"Yeah it's becoming more centralized what I wrote about in my article decentralize decentralization
"With no checks and balances this will further deem the control into fewer and fewer hands as more people contribute resources in the form of investments, computational resources, and developmental innovation. This is what has allowed governments in the centralized systems to further centralize the power to be of benefit to only their own needs rather than the needs of the whole of their people.
Decentralized systems such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dash, MaidSafe, Ripple, and many others will compound this problem as adoption rate increases whether from inner industry adoption (Bitcoin investors) or real world adoption (New Investors). This will also further promote their own centralized desire no matter the extent of their belief in decentralization, for the greater the personal benefit to these pooled governors the greater their desire to portray the image of decentralization for their greater benefit.""
