@aantonop: Classic? Core? or Ethereum?



Andreas Antonopoulos [12:49 AM] Classic and Core and Ethereum and Unlimited and Litecoin and everything.The idea that there must be only one is a throwback to national moneys and monopolies of the past. We live in a multicurrency world of choice. That also applies to implementations of consensus. We ​can​ have more than one coexist and compete. It's healthy

I for one would not accept Tyronecoin if I was selling him some crack. I'd want something that the majority places a value on.

I think one way you could look at that is that the currency would correspond directly to the value of the person, or the value the person can provide.



I am actually interested in seeing an experiment based around this concept. I am confident, however, that all the value would gravitate to one person's currency, and all the other currencies would be small mediums of exchange for individual people.



That or an entrepreneur would aim to take the largest market share as quick as possible.







I do agree, however, that individual currencies will not be very valuable in the future, and will likely have no place in society.

LegendaryActivity: 2380Merit: 1014 Re: Antonopoulos Supports, "Classic, Core, ETH, Unlimited, Litecoin, & Everything" January 23, 2016, 04:02:10 AM #6 I agree that supporting a variety of reputable digital currencies is a good thing. We need multiple blockchains to mitigate the risks of having a single point of failure in Bitcoin. It's true, Altcoins provide yet another layer of decentralization.



However, Bitcoin is also a "consumer brand" and creating three different variations is going to cause dilution, and make things extremely confusing for exchanges, merchants, pool operators, and end users.



So while part of Antonopoulos' statement is correct, in my mind there can only be one authentic Bitcoin. Supporting both Classic and Core is supporting Bitcoin's ultimate destruction. Follow Yahowah on Twitter: https://twitter.com/YahowahSky

Yes, there will be - even more.



Alternative currencies will become much like webpages are today in terms of valuations. Some will be mere parked pages, others perpetually under construction, some pornographic, all ranges of colors and flavors of complexity. And there will be a few Googles and Facebooks in the bunch as well.



When the people of this planet wake up to the Ponzi scheme that's been perpetrated upon them by the central banks for decades, they won't want US Dollars, Euros, or Yen. The people will demand digital currencies. Yes, there will be - even more.Alternative currencies will become much like webpages are today in terms of valuations.

top 10 of those cracoin can still be loved, since they are quite strong, still i would avoid litecoin, seems to aim only at p&d

Lets just hope things turn out ok and we stay with Core.

This is just his way of not having to choose a camp and with that choice pissing someone off. There's nothing wrong with being neutral but he does it a little too much for my taste. Of course he knows all these different versions of the blocksize solution can't coexist so he's pandering to the entire community.



Well, to be precise, they could coexist but probably only one version of Bitcoin would get the lion's share of adoption and would get to call itself Bitcoin.

I think you're right: A.A. knows this... and I think perhaps he's saying that the market should decide (because it will!) ...but yeah he's

definitely remaining neutral. I don't blame him.

The's not exactly decisive, but some devs have had death threats over their support for a particular flavor of wallet, so he's playing safe and supporting both everything and nothing. He could have stayed silent, or said he was neutral, but now he can say he supported whichever wallet wins after its won.
