@Melt_Dem " "decentralization." it's about security, privacy, censorship resistance" Says who?

6/ a "decentralized" system, as many users of the word envision, would provide for:
a. participation (anyone can join or leave)
b. diversity (doesn't allow for discrimination)
c. efficiency (resource consumption)
d. conflict resolution (ensuring consensus)

I'm working on a blog post about scalable asset transfer via single-use-seals.
If this gets 100 retweets I'll rewrite it to explain how Bitcoin can take on Ethereum with single-use-seals by making Cryptokitties scale.
Bitcoin doesn't care if you're the CEO of a billion dollar unicorn or a teenage whiz kid in your mother's basement. Contributions are welcome and will be judged by their merit.
Whenever BCH is about to pump, expect @jihadwu to post "diplomatic" tweets towards other cryptos (but promoting BCH) while bitcoindotcom publishes outright fake news propaganda, and random nobodies on Twitter start to troll about mempool crap on BTC and such.
