On the ETC Discord, folks say that I have never been responding to objections these days, and that every one I do is insult on social media.
That is true and because of this:
1. Brandolini’s legislation [1]: The quantity of vitality required to refute nonsense about ETC is an order of magnitude better than to provide it.
It is wonderful that I am lastly seeing even small YouTubers perceive ETC ideas and historical past, after years of making an attempt to right the numerous misconceptions available in the market, however on this Discord there are nonetheless OGs and ‘specialists’ nonetheless entertaining concepts such because the Ministry of Finance; ETC hash; that small miners “deserve” to mine in GPUs; that Charles is a few form of GOD “as a result of the Cardano quantity goes up” though he failed ETC a number of instances; and that builders “deserve” to be paid as if ETC have been a enterprise enterprise and never an open supply POW blockchain.
I’ve made my determination, I am proper, I am uninterested in educating the numerous idiots on this Discord, they’re incorrect, so I’ve little or no want to ‘debate’ with them anymore.
2. The overwhelming majority of ETC OGs and “specialists” are fiat and company thinkers, though they’ve been with ETC since 2016.
They nonetheless do not get it.
So their concepts and openness to debate dangerous modifications in ETC will not be actually ‘openness’ and ‘clever debate’, however a safety complete within the ETC community. Due to this fact, their willingness to entertain the dangerous concepts, and to welcome the worst attackers in ETC’s historical past, is in itself an assault on ETC.
And assaults on ETC need to be rejected in essentially the most aggressive and forceful method, together with what many name “poisonous” conduct. [2] as a result of the supposed toxicity is definitely the ONLY technique to reject such assaults. That is the character of decentralized techniques. If etiquette and enterprise manners have been the norm, then these with cash and tutorial and diplomatic expertise would win, whatever the disastrous penalties of their proposals.
