In everybody's defense, that's one pretty freaking big "gotcha".

I don't agree, but you're free to have your opinion.

I'll agree with that, but the beauty of being decentralized is that they'll have nobody to go after

You're the one being disingenuous. (Note the correct spelling of the word you misspelled. I keep hoping those smart pills you said you take will kick in soon.)

Wiki is there a better board to have discussions on the technology other than the Money Talk board?

I really don't understand the correlation between Ethereum and the price drop o. a non-exchange.

Wiki is just hurt because josh has gone on record saying wiki is not part of the bitcoin community.

The other day BennyAndTheInkJets used they wrong from of "their/there/they're" in a thread. I noticed you didn't call him out on it. But you always do it when someone you dislike makes a spelling or grammar error. Why is that?

Whenever there is big news on bitcoin, the OT has surprisingly had some great threads. But they get a little tired of bitcoin threads every day.

Outside of TD, just try reddit and bitcointalk.org

Send him your email. Y'all can meet up for crumpets and tea. Should be easy to find a place that will take bitcoin. Might have to meet in Seattle somewhere but that's still convenient.

I like r/bitcoin but it isn't easy to discuss the technical aspects there

Because Benny is intelligent and, therefore, when he does it, it's just a typo.

When you or josh does it, it's because you don't know any better.

Just look at how joshiepoo tried to spell 'disingenuous.' He fricked it up so bad I had to read it out loud phonetically just to figure out what word he thought he was using.

I've been waiting all this time for just one person to agree with me and tell me I'm beautiful. It's a great day.

So in other words, if someone fricks you, well, your just fricked.

Do you really have difficulty understanding the appealing aspects of decentralization or are you just trolling?

Right, I don't actually know the difference between "to" and "too" so thanks for clearing that up for me.

That's not the case. It's just that our answers will probably not resonate with you.

But to give you an answer, decentralization is preferred because:

-decentralized systems are censorship resistant
-decentralized systems are shutdown resistant
-decentralized systems operate on a consensus model
-decentralized systems are not controlled by an individual, group or government that may have a certain agenda



Do those reasons suffice?
