Kevin's Bacon on Nostr: I'm starting to get the sense that Peter Todd and Jameson Lopp are philosophically ...
I'm starting to get the sense that Peter Todd and Jameson Lopp are philosophically and economically illiterate. Is it true that Peter wanted tail emissions? I used to think that was potentially a better policy too, up until quite recently, until I realized some things, quite a few points, as to why it would weaken Bitcoin if embraced and is completely unnecessary. They're rather shortsighted if they think they can see everything. It took me a long time to figure out the economics of tail emissions vs no tail emissions to where I understood the tradeoffs.
