I would only add that shareholders can easily kick out any malicious committee members by voting.
I also think Bitcoin's consensus is broken. Proof is the blocksize debate and how this has escalated. I don't really like to go into "my coin is better than yours" type of arguments, but we could actually do that in a very short period of time. Even if it's a polemic action and we see unhappy people on the forums, in the end the shareholders vote and if something is approved that means there is consensus, meaning all whining is irrelevant.
Bitcoin is just stuck on an endless loop of useless arguments. The few people that actually decide to take action and go with XT got DDoS'ed and shut down lol the exact opposite of what Bitcoin should be. Once again something that started with good intentions got corrupted by politics and 3rd party interests.
The thing that really got me excited about Bitcoin and why I think it had the potential to be so powerful is because it could end or at least decrease corruption. However it's current methods aren't working. The ones who take initiative are attacked.
It would be just as simple as let people go with XT and see if the majority would adopt or not. If it's forked and now we have 2 "Bitcoins" competing, what's the problem? Are people worried it could take the whole thing down? That only proves it wasn't good enough to begin with.
Bitcoin is corrupted. The community I see on forums is just the worst and they aren't any better than altcoin pumpers and shills. I just see no difference. It has become something way toxic. It wasn't either good enough from the start or maybe it was just too good and people just aren't ready and let corruption get the best of them. Pick one, the end result is the same and at the sight of everyone.
