I hope you guys dont mind, but I'd like to help iron things out a bit. Of course, if I am incorrect in any place please let me know. Adam is the host of the first of a growing media network called "Let's Talk Bitcoin". He literally did what most people are not willing to do and put his ass on the line to establish his network from the ground up. This takes balls. He gets the highest of regard from me.
However we are in a place that is no longer as cut and dry as "hey we can store data on a decentralized blockchain instead of using centralized servers". I know you guys wouldn't believe it, but the things he has said on here actually are pretty solid. He gives very good advice and has the ears (which I am sure he uses) of other very brilliant engineers in the field. He is also trying to incorporate new tech into his network everywhere he can...so some of the criticisms are legit in my opinion.
Where I think we run into a problem is that with Adam, it seems like he has a healthy dose of idealism (why I personally love his show) that still can sometimes make less tech-centered minds smash heads with those who are on the engineering side of things. I trust Adams intentions just like I trust Bytemasters. They obviously consider two slightly different paths as being necessary with respect to the roll-out of this.
However, I think most of the "disruptive" "FUD" he puts on this forum is with regard to outreach and teaching the community--which is not FUD at all. THIS IS IMPORTANT and is why I am trying to build something behind the scenes (and learn everything needed to appropriately help others understand).
When I heard Brian say in his latest interview that they would be getting real shark tanks and filling them with actual sharks I couldn't help but think..."why the hell would they prioritize this ahead of teaching people about the very basics of their technology?". I think it is precisely decisions like this that make one question the focus of investment of AGS funds given by the community.
With that said, I want to take the opportunity to thank you Adam for all you have done for the crypto community. It does not go unnoticed by many of us here on the forums and for those who do not understand, I hope they will realize your intention is to HELP the community and not spread "FUD".
On another note, I have to say that consensus technology...from what I have learned, does not necessarily need to rely solely on mining to remain decentralized. We are still in the nose-bleeding edge of this tech and the entire community of devs will eventually come to a consensus on what way is best to move forward. Big changes will be necessary for ALL of the teams working in this area if they are to continue to exist as huge leaps in tech will be unavoidable.
With that said, holding Invictus to a particular avenue is unnecessary as they will be forced to change. I do, however, and always will have concerns for centralization of this power (precisely why I fear the "one-blockchain to rule them all of ethereum). Thanks for DACIndex.com, and please keep throwing "FUD" because it all keeps us honest with ourselves and reminds us we didn't get into crypto to make a more sophisticated version of the Debt and Death Paradigm we currently have today, but to fundamentally change the reward systems upon which we base all human interaction.
This is important...
As for Bytemaster...thanks for doing your best to help the initial investors as you move forward with changes that need to be made. This will NOT ALWAYS BE POSSIBLE, but the fact that you do it when you can makes me realize where your intentions are and that makes me continue to be a long-term holder. It also makes me realize you listen to the community. I distinctly remember positing the very idea of making sure all changes benefit PTS holders as opposed to hurting their bottom line very early on in the forums--you said you would take it into consideration, and obviously did).
Now lets stop bickering, realize we will all have our differences and come to a consensus on one thing--How Crypto-Equities can lift the world out of poverty and debt-slavery!
*Amen*
