At the moment none of the following assertions have been proven true, yet are constantly cited as if they have been: * A competitive fee market will develop when the transaction rate becomes constrained by the block size limit * More users of Bitcoin means less decentralization Furthermore, the term "decentralization" is frequently used without being precisely defined in a way that would allow for such proofs to be debated. If there's going to be a debate on those points, then the people presenting points on both sides should take the time to show their work and explain the methodology they used to reach their conclusions. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJVS5BXAAoJECpf2nDq2eYjC3kQAKQ0Jj8r1gjwpl813NiuatjA nwXJ+Zn7E+cS8bYsXbaPK1uUgcSdpi/g2jgW+VuUPlqCaNo08Pbp/O7pG5ady9st o7xJnPxttg7NO3IB7GODCJKK85uBO3dOwPp+pfs8KYCAo5PFTflpeOi4Idbd4w/R +tvLynpSX9LIZTQaJH2KEbrYUibYHZrr8hj0net9lJP8KeqMnCuiesYzjJ4pUXyE zN0SQ1v9QnpltbTVxRu1TdRBMjAxEHTJPg1jsv0hhGqIOQGHdwNavGq7+LJBen4T CvT8ooTmuq0IdihOTttl9ody6Eh0tyGPlbVHiI3c2Emm0HTxz8hN9Rl4lvPgcGdi EUW12h8ailKLg5uJL53Zp1PO6fgl0Z/WCx/zqIKRPg4lJMf5Rk5Ow86xAeIZrsbr d/+cJZEhqzPnObxkxgTIzqtG8NHcg9dhKw1xkGAkVpMXMM7Bzdku8WCntIYU4+xI btQQZlbc5h/S+X9Vcu0rJWmmQp2Q8xeEVGRh4hhA8LZLc1P+1eyESjAMWvsuq+rk Wd1kPopekhOgK0zw2j55Ov+kJXVa2pDFA7TOpcqxbdLU4eauKC4D+YQlTM4qj285 vyRq+c/AwMCPiEhBeEbppgdgwrIQP9fJ7s+2TAHaWICYlTJWkLitUjN9EBwqv3Yp LRBrgV7giz8UIrJr3hQZ =+Qmg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
