Great rant by Giacomo! Everyone who has a position on BIP-110 should listen (both sides) personally I agree with 99.99% of what he said, but I'm supportive of BIP-110 for the sake of reminding the Core devs they don't decide what Bitcoin is and does. I look forward to competing node software fighting for market share by providing a stable product that is most aligned with users desires.

    Monarchy's: I feel like you guys arrived at where I generally fall. They can work in small kingdoms with good monarchs but generally are bad news. Many Kings will thing long term: like "how can I extract maximum power and money from my people in the long term." Long term thinking isn't always better. It's finding the appropriate priority between long-term and short-term that is needed. Democracy is the best bad form of government we've found. To answer the Question of the week, I usually download as I que a few podcasts to listen to.
