That's a good point if I were forced to make a decision by only listening to Vitalik. But he doesn't strike me as a profiteering salesman trying to get me to sign the dotted line based on just what he says. It's a huge debate that will invent the future so no doubt Bitcoiners will engage in the debate and tell me why Vtalik is wrong about Bitcoin and Proof of Stake. You wouldn't complain to the judge in a courtroom that the lawyer for the other side is biased. That's essentially what some people in this thread are saying. Instead, you'd engage the opposing lawyers arguments and come up with better ones. I'm on the jury, trying to make up my mind.
- fezfight 4y agoThe court compels the lawyers to tell the truth or face consequences, so at the very least, out right blatent lies will be called as such by the other lawyers or the judge. Certainly things will sneak by so you should be weary of whatever is said in court, too. However this interview is PR, not a court.
- michaelwww 4y agoI'll be the judge of that. But seriously, this interview is just one piece of evidence I've been collecting in my crypto folder. Like everyone else except for people who get into the team spirit and join one side or the other. I should just invest in both an forget about it, but that's not my nature.
- fezfight 4y agoI liked your metaphor, by the way. Thank you for engaging!
- michaelwww 4y agoThank you too. I used to love speech and debate in high school where it was about ideas, not emotions
