Why is it that a bunch of assholes on Twitter could suss what was going on, while so-called Bitcoin companies with major funding were derping it up?

Not that many people really understood Bitcoin consensus. Even now, most people still think miners decide things. It's actually quite a complicated subject. A few years ago, even I at one point thought that if miners decide to hardfork, then that's Bitcoin. Yeah, crazy!

Where do you get this info that most people think miners decide? It's just propaganda, not real. The people believing such are the people dancing to Ver's flute.

I talk to people. People at Bitcoin conferences. Regular Bitcoin users that I meet. It's easy to be confused about this. Trust me. I've spent countless hours trying to convince people that this is not the case. Even had to convince my brother. Not even sure if he's convinced.

Sorry, but you are non-committal on most controversial issues. This would echo into all of your interactions at conferences, etc. You spread the doubt with your own sentiments. Why not take a firm stance and become a real proponent of Bitcoin's purpose and design?

An explanation of Bitcoin’s consensus is a composite of so many different links, I’ve been crystallizing a blog post about it. Here are a few: https://medium.com/@morcos/no2x-full-nodes-889c20100a8d?source=linkShare-1206face71fc-1529497785 … https://hackernoon.com/bitcoin-miners-beware-invalid-blocks-need-not-apply-51c293ee278b …https://www.coindesk.com/opinion-segwit2x-doomed-fail/ …
