    Ripple, Stellar, and Altcoins are all a distraction. Bitcoin is way too far ahead. We should be focused on bitcoin and sidechains

        @brian_armstrong Whoa. #BitCoin has first mover and marketing. Compared to some #AltCoins , as a "currency", it's lousy. Sidechains ≠ a fix.

        It's not lousy when you understand that immutability and decentralization are the only thing that matters. It doesn't matter how fast your crapcoin is if someone just rolls back the ledger later.

        Hey 2015! Been awhile. Many of my views have, obviously, shifted since then. Pro Tip: A really good TV series will drop in June called “Mr. Robot”. First season will be amazing. Alright. This telephone booth... I mean... time machine’s getting a bit too warm. Gotta run. 🤙🏻pic.twitter.com/GzZU3nMv7k

        @GoCoinCEO @01101O10 I hope you think paycoin is a scam now. You lost all credibility with those tweets you made in December.

        @brian_armstrong And FAR MORE secured than all of the altocins combined over and over again. BTC hash rate 300,000 X that of LTC. Any Qs?

        @BitfuryGeorge It's shocking that the CEO of a Bitcoin mining company does not understand that SHA256 hash is not comparable to Scrypt hash

        @TheRealMage after doing basic adjustment for the difference you will still get a far more secure network using bit coins.. far more!

        @BitfuryGeorge @TheRealMage That's kind of expected. As Bitcoin's marketcap is 50x that of Litecoin's. So security should be 50x more also.
