I can make this very simple.

If you disagree with me in fees and don’t believe that bitcoin should be under a thousandth of a cent per transaction, then you shouldn’t be working with me, you should be working for me, you shouldn’t be working with Bitcoin Association, you should be working on bitcoin. You shouldn’t be working at nChain. You shouldn’t be working at TAAL.

If you think that fees should be higher, the honest truth is that you don’t believe in bitcoin no matter what you say. If you argue for a fee market and try and development, you are not arguing for free markets and freedom but rather for a controlled centralised system. Sorry, if that is the case go to BTC. Go to Ethereum. But just leave.

I don’t really feel like fighting people any more on these issues. If you don’t like it, go. I’m not going to put up with people telling me that fees need to be higher. By the end of this year I want to see the default nodes setting not at any of the current rates but at 1 SAT.

I want people to stop over engineering everything and understand that bitcoin is a transaction system for micro payments. It does a lot more because of the scripting engine but the foundation is very simple. Very low-cost secure transactions.

If you want to argue attacks… Go away I don’t want to work with you. If you want to tell me how wrong in charging too much… Go away I don’t want to work with you. If you want to tell me how fees need to be higher… Go away I don’t want you in my life… I don’t want to work with you… I don’t want to talk to you… I don’t want to deal with you.

The only people I want to deal with from now on will understand very simply the bitcoin is a digital cash system that will deliver micro payments.

If you don’t like this, if you don’t agree with me, if you’re not 100% engaged in both scaling bitcoin and keeping the fees low and getting the lower and having “a race to the bottom” that forces fees to be so low that nothing else can compete…

I want nothing to do with you.

I’ve had too much to do with too many toxic people. That’s going to change. I don’t care if you like bitcoin. I’m just going to make it so inexpensive that nobody will consider using anything else. I don’t care about all these arguments about raspberry pi’s. I didn’t invent bitcoin to be run on raspberry pi’s and mums basement a delivered a system that was designed to scale the bigger than Visa and as I originally said that will end in server farms.

- My vision is a system that scales to billions of transactions a second.
- My vision is a system open to anyone globally.
- My vision is a system that costs no more than 1000th of a cent for a standard 250byte transaction no matter where you are in the world no matter what you’re doing.
- My vision is for a system that is completely traceable and able to work within the existing legal structures.

If this is not your vision… You should not have used and should not be on bitcoin.

I want anybody to be able to use bitcoin and to have access to digital cash. I want anybody on this earth no matter how poor, no matter how isolated and no matter how disenfranchised to be able to have money and use it because of bitcoin.

Bitcoin does not bank the unbanked. It gives them access to cash. Bitcoin is not about removing banks. Bitcoin is about developing a robust infrastructure to deliver digital cash globally.

When I say that I’m not going to put up with people who have a different vision, I mean it implicitly. I’ve had too much time having to work with people even in my own organisations with different agendas. This ends.

If you don’t want to scale bitcoin and to do this as a primary goal, move on. I will say right now that I will not work with a person who does not have this as their vision.

if you think that somebody spamming the network or sending millions of one sat transactions is a problem, find a new job
