Bitcoin has been so wrapped up in this 'civil war' that we seem to have lost sight of the real enemy:
Central Banks, Federal Reserve and their artificial inflation and fractional reserve lending. A dollar bill is just a voucher of debt.
Read the first page of Satoshi's Whitepaper again. What does that exactly mean to you? Do your research, pick which side is in line with your idea of what you think Bitcoin should be. Honestly, if you just own Bitcoin and aren't a dev or someone with money invested into a team, you should hope both sides do great work. Competition in development just puts the eggs into two baskets. Whichever side gets the hashpower is a win for the currency at the end of the day.
Now that SegWit is getting activated, the big blockers will fork off, and the miners will vote (just how Bitcoin was designed to work), the community needs to focus their energy on writing great code, and promoting Bitcoin as a currency. We are all ambassadors of Bitcoin. And we have all been letting the team down with this public debate. Every attack we make against each other impedes forward motion towards these goals. Can you imagine the progress we could make once we all realise we have a common enemy?
If you think this war has been brutal, wait until the Central Banks realise we are a serious threat to them. We aint seen nothin' yet.
Forget about petty issues. Let's focus on the big picture again. If you're a big blocker look at the ideas and implementations, not the people. If you're a Core supporter do the same. The more energy you waste trying to slur the opposition is energy wasted on preparing for the real fight that is to come.
Let's make Bitcoin great again :)
Let's not forget charts too. Central banks in a way love bitcoin. Never before all transactions are being stored in a ledger, for everyone to see.
