47:06 "someone will write the fork..." Yeah, that's your pal Jameson Lopp. Already wrote a BIP for it, and I've seen you defending it. And then you go on to say at 48:27 the fork with less supply (i.e. what you Lopp and other devs are advocating for) will win. On the path you want Bitcoin to go down, forks become a way to manipulate the Bitcoin supply and then "let the market decide" which one to follow. In your own words "that million and a half bitcoin are about to be on the market, whether immediately or over the next however many years, depressing the price over however many years. I do not buy for a second that argument doesn't win." Your argument for seizing Satoshi's coins boils down to fiat number go up so people will be ok with it. The slippery slope this creates is absolutely unacceptable. The prospect of the coins going to a quantum research team is much more acceptable then setting the precedent that devs can manipulate the available supply in any way.
