Oh I fully accept that Puritans exist. Such views have been a thing for centuries. Being a Puritan isn't retarded in and of itself. Thinking that your tiny Puritan cult can exert enough power to change the Bitcoin protocol is the retarded delusion. I realize nothing I say will change those folks' minds, so I'm just going to have fun accurately predicting the future so that I can refer back to my prognostications when they fail.
