Julian Zawistowski(@julianzawist):Hey people, this is getting out of hand. I have a kind request to Ethereum core devs. Guys, I do appreciate your work. You have tons of legitimacy and a lot of love from Ethereum community. But please, instead of fighting a war you cannot win, do what you are best at: use your brains to either make a point that this EIP is going to work (I still have not seen convincing arguments it will not make things worse) or propose alternative solutions. The problem is not issuance. The problem is concentration under economies of scale. You have to address this specific problem and convince real people this is going to work.
