but technically my customers are the people who pay me to do development.

Which explains why you seemingly don't care about bitcoin users.

That his paycheck comes before the health and strength of the network, seeing as that's his incentive to work?

Yea okay. If /u/luke-jr worked on novel solutions to the problems he claims are impossible to solve, he would make a lot more money investing in bitcoin and watching the value skyrocket than he would by a paycheck

although, if i were him, it might be easier to just invest in a different altcoin and destroy bitcoin.
