running a node doesn't give you expertise on how to engineer the system, why should anyone listen to you?
Discussion
Who’s telling anyone to listen to me? Am I not allowed to have an opinion unless I’m a technical engineer? Are his saying Bitcoiners only matter if they wrote code?
you can have an opinion but the value of your opinion will be basically zero unless you have put in the work like everyone else
That’s a pretty fiat mentality.
you must be new, this has been bitcoins culture since day 1
"I deserve attention even though I haven't put in the work" is fiat mentality. bitcoin is built on proof of work.
Now you sound emotional. Who’s looking for attention? I voiced an opinion and you got triggered because apparently I’m not worthy.
Just so I don’t get out of line, please let me know what the hierarchical order is when it comes to voicing an opinion. I guess all bitcoiners need to know their place.
You’re talking to a person with the emotional intelligence of a 5 year old who happened to learn how to write code. Don’t expect too much from him.
> bitcoin is built on proof of work.
I thought it was proof of leeching cheap electricity.

I’m not new. And why does that even matter? That’s literally the attitude most of us are trying to get away from.
Thanks for allowing me to have an opinion. And thanks for letting me know that unless you contribute code your opinion has no value. #plebs
“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”
Node runners opinions should be listen bc they are the ones running the SW. Technical expertise is useless if no one will run your code. Bitcoin is a project for and to humanity, and that is the current problem with Core, this same feeling that they know better and that they don't have to listen to anyone and even mock them. Funny bc someone like Luke, Jimmy Song and others do know how to engineer the system and still Core doesn't care.
