"Core is too centralized"

So we need to establish a "Bitcoin mint" to oversee the issue and lock down the Bitcoin codebase?

What the actual fuckery is this line of thinking?

Bitcoin core is a group of developers, they can do what they want to their code, we have the option of accepting or rejecting their action, the only reason they are the main implementation is because they have been doing a good job so far. If they started doing some tradeoff people don't agree with, people can just use other or create another implementation.

The fact that they can do what they want is important, as much as the fact that we can choose to use them or something else, compromising one or the other can only lead to total centralization.

The job is strengthening and maintaining the Bitcoin protocol. Not inventing or creating it. #Satoshi #Nakamoto already did that.

Core is clearly not on the same page with Bitcoin or the Bitcoin protocol. The job has never been do what you want and see what you can make.

What they're doing isn't Bitcoin. It's shitcoin. It makes me wonder if they even really know what Bitcoin is or what they're doing.

For example, Bitcoin is low transaction fees. Nothing should have been approved or implemented that compromised that.

Bitcoin is light, tight, robust #fullnodes that almost anyone can run and manage that wants to. Nothing should have been approved or implemented that compromised that.

This isn't my opinion. It's called #Bitcoin and also called the Bitcoin protocol. Hopefully The Bitcoin Mint can help keep Bitcoin and the Bitcoin protocol on track, virtuous, true and pure. Just as it was created.
