i never liked core dominance and with its reference on github (just owned by microsoft !). maybe a real leader is missing, as Linus on linux kernel.
Bitcoin Ossification Client (BOC) — Community-Defended, Minimal-Change, Adversary-Hard
https://controlplanecapital.com/p/bitcoin-ossification-client-boc-community
TL;DR
Bitcoin is a fixed-supply, Proof-of-Work-secured, UTXO-validated settlement network that anyone can fully verify on consumer hardware. Its base layer resists censorship by making it costly — not by trusting gatekeepers. Its rules are simple, explicit, and operationally testable. If a change makes sovereignty harder, or hands control to perimeters, it isn't Bitcoin.
Ossify the base. Keep it livable. Adapt through optional layers. That's how Bitcoin survives adversaries who are richer than all of us, and how ordinary people keep the keys to their own money.
Discussion
You and me both. Core's dominance (~80% of nodes) is poison to Bitcoin.
