I think knots is goofy, i don’t see it as a threat unless they somehow convince everyone to hardfork, but i would hope people would be smarter than that.

I’ve always said the biggest threat to bitcoin is a cultural one: if we don’t pass down our values to future generations, they might not understand what the problem was or how bitcoin fixed it. So it could be taken for granted and ruined without anyone to stand up in its defense.
