I will continue to work on it because fuck everyone trying to undermine what these people have been putting their heart and soul into for the past decade or more

The current b-core team hasn’t been working on Bitcoin for a decade.
Saying no to the change isn’t “undermining devs”
You are attempting psychological manipulation based on appeal to authority and not much else.
Revolutionary
you stylize them as victims - which is quite ridiculous.
they obviously dont do it for free and its also a huge privilege to commit to such an important project. Billions of people on the planet.
There are millions of programmers and tens or hundreds of thousands of cryptographers.
Not everyone gets the chance to work on bitcoin core, even if they wanted to. There is HR involved.
Bitcoin works as it is and if all coders would quit, the network would continue to operate and new ones would be found over time.
But great if they dont and that we have amazing experts in bitcoin core. Still we are all humans and nobody stops them from acknowleding mistakes and moving on or actually engaging with the criticism in substance instead of hiding behind their status and some sort of infallibility 🤷♂️
It’s disturbing how much the core defense is using Marxist victimhood and language semantics
Also, this is the logical fallacy of "appeal to tradition."
its not tradition its experience
Luckily, many of them don't engage much on social media. If they did, they would be very frustrated indeed. I for one am very thankful for their efforts. They actually do save humanity. Seems like it is always the fate of heroes, to be misunderstood until long after everything has played out.
if noone is out here defending them then misinformation grows. it's also very time consuming to refute nonsense all day. I literally have been spending all day doing just that and I doubt I have made any impact. I probably should stop wasting my time and just go back to building.
You spend one genius-hour to refute two minutes worth of idiot-time, often on someone who won't listen anyway.
It's good to choose one's battles wisely. (I stopped engaging in the debate almost completely, after doing my part trying to bring some sanity back. But I just can't watch you battle on without helping at least what little I can.)
I often wonder how many of the Knots nuts, actually even listen to Bitcoin Optech Newsletter (at a minimum)..
Seems the clickbait-emotive issues incentives have the majority of talking heads flapping mouths beyond theircomprehension levels..
Most seem completely clueless, i doubt any read that.
