I really want more details about this. Why would Saylor even care one way or the other about *someone else* funding open source devs? Even more so, why would he be *against* it?
It makes no sense to me. I really want to hear the story here š¤š¤ nostr:note1jag3u6rajn5qwgle8x97cuxu6ykrn8764nmjqe4hzgfmmqhjf4tsh6dyqq

He wants to ossify #Bitcoin Core. That would be why.
If that has anything to do with this, then its an incredibly stupid decision and ossification should not at all suggest we need to stop funding open source bitcoin development. Quite the contrary, we should fund them as much or more, simply with a different focus...

I don't know the validity of the claim and I agree with you. Just finding a reason that might make at least a little sense.
I think we all want to hear more. I get heās an ossification guy, but if he sees devs as an attack on his net worth, then it might get rocky when soft fork discussions rev up
Heās been explicit and candid about calling for ossification the past few months. Especially on his latest with Livera, in the middle. But TBF, he does make some good points in favor of ossification. https://youtu.be/_QN0RcQFf6w?si=9Tgvb8W3IqdCDnfN
Thanks, i gotta watch thay. My own off the cuff questions: Did taproot actually help bitcoin? Or did it cause more harm than hurt? Legit question. Calls for ossification are not insane. We all want our corn to be worth something 30 years from now and who knows what upgrades with unknown consequences will be implemented in this time frame.
Can you really not think of a single reason ?
