What's it mean?

It's a mixture of two german words for "improving" and "worse", maybe something like "impro-worse-ing".

😆

Lol, very efficient use of a word

*Verschlimmbessern* is a German verb that means to make something worse while trying to improve it. It combines *verschlimmern* (to worsen) and *verbessern* (to improve), capturing the idea of an attempt at enhancement that backfires, resulting in a poorer outcome. For example, trying to fix a minor issue but creating a bigger problem in the process.

Now the question is, why is nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc thinking about this word? Does it have to do with endless debates about bitcoin core? Is about the EU? Or many other things that are ongoing currently in parallel…
