This kind of reaction might indicate you don’t really understand bitcoin. Core Team doesn’t control Bitcoin consensus, we have the ability to reject their changes and iteration of the code and use another. Sure it’s an uncomfortable time, but Bitcoin is antifragile and the software was largely complete years ago. We need better support for additional devs

I hear ya. Yeah ... I'm not a coder. There are many, many people esp on this platform who are super technical and way beyond me.

I've run an umbrel node, opened Lightening channels, mined with an old S9 for a bit, I run Knots , I have non-KYC coins, KYC coins, and my life saved in brokerage retirement accounts (mostly MSTR shares, some $IBIT, $FBTC, some $MSTY). I'm just an average guy ... but only 0.1% of the population knows what I know.

You, Luke Dash and Mechanic ... are like the 0.001%.

I might not know Bitcoin well but I understand these new Bitcoin Core DEVs100%. PortlandHODL, bragging he is DDOS attacking Comast ISP customers running Knots ? The $MARA CEO laughing along with him? That transgender DEI hire Core DEV. Shitcoiner Jamison Lopp? Scumbags.

Max Keiser, Adam Back, Michael Saylor .... they're all asleep. BTC Sessions , Jor, Rajat, and his retinue of Canadian idiots attempting to be all snarky/neutral ....

But why are we talking about 8 DEVs at Knots and 6 at Core .... ? Not far from 1 guy at the NYC Federal Reserve.

The very idea on Core30 is insane.

I’m much closer to you than the 0.001% you reference. Despite incentives that discourage it, there will always be overt and covert bad actors in bitcoin. What’s the worst these devs can do? Introduce changes or vulnerabilities that temporarily hurt bitcoin and then…nodes shift to an older or different version, and support is lost. This will continually happen over decades.

My reaction was more in relation to the very strong stance you voiced that you’re “selling everything” as a result. Things aren’t great at the moment, but that seems overblown.

But we also need to fight the bad propaganda. Many people, some seemingly intelligent, leave themselves to be completely brainwashed.

I’m interested in your perspective, if you don’t mind further explaining your statement. Not sure I follow

If you read the core devs perspective (from the ones who want to increse OP_RETURN size to 100KB) and analyze it, it has no technical logic, it makes no sense and mostly is completely false.

But they continually repeat that nonsense and many people fall for that insance propaganda.
