Core VS Knots, it’s destroying Bitcoin:

This debate is showing a great flaw with BTC and crypto in general.

Sure, you can say this debate is just between nerds on something that’s not particularly important anyway.

But it shows an underlying thread that will be pulled on and only get worse.

Apparently MARA is driving the push for Knots. Maybe it’s good, maybe it’s not, I don’t know enough.

But what I do know is that as miners get bigger, and get more control, they’ll want to get more power and stay in control; government sized control.

And if a bunch of nerds can decide to change the code on their whim, and if that bunch of nerds turns into mainly just a few massive miners who control the hash, then the money isn’t immutable, it’s nerd control.

That’s not sound money.
