Replying to Avatar walker

most of the comments on youtube are something to the effect of: "SHAME ON YOU, WALKER!! I'M NOT WATCHING THIS!!!"

While you are free to do whatever the fuck you want, I would humbly encourage you to engage with ideas and opinions that are outside of your echo chamber. If you only ever listen to people you agree with, you will never have the opportunity to check your assumptions and critically evaluate your own position.

People who run a different Bitcoin node implementation than you are NOT your enemy, and if you believe they are then you have been misled.

Run whatever node implementation you want, and remember that the true enemy of bitcoin is the state, not your fellow bitcoiner.

Yeah, I watched. He is being disingenuous in his argumentation. But, he knows that. One thing very early on in the interview he says the Knots camp is saying "Can't devs do something?"

This is an obvious mischaracterization because literally the devs are doing something about it that he doesn't like. The Knots devs are using filters and a limited OP_RETURN to "do something"

This is just one of many linguistic slight of hands he does. He is fairly charismatic so it may be difficult to catch if you just take him at his word.

To be fair, he has great takes on security and threat modeling. But as someone who does that as well, it's not far outside the realm of intuitive to those born after 1985. Cybersecurity has become the survivalist skill that has replaced the boyscout knot-tying merit badge. But as far as his takes on Knots vs. Core, it is way more obvious that he gives every benefit of the doubt to Core, while the Knots supporters are all naive little babies with no technical ability. Just not true, some Knots people are autistic too!
