> Do you know the reason behind the change in Core V30?
I do. Both the public reason, the speculations and the outright conspiracies.
Discussion
What are the reasons? the public one and speculations
1. non commercial shit wants to happen on bitcoin
2. we have filters to discourage it
3. people work around filters and do more damage than if we just let it happen.
4. we relax filters
5. shit happens which is less damaging than #3
^^ official.
The speculations are around core being captured by interests which want the relaxation.
and of course following this with all the non relayable shit which get into blocks anyway because of direct miner APIs.
I suggest you read the article below and watch the video.
I'm already aware, that was my "interests" comment.
You can decide for yourself.
Just wanted to know your view.
to be clear here, my issue is not the debate on this topic (which is valid)
it's the pearl clutching and emotional manipulation by Luke.
Well, my issue lately was all manipulations and gaslighting by Core.
It didn't make sense at first but now its cristal clear.
At the discussion of this change on Github they censored opinions of Bitcoin contributors just for mentioning Citrea ... which was super strange for a Freedom project.
And then all the manipulative technical shit mixed with gaslightning and even attacking the Bitcoin Culture and Values.
I agree, core handled the entire thing really badly regardless of intent.
Yes but then the intent is the key here.
If you are fine with Ordinals and Runes and Bitcoin turning in something like Ethereum is fine.
To me, Ethereum is a shitcoin, and the below is spam
This is Bitcoin to me - Decentralized Freedom Money.
How do you feel about monetary L2's ?
What about (if different) non monetary L2's ?
Lightning is superb technology, small fast payments are needed. Bitcoin is Money.
For non monetary on L2 ... not terrible not great.
But I read BIPs 300/301 for bridging shitcoins I don't like that at all.
Bitcoin is Bitcoin, the only decentralized freedom money and should not introduce shitcoins.
Speaking of bad intents, forgot to add that
This is spammers business model.
You can pay now to add text to Bitcoin, to stay there forever.
You can notice it is limited to 80 Bytes because filters work.
Next it will be 100KB - images and what not bloat and spam
