I have serious concerns with this framing.

The legal argument doesn’t hold up. Node operators aren’t liable for encrypted data they didn’t create and can’t access. ISPs, CDNs, and Tor nodes have legal precedent here. What makes Bitcoin nodes different?

CSAM has likely already been encoded in the blockchain for years through various methods. If this is truly an insta kill for adoption, why hasn’t it already happened?

If Bitcoin can be killed by one attacker sending one instance of illegal content, then it was never antifragile. This argument concedes Bitcoin can’t survive adversarial use, which undermines the entire value proposition.

And switch pools NOW but obviously I prefer OCEAN? That undercuts this being about Bitcoin’s survival rather than pool market share.

If I’m missing something in the legal or technical analysis, I genuinely want to understand it

It bugs me that this weak argument is what is leaned on so much rather than the clear disregard for stewardship from the core team.

But then as far as I'm concerned it's not Core vs Knots, it's Core vs everyone and Knots just happened to be there as the main alternative.
