Oof, that's a really bad take. If anything core and CDC both have the same authoritarian "trust the experts" attitude. It's a good analogy, applied inversely to how you just did. 🙄

Bitcoin is money, not a file sharing system. The only people who disagree with this are shitcoiners. They are the only people stupid, venal and high time preference enough to use the best money of all time to trade bored apes or some equally or more retarded use.

To actively enable this sort of degeneracy *completely* discredits the current core maintainers. Fortunately Knots already is 25% of the node count, so we are well on the way to making them obsolete anyway.

The only thing I agree with here is that Bitcoin has a strong immune system. It starts at a cultural level, by me calling you a clown on nostr.

In fairness, I did call out both sides as acting in poor faith. But the sensationalism and end-of-world moral thrashings are definitely skewed from the Knots side, from what I’ve witnessed. People are literally tagging the FBI on X… just wow.

The good news is that you have full control over your own node, which is the beauty of bitcoin. We can all take individual responsibility for what code and settings we run, and it will have zero bearing on bitcoin, and what others choose to run on their nodes will have zero bearing on you.

Unless we’re talking about changes to consensus, this is just performative.

You can’t control what ends up in the chain as a node if miners choose to accept CSAM off band. Consensus changes are not needed to prevent the chain from becoming littered with CSAM in a format that throws plausible deniability out the window. It’s not hard to grasp.

When people reasonably believe the government will put them in jail because they are hosting illegal content on their server guess what will happen. They will stop running nodes. At which point we become centralized and rely on third parties to transact, and all for what?

“Well that’s an unlikely outcome, isn’t it?” Why are we rolling the dice? What is the great benefit?

Again, it’s not hard to see the risk reward balance is off.

Just prune your node? Again, your node is the only thing you can control.
