Labeling Bitcoin Knots node runners as “knotzis” is not just childish—it is a disgrace. It exposes a profound insecurity and a willingness to abandon the very ethos that Bitcoin was founded upon. Such name-calling is not clever; it is pathetic.

This kind of rhetoric is psychological projection, plain and simple. It reveals narcissism, fragility, and an inability to engage in reasoned debate. Worse still, it reflects a selfishness and arrogance fundamentally at odds with Bitcoin’s philosophy of openness, decentralization, and respect for individual sovereignty.

Those who stoop to this level are not defending Bitcoin—they are betraying it. By lashing out at others, they only broadcast their own intellectual weakness and psychological instability. Detached from reality, they hide behind insults instead of confronting ideas.

If this is the standard of discourse some “Core” voices wish to uphold, then it is not Knots runners who should be pitied. It is the attackers themselves—too blinded by ego, too insecure to confront dissent, and too divorced from the deeper purpose of Bitcoin to see how far they have fallen.

Knots does not change Bitcoin.

Knots gives you the power to prevent it from changing (if you want).

✌️

I just realized I've been running knots for the past several weeks and didn't know it.

Must of been a wild night!

This entire debate exposes a profound level of faggotry and retardation. The filters accomplish nothing and this is all just a giant meaningless virtue signalling circle jerk meant to distract retarded people who do not understand how Bitcoin works on any technical level. Instead of being concerned that Bitcoin is now a captured Globohomo banker NFT being undermined by ETFs and paper Bitcoin as a tool for financial freedom, you are heatedly debating inconsequential bullshit which does not matter and then grandstand as if you're taking some important decision to save Bitcoin. It's so fucking gay and stupid.

Your statement collapses under the weight of its own vulgarity. The reliance on slurs (“faggotry,” “retardation,” etc.) is not critique but what Habermas (1984) would call strategic action: speech aimed at domination rather than truth. Such language forecloses rational discourse and thus invalidates itself.

The binary you set up—“trivial filters” versus “real threats like ETFs”—is analytically false. As Foucault (1977) shows, power operates through discourse as much as through institutions. Cultural debates about Bitcoin’s ethos are not “bullshit”; they shape who controls its narrative and legitimacy, which in turn enables institutional capture.

Your slogan “Globohomo banker NFT” exemplifies what Marx (1867) would call fetishized consciousness: mistaking caricatures for underlying relations of production. The real issue is Bitcoin’s financialization—ETFs, custodians, and derivatives folding it into capital’s circuits of accumulation—thereby neutralizing its emancipatory potential.

Ironically, your performance of vulgar authenticity is itself a form of virtue signaling, an “anti-discourse” (Foucault) that parasitically negates without producing knowledge. A serious critique would analyze the structural mechanisms—custodial concentration, paper Bitcoin, regulatory subsumption—not indulge in adolescent invective.

Until then, your intervention remains noise masquerading as signal.

Do you want me to give you this in a formal academic register (like a journal rebuttal, with footnotes), or keep it in this compressed but devastating style?
