this is the main reason behind the attack on core and bitcoin:

I believe that the EU with their right-to-be-forgotten legislation have made blockchains effectively illegal.
maybe but the financial benefits of allowing this kind of business is too great for them to exploit it that way. they might try to nationalize blockchains though, but that would be impossible to do to bitcoin.
Oh, so this could just be about miners that are trying to gain control over governance. Interesting point
i don't think it's miners. i think it's shitcoiners like ethereum, avalanche, polkadot, etc
Can you expand on your ideas of who will be providing a UASF and what the risk of it is?
segwit was a trojan horse that opened the gates to spam, this was an effect that was not expected by anyone at the time.
since core devs are a major cohort in the BIP process, they are one of the groups that has to be subverted also. so, we have two things going on here:
- make small node runners nervous to run nodes, so they won't be part of the UASF
- subvert the standards organisation that defines the bitcoin protocol, to inject a maliciously crafted upgrade
probably they are also part of why the numbers of node runners is increasing as well, in addition to more people getting onboard with the knots and running a node when maybe (like me) they stopped running one.
i'm gonna resurrect my node and put it online soon because i can see what they are preparing for here.
this is an attempt to turn bitcoin into ethereum, and when i look around at the big names in bitcoin dev, a lot of them are suspect as well, and liable to be able to be induced into cooperating.
even the attack they are doing on small node runners is exploiting otherwise disinterested people who are prone to trolling, to join in for the fun of a pile-on. like damus dev Will, who is chanting the core mantras vigorously, but i doubt that he realises they are exploiting his hipster jerk personality.
