Why are we messing with a protocol storing 2 trillion in value with a change that 14% of lawyers say increase legal issues?
I asked 7 lawyers for their thoughts on Knots/Ocean's claims regarding Bitcoin Core v30 creating potential legal issues for node operators.
6 out of 7 don't see it as a practical threat.

14% is probably high, as even that one individual admitted it is basically Ocean vs the rest of the bar.
Also, it isn’t a change to Bitcoin’s protocol rules. It is a node-level policy.
