btw i found your post because i'm building a simple nostr client component for my job and i wanted to elaborate the explanation for why the #coretard crowd are wrong. i've been thinking a lot about it and i really don't see how corporations engaged in bitcoin mining would want to get tangled up in arbitrary CP jpegs being uploaded and minting blocks with this trash in it.

this dramatically reduces the incentive of the majority of large miners to support the core position, and it hints at the idea that the backers of the Core Corruption is ethereum types who want to harm the reputation of bitcoin, and/or turn bitcoin into ethereum. neither thing are going to happen, because anyone who wants to participate in the on-chain shitcoin casino can just use ethereum. maliciously manipulating bitcoin to be degraded in reputation is a weak way to promote a shit product, by trying to basically defraud users.
