Coders want to code.
Discussion
Are you saying they need to justify their funding? Or are just bored?
I don’t know them personally so my thoughts are from my own experience.
If I was a boxer I would want to fight the champ Floyd. If I lost then I would want a rematch.
If I was a golfer I would want a shot at Jack Niclaus and Tiger Woods.
If I was a baker I would want a shot at Martha Stewart.
People want to do what they are good at. It could or could not be something malicious. That is not for me to decide.
As far as the funding goes… it’s hard to put myself in their shoes without knowing their financial situation. Everyone that I personally know that is into Bitcoin doesn’t need the funding. So I would hope that the Devs are fiscally responsible and are in this same camp.

So who are they taking a shot at?
Can you elaborate the question a little more?
Who are the “they” in this scenario?
In your comment you had someone in a profession wanting to go up against the best in that profession, so the coders are wanting to take a shot at *insert legendary coder*. Who is the legendary coder?
Gotcha. Again, I don’t know them so this is all from my brain and not something that I have heard.
It could be a number of people or figures.
Maybe they think Satoshi’s code could be better and want to show that they have the answer.
Maybe they think they have written bad code and want to clean it up.
Maybe they want to help Bitcoin by always being available to write code when needed.
I don’t like all of the drama, name calling, and negative spirits that come out during these times, but it is sometimes called for.
So I will say that everyone of us believes that they are doing the right thing all the time. Experience has taught us that is an impossible feat. That still does not deter us from thinking that we are in the right.
We are all flawed!

So you leave your doors open since you assume all humans want to be good ?
You don't insure your house since you trust it won't burn down ?
When driving a car you don't follow the rules you just hope nobody wants to get in an accident and thus give you way ?
Upu don't believe in blackmailing since uou won't do such a thing ?
The debt is fake since sane person would let ot get so extreme ?
Wars are all fake news since nobody will kill someone else ?
In short "So I would hope that the Devs are fiscally responsible and are in this same camp" is so naive it is hard to believe you actually wrote it down.

No, I definitely lock my doors. My family needs me to take these security measures.
I actually do not insure my house. I have seen many many many house fires. More than most people. You can’t replace burned family photos, can’t replace the stuffed animal that your sister has had for 30 years. No one has ever been outside of a burning building and said “I’m sure glad that we have insurance.” What they actually say is “we are still here. We all got out ok. We hope the cat got out because we can’t find him.” Then they tell stories about how they got out and what they did to get everyone else out.
You can’t replace PEOPLE. But I can build another one with my bare hands.
I do have a problem following the road rules. I am courteous to others, but on open highway I have to press the e-pedal. Going fast is my addiction.
I haven’t experienced any blackmail in my life so I don’t know how to answer this question. No I don’t consider it to be high on my list of things to watch out for.
“The debt is fake.” This is a good one. I would have to say. the debt is both real and fake.
I would like to think of it as the debt won’t kill you if it doesn’t get paid.
The wars are real. The persons being killed are real. The REASONS wars are started are fake. EX: “They have weapons of mass destruction.”
So are you saying that the Devs are not doing ok financially?
"So are you saying that the Devs are not doing ok financially?"
No I'm not.
Focus on the "in short" on the end.
It is not wise to just trust core developers.
If you do, I think you are naive; you either don't know how the real world, unfortunately, works or you don't grasp what Bitcoin factually is, perhaps some of both.
Oh, ok I see what you are saying.
I have to take it one day at a time, but from what I have witnessed… I am Team Luke until I die.
I understand how the real world works. I just like to have a positive outlook on most things in life. It helps my perception of reality.
I am often proven wrong about humanity, but I am a bleeding heart. What can I say.
As far as Bitcoin… I talk about and state that Bitcoin is the BEST thing/creation that I have ever witnessed. My friends and family think I am talking out of the side of my neck. I just tell them…
I have always been early in my life. This is no different. I am early and you will wish that you had investigated Bitcoin. As we will all need and want it.
I would like to add to this statement that I do not support the tinkering with the Bitcoin Network for “coding practice” just to see what happens, nor to clean up the code. If the system isn’t broken then there “should” (in my opinion) be no altering the code.
Maintaining something doesn’t dictate the need to alter it.
To me it just means keeping it in a ready state where you could alter if needed.
If you see it as the future global money base/standard it is too important to alter.
If you see it as a database used for data storage, then I wouldn’t have a problem altering it on a daily basis.
Satoshi said Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System
I see it as an E Cash System.
How do you see it?
