Me, too. My only hot take is that governments are likely going to make having a copy of the blockchain data illegal because of all the β€˜bad’ things on it. That is going to scare off users running their own node.

they don't need any "bad" things there to make it illegal.

Everyone has a responsibility to run Bitcoin if you care about self custody and you want to minimize trust.

Core is proposing a big change to default policy that will effect everyone that updates their node and does not change default settings.

Knots is node software with extra features, but any node today runs the default filter settings- β€œswitching to knots” is mostly a form of protest and user flagging.

Staying on an old Bitcoin core version is the same thing.
