1. Most likely No

2. You cant care about the future of something youre not vested in. The first proof of caring about bitcoin is owning some

3. Whoever pays the piper dictates the tune. Core developers get grants from shitcoiners trying to bring their grift to bitcoin so, they have to do what the shitcoiners say they need to bring their jpegs to bitcoin or the grant goes away...these developers have to earn a living

4. They are coders....good at coding but otherwise not very intelligent. Being able to code is not the same as wisdom

5. Because all the shitcoins have failed and are failing. more ordinary people who are the victims of the grift are mostly beginning to see it and migrating to bitcoin...to keep the drift going, destroy bitcoin so the crypto space blows up and there's no safety haven for innocents to run to

6. Of course it ain't broke...the objective is to break it

7. All the influencers and vc advocating for the change have an altcoin or a company that entertains shitcoin...Jameson lopp, citrea etc

8. All of the above

9. Their hands have to be forced and the only way to do that is if version 30 does not have support...more knots nodes and existing core nodes refusing to update to version 30

10. No faith in core. We can only hope it was all a fiat price suppression fud...that will be a best case scenario

11. The other way is long term, bitcoin core software or any other cannot be the reference software implementation....there has to be at least 5 or more bitcoin software implementations and more bitcoiners running nodes
