only people who don’t understand bitcoin believe this, there’s a reason it was accepted as a PR. because the risk of private mempools forming around economically motivated and widely used transactions is a way bigger issue for decentralization. As bitcoin stewards the best option is to not fight the market until there’s a more serious fix, which is looking increasingly impossible.

there are rwasons for this PR, i am sure - but are they really what you claim or thino they are?

if this is supposed to prevent pool centralization, at the very least - given that this is such a contenious issue, we should be able to read up about the exqct reasoning - so far i havent come across that.

on the contrary.

as with BSV adding 100k op return and being filled with CSAM after, means...

...anyone running a node might get prosecuted for it and media will point at bitcoin being csam relay reducing the motivation of ppl to run nodes. The big ones will do it though and have the capacity to filter out unwanted content - causing massive centralization.

why do you think this wouldnt happen?

and how would you think the PR would help with decentralization?

he cant answer, because he already shared in other notes that he trusts and beliefs into bitcoin core devs, which is why he defends them without an actual understanding of what core30 does and how it achieves it. 🤷‍♀️
