It’s not about the code. It’s about who’s proposing it.-@`Bitcoin Mechanic`
Should technical merit matter less than reputation in Bitcoin dev? 🤔
What do you think?
Healthy defense… or ideological decay?
Curious to hear your thoughts.👇
' When they propose things like OpCat, or SegWit2x, or relaxing the filters on OpReturn, it really matters who does it. You can't be that naive about it, and be like, these bad actors are coming into the space and pushing for good technical changes. You can't just be like, oh well, it's about the code. It really isn't. Not really. It should be people that you trust, because most people are going off those heuristics. Extreme example is, if World Economic Forum and Klaus Schwab were coming and saying, hey, we want to do this thing with Bitcoin, obviously you're going to say no. It doesn't matter what the code is. And actually, it would be a good attack to poison all of the good ideas we could do in Bitcoin by having terrible people present them, and make us never want to do it. That would be an effective attack, because we have to do it. It's basically politics. You have to reject even reasonable ideas from terrible actors that are seeking to build their influence over the whole culture.'- nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7enfd36x2u3wdehhxarj9emkjmn99uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshsqgr5llz3escp2r8hndktx9kn59w0xv4t9x3clmy7kjz2k9236mgc2cnhlcdl
