I wouldn't fund "infinite bitcoin development" either, but the network depends on a minimum required maitanance. If the developers do not maintain the software, the bitcoin will die.

If the choice is between:

a. Fund no development

b. Fund extra fancy development

b. is the game theory optimal solution for the developers.

a. funds no development, therefore giving developers an incentive to fund extra fancy development.

If Saylor is correct and I am correct in my belief that human action is based on incintives, both scenarios will eventually kill bitcoin.

The game theory optimal solution, assuming we want bitcoin to survive is to fund the changes you want to see in the world.

If I had $200,000,000 to buy #bitcoin in 2014 instead of $20, I would pay huge bounties for software maintanance and critical bug fixes to change the incentives.

What maintenance does it need?

Lbraries that update require compatibity updates. You can't just run bitcoin core 29 forever.

I learned about it on SLP 404.

I would freeze the code and work on quantum resistance for the next 15 years.

I wouldn’t.
