Apparently, and unfortunately, it looks like many of your nostr followers have gone bitcoin woke, mustering mostly emotional reactions and reciting spoon-fed narratives. Im seeing this everywhere, unfortunately.

I'd love to see a thoughtful discussion between you and Samson about the topic. Might help bridge the divide.

Or maybe Samson and Greg since they have had a working relationship dating back ages (a decade iirc).

This whole thing reminds me a bit of the block size wars. Many getting caught up in emotional and irrational vilification and even hysteria instead of thoughtful and respectful discussion over differences of opinion on complex technical matters including game theory, which is likely too complex for most (including me) to wrap their heads around.

There also seems to be a fair amount of confusion over default settings vs. removed options. I'd think at the least such a discussion could clear some of that up.

My 2c fwiw.
