Whether you are pro-Knots or pro-Core, why would you listen to anyone who wants to change Bitcoin but isnāt financially invested in it? This negates any argument whatsoever from him in my mind.

Removing skin from the game
Yep. Writing him and his opinions off as of this moment.
Everybody is free to do what they want with their fiat. Saying he wants to change bitcoin is a stretch
šÆ
For some time I've been thinking that some state actor, other than the US, wants the Bitcoin down to get in, and pays them. š Add that bullshit email from Epstein into the equation. And with your post, it somehow makes it more plausible with this "rotation".
Itās me. Iām trying to tank the price so I can buy more. šš¤£
Wants to change Bitcoin, or is alarmed that others are changing it?
There is no side in the debate that doesnāt want to change something. I donāt care which side youāre on, but Iām not going to entertain anyoneās opinion who doesnāt have a financial stake in it.
"but Iām not going to entertain anyoneās opinion who doesnāt have a financial stake in it." So that's all the traders ... thrown under the bus; irrelevant according to you? ... This is insane reasoning.
Even if traders had an opinion on the technical design of bitcoin (which I doubt they do), even they have some semblance of a financial stake in its future, at least to the extent that its technical design affects their ability to profit from it.
many core devs dont have no stake in it.
mechanic has stake in it.
he doesn't say that he doesn't hold any bitcoin.
You and I interpret ārotating out of bitcoinā differently.
"This negates any argument whatsoever from him in my mind." That's called throwing the baby out with the bathwater. A good argument subsists, independent of the person making the argument.
Someone who doesnāt have skin in the game is irrelevant.
Haven't some core devs stated that they don't own bitcoin? Serious question.
Idk but if so their opinions are equally irrelevant to me
I donāt agree with mechanic, but here heās not saying that heās got no corn.
Heās just saying that he hasnāt bought any corn for the last year because he is waiting (in his opinion) for the fork
I like you man, but not sure how this can be interpreted as you did. Letās not fall into tribalism!
He literally says heās ābegun rotating out of bitcoin.ā
I agree with your last sentence, but I'm just here to say that if you hold in self-custody and a fork occurs, you own coins on both chains
Also, not saying Corn is falling into it, just agree with the general idea
I agree with your post, hence my original comment. I didn't want my other comment to make it seem like I was saying you were falling for tribalism. Though I probably caused confusion trying to clarify something that probably didn't need to be clarified š
Yes I also dont get mechanic logic here. Why stop stacking if you think there's gonna be a fork?
Maybe he thinks btc is completely collapsing and wants to see "his" fork win before getting back in it? That would explain also the "rotating out of btc" part

The best time to get Bitcoin is before it forks...
who wants to change bitcoin? its all about restoring what core broke.
While I agree with your statement, I don't think his statement says he isn't financially invested in it. Just says no further investment is being made. Technically we have zero clue if any Bitcoin dev has financial stake in it -- all trust, no verify there.
We've had a couple folks are our weekly meetup that are doing the same thing because of how poorly this was handled. One holds a prominent technical role for one of the larger Bitcoin miners.
I really wish Core would take some ownership of how badly they bungled the social aspect of these changes rather than continuing to be arrogant, condescending pricks at every turn. While its too late here, I'd hope they have some lessons learned for future potentially divisive releases.
He says heās ābegun rotating out of bitcoin.ā Seems clear enough to me
Happy FUD Friday everyone š¤£
