"In the long run, this bitcoin core drama could be good for the network.

We’ve depended a lot on Bitcoin core and it’s one of the most centralized aspects of bitcoin. Going rogue was inevitable and I’m surprised it took this long tbh. Even if Bitcoin core doesn’t push this update, people are switching to alternative options which decentralizes the network further. This is a good thing.

Remember that you don’t have to make a decision right now. You do not have to update your node. If you’re unsure about where to stand or don’t really understand the issue, you don’t have to do anything. You don’t have to form an opinion right now and you can always change your opinion later. I don’t completely understand this issue and kind of don’t care to understand. I have a fucking life and I’m not going to get all bent out of shape every time there is drama with devs and other bullshit. I remember wasting so much time trying to understand ordinals and if I just spent time with family, stacking sats, and touching grass it would’ve worked itself out. I don’t even remember the other retarded thing they tried implementing. The point is that things will work themselves out with time. The best course of action will become very clear eventually and just waiting will save you a lot of headache."
