Maybe, but that’s not my point. What’s it take to get this many devs fired up and building on Bitcoin?
Discussion
We gotta account for all the inefficiencies and unproductive things built on ETH. Quantity of devs doesn’t necessarily equate with better and more efficient products imo.
Bitcoin doesn’t need changing, eth is constantly changing. Do we really need 1000s of devs to watch a code not change and maybe fix a bug or two a year?
Yes
They can also build other sterf on the other layers these days
I would say there’s a big difference between a core Dev and L2 dev and the quantity of them needed. But yes good point, there is a need for these L2 devs to build solutions on top of bitcoin
I also wouldn’t say no to 2000 eyes (4000 including glasses) staring at the core code in case some dingo changes something once every 2 years.
I think there are a lot of enthusiasts around the globe that might be doing exactly that.
Just staring at the bitcoin core code but not doing much else.
I’m not talking about maintaining Bitcoin Core, but building on/with Bitcoin.
