1) Defunding Open source Devs increases the chances of ossification if no one is actively working on and supporting changes

2) He could be currently working on Lightning tooling and services to monopolize it and doesn’t want there to be any better (decentralized) MoE with Bitcoin like eCash

3) He really only seems to support Bitcoin as a SoV and shills dollars and visa for MoE

Dude literally wrote a thesis jerking off Machiavellianism and you think He is honest and forward with his Bitcoin motives ?

You'll lose your objectivity, the closer you get

Well if you are taking his word for wanting ossification and supporting Bitcoin only as SoV then aren't you kinda taking it as his honest and forward opinion about it? 🤣

*ba dum tiss*

Sidenote: Did you actually read his "jerking off Machiavelliansim" thesis and know what he argues/discusses in it? I downloaded a copy to read it but not sure I got the time for that. No idea what it's about or what's in it.

I read it a few times.

It’s about a systems dynamics model of political interactions.
