New version of Bitcoin Core 28.0! Quickly install it without even reading the changes! What is this consensus thing? 😂

Guilty…
21m cap check? ✅
PoW check? ✅
No Datacenter needed to run a node check? ✅
…..?
The day will come when core will stealthily introduce an increase in the supply of bitcoins and you will all rush to install the new version and accept the new rules 😂 .
Currently there is no consensus, except for what Luke can do for himself in knots which has a lot of merit.

"trustless"
It's the sad reality; pleb node runners will usually just install what their respective node package (mynode, raspiblitz, umbrel, start0s etc) recommends them on the main screen.
Which is why the whole "run your own node" is in reality much overblown. But even if ppl ran their nodes and checked the release notes & decided what to run, how many of their day-to-day transactions really *use* that node, and not the default electrum server baked into whatever mobile wallet they use?
Or what is the consensus block explorer people turn to when they want to "proove" they paid someone? mempool.space, or joeshmo's home node?
More important question is what’s in the binary.. are you even a node runner if you didn’t compile it yourself?!
