I am once again reminding you that you do *not* need to update your Bitcoin node software.
I’m not saying you should *never* update it, I’m just saying there’s no reason to rush and you can safely run a few versions behind without issues.
Bitcoin node software is backwards compatible.

28.1 for life
Still running 28.1 and will continue to do so…
Congrats for backing core lmao
Bud, you need to look in the mirror. The dude is literally saying not to update your node.
Reading comprehension is difficult, apparently…
The man has had no one except core apologists on his show while claiming to be “neutral”
Unfortunately all the knots influencers have blocked me so that makes it difficult to reach out…
Apparently telling people that I don’t care what node implementation they run, that they don’t need to update their node, and that I personally won’t be updating mine makes me a “bad actor” and a “core apologist.”
Truly astounding levels of mental gymnastics.
You “don’t care” about the main developer team behind Bitcoin node software updates going rogue and working against the interests of node runners?
That’s some mental gymnastics too.
Did I say that? No, I did not. You seem confused, stating your personal opinion as a question and projecting it onto me.
Your message has been “just don’t update” “it’s not a big deal”
So it’s not important to replace people at the Bitcoin core or establish a new reference team for Bitcoin updates.
What if Bitcoin needs updates in future? Do we let shitcoiners run Bitcoin core ?
My message has always been “I do not care what node implementation you run, and you don’t have to update it.” Put another way, “if you don’t like Core, run Knots.” How is that a controversial statement? It’s literally what all the knots influencers have been saying.
Which core devs need to be “replaced”? All of them? Everyone who has written any code in the last year? The last two years? What’s the criteria for removal?
Bitcoin Core is a voluntary, decentralized effort.
Who decided who gets replaced? Who decides who is on the new “reference team”? Sounds like you’ll need a centralized team to decide that.
Bitcoin obviously needs updates in the future, and maintenance in the interim — (mostly) everyone knows this.
Bitcoin-core pushed controversial changes in the face of widespread dissent and ongoing debate with the op_return mempool update, and have now DELISTED v30 and 30.1 because of a massive bug that somehow slipped through 2 versions and all the “best” review and testing.
If the current 5 Bitcoin-core maintainers don’t voluntarily step down then the uses will have to establish a new reference software for future update testing.
My contention in this conversation has been that YOU (as a public Bitcoin influencer) have a responsibility to either have a balanced guest list on your show about this issue, or go back to the previous guests who advocated for Bitcoin-core and confront them on the complete failure to catch this wallet removal bug.
If this bug happened with knots, the knots side would never hear the end of it. Yet here, we have excuses and cover immediately deployed just like a fucking government institution.
How many “spam apologists” has Kratter hosted on his show?
I’ve literally never told anyone to run core… I’ve told people for a long time they don’t need to update their node, and I won’t be updating mine anytime soon. Get your facts straight.
Every single one of your guests on your podcast regarding this issue has been pro core. How about you bring someone on who might explain why 20% of the network thought it was appropriate to switch flags and demonstrate against Bitcoin core
Who would you like me to bring on the show?
Jimmy Song
I’d love to do a pod with nostr:npub10vlhsqm4qar0g42p8g3plqyktmktd8hnprew45w638xzezgja95qapsp42 — he’s a rad dude.
nostr:npub10vlhsqm4qar0g42p8g3plqyktmktd8hnprew45w638xzezgja95qapsp42 on THE Bitcoin podcast would be awesome 🤝
Knots
And here we are, refining the state management, refactoring the code, and delaying the launch of a wallet worried we ship it with bugs that can result in loss of funds 😂
nostr:nevent1qqs0dgutnq6as5p8hjlmltfvn48uxu8mxgt5xltqp40tefuq8cseumqry2mk0
Hey nostr:nprofile1qyt8wue69uhh2mtzwfjkctnvda3kzmp6xsurgwqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgxy3c5lqj6g9nqpeg0ea7xgdmurrrq9nc8fx5er2930pq8jdc2vzyu7yza6 maybe it's time to rethink your stance on core... oh wait, that was months ago and you chose not to lmao
Yup. Seriously bad take on that. Highly doubt he’s done any research into it. Hard to imagine supporting Core if you have
Find me ONE example of me telling people to run core…
Here’s me months ago saying you don’t need to update your node.
I’ve said many times that I’m not updating my node.
My favorite part was where every single comment was telling you how wrong you are. 
I also get a lot of XRP army people in my comments telling me that XRP is better than Bitcoin. Turns out a mob of angry YouTube comments is not automatically correct.
But that’s beside the point. Did I at any point tell people to run core v30?
Wow and I had so much confidence in the clowns pushing the new core cause they thought they were the cool kids….. key word being kids….
Yeah bring someone in to the show besides the circle of spam apologists
Who is the “circle of spam apologists”?
You had Lopp for a whole episode. Would be fair for your audience to hear the other side of the story, unless you agree with the filters don’t work narrative of course, in which case you could say so. A lot of Bitcoin influencers have been too timid with the shitCore situation.
You can’t make a “circle” with one person. Who are the other people?
Peter Todd, NVK, Marty Bent for instance, when are you gonna have guests with other point of views? It’s an important matter.
You think all those people are “spam apologists”? Do you have a criteria for how you classify people this way so I can better understand?
Even though I think this topic has been discussed far too much already, I’d be happy to have any of the knots influencers on my show. Unfortunately they’ve all blocked me for saying “run whatever node you want and don’t update it” because apparently that makes me a “spam apologist.”
Yeah, we all get too passionate when it comes to Bitcoin. nostr:npub10vlhsqm4qar0g42p8g3plqyktmktd8hnprew45w638xzezgja95qapsp42 would be a great guest to your show, he’s a principled and spirited debater.
