Let’s do a quick thought experiment. Imagine a government wants to attack Bitcoin. What could they do?

They can compromised a number of developers. The developers could start slowly degrading Bitcoin.

They could change the definition of Bitcoin being "digital currency that uses peer-to-peer technology" to just be a "peer-to-peer network".

They could change the definition of the datacarriersize.

Using that as argument they could deny fixing the inscriptions spam.

Then they could use the inscriptions spam as an argument that spam is unstoppable so they better blow up OP_RETURN and invite even more spam.

Just like BSV did after which someone uploaded CSAM to the BSV blockchain.

That’s exactly how it would be done……..

It would be done in sly round about way……….

Inscriptions spam was introduced inadvertently and now it is held up high as freedom tech…….

They think we forgot…….

Wait, you forgot the part where @ODELL and other "bitcoiners" create posts that suggest your logic is flawed, just drama, confusing, crazy and or morally wrong to agree with. Government attack? I don't think they're that clever.

True but I am not sure how many of them are compromised and how many are just useful tools or brainwashed like sheep.

I definitely see a number of bad actors like Jameson Lopp, Shinobi and others but not sure for some though their actions and communications speak volumes.

Out of the many many retarded pro core posts over the last year, this was one of the worst.

I was surprised to see it. In the same negative way I was surprised about Adam Back and Andreas.

Or the level of retardation majority of Coretards devs have fallen.

That would be expected behavior from Shinobi, shitcoinmagazine and all who gravitate around it, David Bailey, Jameson Slopp and other bad actors like them.

But slowly I am starting to expect everything and not get that surprised.

Corruption unveils the worst from people.

We just need to resist the bad actors and fight for the good causes - fix the money, fix the world.
