#cypherpunks are the backbone of BTC, a lot of them still alive..never forget that.
Yes support the devs but not with Wall Street grants and fundings for God's sake.
Put all above together and answer why not should be obvious.
Cypherpunk Bitcoiners are Not Bitcoiners.
I know. BTC dust hits different.
nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx is trying to compromise me. I think we should remove zaps from Nostr to stop this type of incentive based behavior.

✊🏼🖤✊🏼Massive respect for cypherpunk OGs!
People forget he is an engineer. Most his points are solid. Some stories get too long but he nails it. And also he can't change bitcoin so those saying that he advocates for big holders...it doesn't matter..he is just another btc hodler.
Very cool...Saylor is also cool..he triggers some people but he explains btc in a great and passionate way. Deep knowledge I search elsewhere but hype thing : MS.
Drop me some links brother.
It's noble we all know that but we also know that many will try to corrupt the devs...the Wall Street's wet dream : get control over bitcoin development.
I had discussion on the topic and a lot of different opinions. They still run the code/non mining nodes/ they can reject the version of protocol..that is power. Isn't it the only truly decentralized part of network?
Isn't the below true regarding non mining nodes?
1. They independently validate transactions and blocks, ensuring miners follow the protocol rules correctly.This prevents miners from engaging in malicious activities like creating invalid coins or double-spending.
2. They reject invalid blocks from miners, acting as a check against 51% attacks or attempts to rewrite the blockchain history. This disincentivizes miners from producing invalid blocks.
3. They propagate valid transactions and blocks across the network, increasing the network's resilience and decentralization.More nodes make it harder to censor or disrupt the flow of data.
4. They serve as a data source for lightweight clients (like mobile wallets), allowing such clients to securely use Bitcoin without storing the entire blockchain.This improves accessibility.
5. They enable new users to independently verify Bitcoin's rules and history without trusting others, aligning with Bitcoin's trustless and decentralized principles.This strengthens censorship resistance.
In summary, while non-mining nodes don't directly secure the network through proof-of-work, they play a vital role in enforcing rules, preventing censorship, increasing resilience, and enabling trustless verification - all key security aspects of Bitcoin.

"For any period of time, economic security is a function of the number of merchants and the similarity of amounts traded. The strongest economy would be all people in the world trading for the same number of units in the period, an ideal which can be called a "distributed" (or fully-decentralized) economy. The weakest would be one delegate accepting all units traded in the period, which would be a "centralized" economy."
Deep. Thx!
Beautiful.
