The beauty of open source isn’t just about submitting PRs, it’s about aligning code with Bitcoin’s cypherpunk vision: individual sovereignty, resistance to centralized control, and decentralized sound money.
I don’t need to be a coder to see when changes, like OP_RETURN limit increases, risk straying from that ethos. Thousands of devs contribute, sure, but meritocracy doesn’t mean every change is automatically aligned with Bitcoin’s original purpose.
Community pushback (through discussion or running nodes like Knots) is part of the checks and balances, not “crying.”
Dismissing philosophical concerns as technical ignorance misses the point: Bitcoin’s code serves its ideology, not the other way around.
I’m happy to learn more about Core’s process, but let’s also discuss how changes preserve Bitcoin as decentralized money. How do larger OP_RETURNs align with that vision?
Bitcoin’s cypherpunk origins prioritize a philosophy: individual sovereignty, resistance to centralized control, and the creation of sound money free from manipulation. Code should reflect that vision.
Many Bitcoiners see developers straying from this, whether due to shifting priorities or external influence (I’m not claiming “bought off,” but the concern exists). When developers’ goals diverge, it’s natural they’d push code changes reflecting their new stance—just as it’s natural for the community to push back against changes misaligned with Bitcoin’s ethos as decentralized sound money.
Dismissing these concerns as “masses” misunderstanding tech is technocratic elitism. It sidesteps the real issue: philosophy guides code, not the other way around. Technical jargon shouldn’t obscure Bitcoin’s foundational principles.
Concerned bitcoiners:
"Alert! They're coming in through the back door!".
Bitcoin Core Guardians:
"Calm down. Open all the doors and windows. Let them come in and do whatever they want!"
So Bitcoin Core, which was supposed to be the defender of the citadel, opens the gates wide, and says that whoever wants to defend the citadel can do so by their own means?
Life is a cemetery of retrospective lucidities. You have to get involved here and now. Do you agree with what Bitcoin Core is doing? I´m not. And apparently, many others don't either.

A new Bitcoin ATH.
Price discovery! –they say.
But there is no such thing as a price discovery. There is no long-run equilibrium process or Final State of Rest (FSR). Prices are established every fucking moment. Supply and demand constantly adjust and price reaches a momentary equilibrium, the Mises Simple State of Rest (PSR).

Más bien lo contrario. Menger lo explica así: 
"Medium of Payment" and "Medium of Exchange" are not the same thing.
I just wanted to say that.
I don't know the date, but the fact is that the emoji was removed
Elon Musk hasn't said the word Bitcoin since 2022. Will he talk about Bitcoin tomorrow or will he continue to bury his head in the sand like an ostrich?
