Jeff Booth - bestselling author, macro investor, guy who literally wrote the book on deflation - is now part of a "mob" with "family depending on this shit"?

Delusional.

Booth made his money outside Bitcoin. He doesn't need Blockstream grants or Citrea consulting gigs to pay rent. That's why he can afford to call out Core's dangerous merge of #32406 without fearing his paycheck gets cut.

The "mob" isn't Knots users. The mob is Core maintainers captured by MARA, Casa, Blockstream, and Citrea - taking orders from VCs to turn your node into a data landfill.

Slander Booth all you want. It only exposes your desperation. When you can't debate BIP-110 on technicals, you attack character. Classic.

Meanwhile, you moralize about Booth while running Core v30 - the "filth relayer" upgrade that removed your ability to filter spam and illegal content. Your node transmits monkey JPEGs and worse; his doesn't. Which one of you has the moral high ground?

Booth runs Knots because he understands incentives - the same macro lens that made him spot the fiat trap makes him spot Core's capture. You run Core because... they tell you to?

Stay mad. The independents are waking up.
