open source software is powerful because anyone can verify, modify, distribute, and use without permission

a robust open source ecosystem empowers all of us to take agency over our lives

fighting with people over what software they run is mostly unproductive, run what you want, thats the whole point

I thought not everything was good for Bitcoin? This is a political matter. Whoever persuades and perseveres wins. There is something to be won; otherwise, nobody would be fighting. Relying on people to β€œtake agency” is a losing proposition. Authority and brand matters, that’s why most people ...

Why are you trying to mute the debate? Sus. Awareness is key to making the decision which code to run. It’s important to know that Core is corrupted.

It’s freedom to run any software you want. FOSS was the way in the early 90s and it’s the correct way now. I’d argue we were innovating faster with open source until all the mega corporations came in and tried to close source everything and build the walled gardens we are in now. Open source...

Really? 80% of the network running on a software that potentially could kill BTC?

Yes. But it's also why BTC can be forked to infinity. It is NOT a store of value, just a currency.

I think your premise is correct, but in the real world, running software that has the very real potential to kill the p2p layer of bitcoin. i think that is worth fighting over, don't you?

A lot of people are naturally followers. They have a hard time making decisions on their own. Public arguments that they can read through will help those people to make the right decision. When you argue about core vs knots or something similar it's not about convincing the person you are arguin...

There wouldn't be any fighting if **_anyone_** on the Core side could explain the changes and the reasoning clearly. I've been reading the exchanges here for days and even the people I view as friends have not been able to put together an argument that sounded remotely cogent. I've directly asked fo...

Yeah and don't use level state propaganda spreading child porn fear unto bitcoin core runners like me. That is actually anti marketing for Knots lol 🀣 So many twitter bitcoin influencers push the agenda in a weird manner. Like Mr.Odell said - run what you want and turn off ideology.

"Yay let's all be free and loving and not care what anyone else does cos we're all free and loving and that's the whole point". Ummmm no.

"Run the software you want" is a red herring. The issue is Bitcoin developers changing / degrading the code to fundamentally change Bitcoin.
