Ridiculing opposing positions as nonsense isn't the best way to make your position more popular. The opinions of technical people aren't the only valid ones.

I completely disagree. The technical and rational people are the *only* valid ones. It’s a meritocratic system. Money should not be ruled by the emotional whims of people who don’t understand the system they are trying to change. If we allow that then bitcoin is doomed.

If you want to make a change, then become a core contributor, learn how bitcoin works, and become a part of the development process. Forking off into some alternate with an unhinged maintainer is not the way.

Bitcoin is far more than the technical people who do things to its code. Every holder, noderunner, and miner also gets a say.

Core is "trying to change" not knots. You have it reversed.

I think the point is that core wants to make changes and as you said non technical don't want to make changes. Am I wrong?

I'm deleting damus and never recommending. Bitcoin is my money, and I have valid opinions even if I don't code. Plus, you - the coder - obviously don't understand bitcoin at all. This is THE DUMBEST and most arrogant post I've ever seen on nostr. Impressive.

If the technical/rational ones are being paid then should they still be considered the only valid ones? I’m not saying core is bought and paid for. But unless we know 100% that they are not then why would we think they’re the only ones with valid opinions?

Weird argument for someone who just lost half the market share of a project within a few months. Nobody gonna pay you or give you gold stars for contributing to something no one wants.

the only ones who doesnt provide any ratiinal for why core30 is supposed to be good is you. esentially, you disqualify yourself. you say you trust core, thus you dont have a facts or arguments based opinion yourself. you currently choose that, thus nobody shluld discuss the pros/cons of core30 wit...
