#Bitcoin doesn't promise fairness in life, only fairness in money.
No favours. No bailouts. No debasement.

The recent selloff despite strong earnings shows equities trade more like policy-driven paper than a rational free market.
When companies are priced 30-50x earnings it's no longer rational and price discovery can't exist before more liquidity actually arrives.
It's why I'm so bullish on #Bitcoin

Knots is already bad for lightning, not when it hard forks. Same for older versions of Core
I think it matters more than you’re stating. I’m not going to pretend I understand the ins and outs
...
Yeah, that’s true with the relay policy mismatches.
You’re right, Core 30 will roll out no matter what with its own policies too, and hopefully it doesn’t escalate further

I’m not sure it’s that simple
Knots is bitcoin core with some filters that don’t really work
Also if people run different versions of Bitcoin, it screws the lightning network
I’m not her...
Different implementations are non-partisan and perfectly fine as long as consensus rules match. Like you said, Knots is basically Core with extra relay options, and for Core/Knots team to deviate into hard-fork territory would be an insane move, and bad for Lightning.
The good thing about Bitcoin is we don’t have to speculate on compromised teams or people; the code speaks for itself, and everyone is free to choose which open-source software to run.

Bitcoin is whatever node runners choose to run in open-source software, whether that’s Core, Knots, or another client. Any incompatible hardfork just creates another altcoin, no impact to Bitcoin.
There's been so much misinformation and noise about this topic, it's been disappointing to see.

Just to put in perspective of how destroyed the middle class is today.
Top 1% of US earners now have more wealth than than the entire middle class:

Better get some sats.
