In this case I'm talkng about the "Op Return" development where the data limit was extended.
But there is more going on.

All I can think of after reading your remark are all the people who tried to argue with me that inflation is good even needed 🫩

The blocks I've war was rather easy to understand and the players involved where pretty straight forward with their arguments.

It still wasn't easy to make up your mind but once I did and understood decentralization was at the root the whole thing became perfect clear.

With current core developments there is not such a clear well defined problem/risk.

Well I think it is but it is way more complex to explain.

It is not that I'm against new ways to use Bitcoin.
But more where and how these possible new things have to be developed.

Possible risks are mostly long term and more in the legal department.
Most people seem to not care about long term and don't understand legal stuff (world wide) very well.

Next we will be talking fast about technical implementation stuff, another thing not well understood by many.

And so on.

I still haven't heard from any core developer why new developments need to be done on the Bitcoin protocol and not like Lightning on a separate layer.

Want to enable more data than financial data ? fine, do it on an other layer.

Bitcoin is money first and foremost.
Yes it can be way more but that should not have to be implemented on core.

Simply because any change can be a risk.
And we won't get a second chance on freedom money in our lifetime.

Seems most politics these days is just that 🤢

The scary part is this goes for every rule and law out there.

For the critical mind that is just the start.

"The right to pursue happiness" becomes a strange thing when we think of a pedophile isn't it 🤔

And that is why a critical mind and thoughts of your own are so god damn important.

I like to think there are times you need to be curious.
Just like there are times to be judgemental.
Just as there are times you need to act.

The right timing is key.

Don't forget it expresses the value of a shitcoin expressed in another shitcoin.

Even Gold is manipulated heavily so neither that will work properly.
Even Bitcoin, somewhere down the line, got heavily manipulated.

And that is how powerful the fiat cartel factually is.
Our only hope is breaking away from the fiat system.

I won't say it is easy, but the alternative will be we have to break away from a dystopian CBDC and a China like social credit society.

Good luck with that..... !

Funny comment, even if true 😉

It is rather amazing how long people can deny, refuse to see what is happening, even when warned straight out...

Hyperinflation is always far away, for countries, currencies aliens to them, simply not possible to happen to them...

And still it happens to many, it is devastating even for most who tried to prepare.

And it is build it to happen to every fiat system currently up and running.

The only question is when.

Since those numbers Billion, Trillion and soon Quadrillion don't mean much to most, perhaps a graph will ?

Most People can't think for themselves anymore.

I asked many why they still work for a currency others can print for free...

Some got even angry at me, guess they where close to understanding what is happening but still not ready to fully admit it ?

Tried to explain this to others...

None could believe it, I guess part is that they realize that they would be funding it themselves, probably a few steps too far 🤣
