"Survival of the fittest" is a misinterpretation of evolutionary theory. The ones that survive are the fittest. If you die you die. Being the fittest today is not a guarantee of survival in the future. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

While cooperation is a long term trend, competition is the environmental pressure driver. Cooperate to what end? There is no assured final destination.

Bitcoin is not the first tool to allow that. It is just the best we've had in history.

Can this be done remotely?

Core v Knots is like any other political debate.

If any bitcoin implementation is to hold the status of reference implementation, I'll hold their maintainers and defenders to the same standards I hold politicians, bankers and CEOs, in that I dont trust them or what they say at face value.

Core crowd is behaving like the situation party, Knots like the oposition. People claiming their side is the source of truth are sheep.

The world is better with many implementations of bitcoin. Just like the world is better without a single central control goverment.

The world is better because both Core and Knots exist, but no one should trust whatever their supporters say at face value.

I am very skeptic of Core folks right now. I think they are failing miserably at making people feel at ease. While I understand that is not their core skill, because they hold a very privileged position as maintainers of the reference implementation, I do expect that thry try harder.

please read the whole conversation he has with @Jameson Lopp

it's more relevant than the clout generated by this screenshot.

more conversation, less friction. let's not create unnecessary conflicts.
