Yes because we all know that devs are the most social, political and economically astute people around 🙄

Modern man still is anxious and tempted to surrender his freedom to dictators of all kinds, or to lose it by transforming himself into a small cog in the machine, well fed, and well clothed, yet not a free man but an automaton — Erich Fromm

Just maintain the software. If they want to create all these new features then go work on solana

Doesn’t matter the exact number. There’s been an obvious shift in sentiment from many node runners. The system is working as every node is a vote. Core seems to think they are entitled to do what they want without pushback. Should people be more respectful in the debate? Sure, but this is the internet after all

“Defend the network”

There isn’t one. That’s why it’s all memes and calling people retards. The idea that not raising the op_return limit is some existential threat to Bitcoin is laughable. They don’t actually give a shit about the limit - it’s about winning. They want to know that when they DO change something of significance they can get it done. Core devs are the biggest threat to Bitcoin

I understand your flawed logic no matter how condescendingly you present it. Slipstream has extra cost for users and for MARA to maintain. This idea that slipstream is going to take over the mining industry is another assumption that cannot be verified. Your arguments read like someone who’s recently got into technical discussions about bitcoin after reading a few dozen tweets on X

Probably do already

“That's because OP_RETURN data does not receive a discount like witness data” So what is the incentive to use OP_RETURN then?

Bitcoin doesn’t need zero knowledge proofs. And the status quo does not in any way guarantee miner centralization. You’re just assuming these are truths without any way to verify them.

Why are whales retards? Don’t liquidate in a Sunday 🤦‍♂️
