Knots still at only 10%, you'd think all that virtue signaling on social media would be worth more than 10%, but no.

Bitcoin Node Software

I don't know who needs to hear this but Core is not a monopoly . You can't have a monopoly on open source software that people voluntarily choose to run.
Hilarious watching Samson try to argue with developers, just keeps getting ratioed over and over again.
Long before the terms "crypto bros" or "suit coiners" were coined (pre-ICO/DEFI/NFT/MSTR) there were real bitcoiners telling you to only buy bitcoin.
Bitcoin has since grown immensely but the real ones are easy to spot, they'll still only ever recommend you buy bitcoin.
Hey the more implementations the better but I think I'll stick to the implementation that doesn't have a single dev pushing changes only peer reviewed by himself straight to master, but to each their own :)
Wow really seems like the fixthefilter people are the next bcashers. Using nearly the exact same playbook. Looking forward to their follow up book after "Hijacking Bitcoin" called "Spamming Bitcoin". Maybe we'll even get an airdrop but they likely don't have the balls to fork off like Ver did.
When you use bitcoin-only products and services you strengthen the network.
When you use altcoin products and services, you weaken it.
How would you like bitcoin to improve?
Cat/CatVM to improve bitcoin as an application platform
or
CTV/LNhance to improve bitcoin as a money
Personally I prefer the latter.
26 devs have now voiced their opinion for covenant upgrades to bitcoin.
So far CTV is the only op code to not have any one left evaluating it which makes sense since it's the most mature. CTV also has the least amount of "No"s without any "Evaluating"s.
If you're a bitcoin developer and haven't voiced your opinion yet we'd really appreciate it so the community can be as informed as possible.
Soon we'll be moving on to additional stake holders.
