Bitcoiners are the only users of open source software who act threatened by forks of that software.
The US government has declared Bitcoin to be essential to national security, and has therefore taken control of the Bitcoin Core GitHub repo. All PRs must be federally approved.
I've been saying for a few years that this is exactly what is going to happen. There will be lists of approved and unapproved addresses. The major mining pools will discard your Tx from their mempool. They will also orphan blocks from smaller rogue miners that don't comply with the controls. View quoted note →
Mass adoption is a stupid dream because people are stupid. Shakwanda living in the projects is never going to run a node or understand Bitcoin. Bitcoin is always going to be somewhat elitist.
I built what was at the time a fairly high end PC in January 2020. I pray that this rig keeps going strong, because to build an equivalent one today would cost a lot more. Who knew having 64 GB of RAM would become a luxury?
