#Bitcoin Core™️ is Woke and I’m tired of pretending it’s not. Part of what makes it woke is its pretense of meritocracy, full spectrum adversarial thinking, and accountability to forces outside of the core cohort. Node Wars aside, Core™️ needs to be thoroughly assessed for competency and mission fidelity. This is merely part of the ‘rough consensus’ process, and it’s inevitable that it would come to this. ‘The purpose of a system is what it does’, and here we are. It’s time to vet Core™️ for it’s strengths and weaknesses, and rough-and-tumble like, choose a better solution… …Which is what we are doing. Onward. Vote with voice, node implementation and pocketbook. image

You might not care, but the term "woke" co-opted by mainstream media to mean superficial, and lazy careless concern by organizations, should return to its original meaning of awareness with knowledgeable discourse, and call the organizations out on their bullshit directly, this way it's allows a constructive conversation into the necessary changes that would improve the organization or justify it's dissolution.

Grievance incentive and the undermining of meritocracy for quota driven social engineering. Yes, I care. These are some, not all, of the incentives that animate Core™️. And given the ‘rough consensus’ process that governs a decentralized network like Bitcoin. It’s inevitable. Decentralized input from disparate actors tallied in aggregate is the way forward. Therefore, our individual contributions do matter and must be weighed in order for the governance system to take into account vital, contrarian opinions. I am of the opinion that Bitcoin should persist primarily as a decentralized monetary network, open to everyone. As a corollary, we will always be fighting for that mission. As it should be. Anyone who has spent time in a fighting gym knows rough consensus comes with pain and perpetual struggle. There are no woke appointments or champions. We fight. Not opt-out, but fight.
