That was mostly just for the laugh obviously. Serious point, though keep in mind I read screenshots and not the entire exchange. I'm in it for the revolution. As an outsider to your thoughts who is in it for the revolution... Taking payments to handle ETH and stablecoins as well as taking money from NFT people looks an awful lot like NGU prioritized over the revolution. I value some of the research you've done. I agree with you that attempting to filter arbitrary data from blocks is ultimately impossible, and I don't filter on my node or miners. I follow you here, but I always think a little harder before deciding my position about what you posted because I question your core drive. Your decisions that look like NGU over the revolution deserve to be side eyed by the revolution first crowd. The revolution first crowd should be allowed to share that context around your decisions so that others can make the most informed decision. For someone of your position in the community, people look to you. We can't all make fully informed fully technical decisions. You know this and this is why you share your opinions. Context of your other professional bitcoin and crypto decisions isn't slander if it is true. It is valuable information that helps the rest of us make sense of what thinking brought you to your decision. Trying to limit where people can share truthful context about you falls into the this guy kinda looks like a NGU first bucket to me. I like dedicated and helpful researcher Loop a lot more than NGU Lopp.

Your final paragraph sheds light on the misunderstanding. I'm not claiming anyone is slandering me nor am I silencing anyone; my investments are publicly disclosed at The moderation on Bitcoin Core pull requests is their WRITTEN POLICY, not mine. Rule #2: "Comments will be about ideas, not people."
Convenient to have that policy to stand behind. You have to admit the line between about the person and about the PR is a little blurry when your personal investments stand to go up significantly if your PR is merged. Who made the call on that shade of gray, you or a 3rd party?
