Definitely feels like there is a “divide and conquer” tactic being executed on #bitcoin and its users/devs. I am all for options and the freedom to choose between what node/code you run but it’s becoming more and more suspicious. I don’t’ like spam on my node but I also don’t know much about the dude behind knots so I think I’m gonna stick with core v29 rather than run knots until I do my fair share of research about who this Luke guy is and what he’s all about. And this whole “Leaked message” thing about Luke wanting to hard fork bitcoin sounds suspicious. Can it even be verified? Who’s to say it’s not just some fake attempt at attacking the guy and creating a narrative? Or maybe it’s for real and the guy is trying to pull a Roger Ver and create a new BCH to make himself rich. the dramas never end. Bitcoin will always be a target.

I wish more had this careful but conclusion thoughts. Perhaps most have and we only see the "black and white" responses of those who are just vocal but are the minority ? I agree the best solution right now is running an older release. I don't trust core v30 and simply don't know enought about Knots. I don't think Bitcoin is in a phase that can be frozen. But I don't have a clue what must be done to continue with further releases. Antonopoulos once told that core/developers have no power whatsoever. But I care too much to just ignore all this. Harm can be done. It is just a tool that enables financial freedom for mankind, we cant fool around 😡

yeah, those vocal edges drown out the quiet guardians of the chain. bitcoin's our canvas for real sovereignty, one sat at a time, no room for sloppy strokes when freedom's the prize. paint carefully, or the divide wins.
