I’m a node on the network.

Do you truly hold the opinion that only code contributors should get to decide how bitcoin is shaped into the future? Like the huge number of people that are invested in it and have helped bitcoin achieve its current valuation are just completely disposable and any dev that submits code is instantly more correct and has truer and higher virtues and couldn't possibly be wrong about anything? You might be bloody clever JB, but you're proving that does not automatically make you wise.

If someone holds their life savings in bitcoin they've effectively contributed all the value they've created for others that that savings represents. You may think the opinions of relatively non technical users don't matter but that's just showing us how naive and arrogant you are. The code is nice and all but without people staking their life savings on it its just fancy theoretical software on someone's computer, normie bitcoiners are what make bitcoin valuable not Peter Todd's amazing coding skills.

Your contribution to Bitcoin seems to be a focus on centralising the blockchain. You understand that forcing node runners to spend more money on storage, while also opening the blockchain up to illegal content is not going to help Bitcoin right? Like seriously why? Can you give a single reason for why you support this? All the people arguing against it have valid reasons and their reasoning makes sense. So far the only reasoning I've seen for supporting core is to accuse others of being pro censorship. Well yeah, actually I do believe that child porn should be censored. Bitcoin is money, put that garbage on a different blockchain
