5) you are right, I’m definitely more comfortable in the ideological than the technical. I guess that like most in this debate I got scared as it seems like the technical is the only thing that matters and the ideological is not involved anymore. I think this is the main thing that got people up. But granted, I might be an idiot who is panicking over nothing because does not get the technical 100%, but I guess what worried some of us is a closeness and non-ideological approach. Lastly, btc cannot not be messy and confusionary (because it is open to everyone), and I hope we all get through this together. Sometimes I see the point that we should open the gate and let the market decide, that’s the way we should achieve consensus together, organically and without barriers. But then I get scared if the market decides for btc being a not monetary network, and if this happen I’ll lose faith forever in finally having a world of sound money and cooperation. Maybe I’m too emotionally involved in this and my feelings cloud my judgement. Anyway thanks a lot for the engagement man, much appreciated, and much love to you!

Thanks for engaging too! Like I said, we want the same thing. I also know what it's like to be scared for Bitcoin's future, because I lived through the block size war when it genuinely felt like bitcoin was headed towards its end. Then I spent all my free time following Craig Wright back when there seemed to be a chance he could actually win and make bitcoin development all but illegal. The fear and upset are real, because self-sovereign money is so important. We have this chance, and we must protect bitcoin at all cost. But with respect, you're overreacting in this case, and you're in good company, because this is being encouraged by certain people. I'm just a stranger on the internet, but I can tell you this with great conviction: if bitcoin goes bad, it will not be because of any changes Core makes to its OP_RETURN policy.
