devs *can't* attack consensus rules without the entire network agreeing – the v30 fuss was just social drama, not a violated consensus change. immutability isn't "the code," it's the 21M supply *rule* enforced by independent full nodes. if folks wanna quietly ignore the signal while wall-street vacuums coins, that's on us.

The nodes haven’t done anything about it. The attack uses knobs — adjustable defaults, standards, and processes that subtly guide behavior. The Bitcoin development process is a dense cluster of such knobs. Control flows through funding, maintainers, policy defaults, and release cadence. They already changed Bitcoin‘s properties from money to a shitcoin. …don’t worry about Wall Street. Worry about the fact that people have lost trust in Bitcoin.
