Some people went on a wild conspiracy theory run about jpegs killing Bitcoin and fixing it by not removing the ability to put same jpegs in Bitcoin, but it's all about the signal. Other people went to fix 500+ high and critical security bugs in Bitcoin libraries and projects. They're not the same. Thank you Red Team!

The loudest Bitcoin work happens online. The most important Bitcoin work often happens quietly in the code. Huge respect to the Red Team.

Compare the "loudness". Incomparable.
Some node runners refused to host childporn on their nodes and tried to prevent it without understanding it wouldn't work without support from miners. Some scammers also used AI to hallucinate fake vulnerabilities in independent bitcoin software and spam their Devs with fake bug reports and try to destroy the publics trust in all independent Bitcoin Devs that are not funded by opensats. The fact that you see these are opposing groups really says a lot.
