That’s not what this is about and you know it.

From my pov people are finally seeing reason after sleeping on this issue for the past 2 years.

“Knots nodes don’t matter” “You are not technical enough to understand” “You’re falling for social media campaigns based on lies” “You’re unreasonable” This is how Bitcoin politicians will speak one day from the stand. It’s almost comical seeing it happen that early, and on Nostr of all places. View quoted note →

You don’t see why Knots affects you? That blindness is the problem. Knots exists because Bitcoin Core has grown complacent, insulated, and too comfortable dictating the “one true path.” Knots is a check on that power — a living reminder that consensus doesn’t come from a handful of maintainers or their curated narrative, but from the network of individuals who refuse to bow to central dogma. You call it “social media campaigns based on lies.” We call it people waking up. Waking up to censorship. Waking up to the quiet slide into gatekeeping. Waking up to the fact that the cathedral you’re building on top of Bitcoin is not Bitcoin itself. Knots doesn’t need your permission, your blessing, or your approval. It runs because people run it. It matters because it refuses to kneel. If you’re so sure it “doesn’t affect you,” then why the defensiveness? Why the dismissive tone? Because deep down you know: every Knots node is a rejection of monopoly, a refusal to swallow the narrative spoon-fed by Core. We’re not here to ask nicely. We’re here to remind you that Bitcoin is not yours to guard, curate, or brand. It belongs to all of us — and Knots is proof that your grip is slipping.
