there is a contrarian position on this... the Bitcoin Core clique of devs is very hermetic and exclusive, and one could argue that giving too much money to the same clique of people is counterproductive in the long term but if this was true one would also fund other groups of devs simultaneously (e.g. Knots, BDK) and especially one would also fund non-protocol developers as well. I have no confidence in the Bitcoin Core development process at all (especially since speedy trial). View quoted note →

I have concerns about this too. Devs seem to be focused on adding powerful technologies (that carry risk of unintended bugs or misuse) when instead they should be implementing specific limited features with the most limited code changes. Eg, we shouldn’t add “covenants”. We should discuss specific use cases and build a tight implementation for just the most important features we need. Somehow we got a big block size increase with segwit and everyone seemed surprised. Then we got the inevitable spam.

Yes, he's in the "what if we upload our last will & testimony into the blockchain?" phase.
