i think this idea is overblown. people have been building malicious bitcoin changes since it was launched. whether it’s blackrock or roger ver, it only matters if we all run the software. the idea that we need to gate keep who provide no strings attached funding to developers i don’t totally understand blackrock can give developers 1 trillion dollars to change bitcoins supply from 21m. if we don’t update our nodes to that code it doesn’t matter. the real defense is all of us, not who funds devs

"us" is an imaginary ideal that you are creating, in reality most individuals are easily bribed and would happily trade their current node software for a bunch of fiat currency given a company like blackrock would direct them to do it. all it takes is them coopting the society which CLEARLY is already well under way. why would you be so ignorant about the social black-rock-washing of bitcoin unless you want it to happen faster?

Exactly. No need to gate keep. Node runners take care of the issue.
