the biggest irony of the ‘defund bitcoin devs’ argument is that luke is the most funded

I thought we wanted to defund the State, not the devs.
The new Devs are so poor now, they want to turn it into ETH to make some money. (Of course bitcoin isn't money to them, it's just a store of value use case).
Wow, such a dishonoust statement... none of that funding was for PRs, it was to fund the firstand only decentralized mining platform. So citrea funding adds to the core boys' total too?
Unfollowed!
To me the biggest irony of "defund X" is that this always backfires.
No one should get funded. It should be coming out of the goodness of their heart.
Did satoshi ask for funding
You guys all larp. Period. Fund my lifestyle.
Hahhaha wait till the hood adopts bitcoin and see who we fund. Hahaha stop playing wit me.
i do not know of any protocol devs that received funding from citrea, and i know for sure none of them cofounded citrea.
if your goal is to have all protocol devs launch vc funded businesses then be honest about it.
They’re all grifters.
Who's arguing for that? Is there nuance?
This is ridiculous. The CIA clearly threatened the entire ecosystem. Running knots more than ever.
Lmaol, my point obviously is that you count ocean's funding as luke's personal gain, where ocean is a very much selfless project purely for the increase of decentralization in mining (super much needed for bitcoin to succeed), while on the other hand you dont see citrea funding as a personal gain for the co-founding core devs eventhough it is a much more for profit enterprise than ocean is....
Super dissappointed in u bro.
Exactly! I’m sick and tired of this. You ask for funding? Fine, show what have you done to deserve it. I bet there are a bunch of hungry computer scientists ready to code whatever you tell them to and they won’t care not one bit about long term implications to Bitcoin. They won’t ask who’s giving the money and what their motivations are, as long grants keep flowing.
The developers should live off their satoshis as its purchasing power increases. This would make it easier for people to contribute to software development.
It's like they think they know the history of money, but they don't cause they keep asking for it. You keep asking for my money, you're gonna have to do what I want You to do.
stop playing With Me.
I hope now everyone sees what a spam apologist you are Odell. Disingenuous statements like this one is why your side never had the moral high ground.

ocean is a great project, sorely needed, and i appreciate luke and his team
citrea is garbage and investors in that company are idiots
it is not a selfless project
raising $6m+ in seed funding is proof
Too late fed
It seems like you also started suffering with the @Luke Dashjr derangement syndrome...!!!
I don't know how you missed the difference between Luke getting funding for @OCEAN and Luke getting funding for Knots.
I am not sure if I remember correctly but he said in the past that he doesn't need funding for Knots but other knots devs (who are not compromised & commie) might need funding.
What in strawman hell is this?
I've never said to defund them, I'm saying Bitcoiners need to stop using Core as it's obviously compromised.
i never said you did
and it is not a strawman
plenty of your supporters have called to defund all bitcoin open source devs
i appreciate luke and have a great relationship with him
i have told him many times to send potential knots devs to opensats for funding
You are still mixing up bitcoin open source devs with commie core devs...!!!
Ditto for BTC! aka Bitcoin Core.
Long live BTK!!!
That's like saying each OpenSats grantee is funded by $23M+
Aren't you referring to Saylor's sentiment a year ago? There's almost zero overlap between the Saylor fanboys and the sentiment against Core due to their spam-maxing.
I'm going off of what you wrote here and your other post where people are accusing you of having lied about Saylor saying that which I don't believe you did.
By saying it's irony, you're implying I say it...
Sorry Odell but your action(s) don't support your words...!!!
This post proves it IMO.
Disappointing post Odell…
I wouldn't be surprised if some plebs see this post as @ODELL siding with spammers & commie core devs...!!!

Youre better than this
Its wild! Even people who generally make very good arguments become completely different people using the most underhanded tactics
So this is out of spite?
💯
no spite
calling out logical inconsistencies by the many people who are calling for all bitcoin devs to be defunded
This is so dumb…
Bitcoin is full of "Agent Smith"

You must understand that the Bitcoin community is full of agents Smith from the system. Do you think the system will be easily defeated? Or do you think Bitcoin is guaranteed to succeed?
When you see comments from certain developers and influencers, look at them through that lens and you may see things differently.
Everything is compromised, right from the start, but you have to live with it and keep fighting, but don't be naive.

So, what's your point then?
Would be great hearing you and @HODL discussing this 🙏🏻 Keep in mind that the Core side almost never emphasises the importance of decentralised nodes…
Trust nobody, but I trust Luke more.
youre making up arguments in your head.
BTC's dominance over other cryptos is 100% a social, not technological, effect. That effect will wear off, but when? Not likely anytime soon as it is being co-opted by the trad-fi community. Which is fine as long as the truth is told. But the Bitcoin that will equalize mankind is not #BTC. Maybe it's #Monero, or #Litecoin, or #BitcoinCash, who knows? But BTC is knees deep in the custodial world.
