Let’s do a quick thought experiment. Imagine a government wants to attack Bitcoin. What could they do? They can compromised a number of developers. The developers could start slowly degrading Bitcoin. They could change the definition of Bitcoin being "digital currency that uses peer-to-peer technology" to just be a "peer-to-peer network". They could change the definition of the datacarriersize. Using that as argument they could deny fixing the inscriptions spam. Then they could use the inscriptions spam as an argument that spam is unstoppable so they better blow up OP_RETURN and invite even more spam. Just like BSV did after which someone uploaded CSAM to the BSV blockchain.

Let’s do a quick thought experiment. Imagine a government becomes opposed to how certain people are using Bitcoin. In response, it establishes its own Bitcoin node software, launches a mining pool, and introduces a soft fork—claiming that anyone who resists this fork is supporting illegal activity. Would you support this soft fork?

That’s exactly how it would be done…….. It would be done in sly round about way………. Inscriptions spam was introduced inadvertently and now it is held up high as freedom tech……. They think we forgot…….

Wait, you forgot the part where @ODELL and other "bitcoiners" create posts that suggest your logic is flawed, just drama, confusing, crazy and or morally wrong to agree with. Government attack? I don't think they're that clever.

Coincidence?

See the compromised Core devs who rejected Luke's PR that fixes inscription spam. They are the bad actors (the NACKers) They revealed themselves with their public comments on OP_RETRUN being dishonest and manipulative. The guys that ACKed are the good guys we have.

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28408 https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/29187 Bitcoin Knots has fixed those issues.

True but I am not sure how many of them are compromised and how many are just useful tools or brainwashed like sheep. I definitely see a number of bad actors like Jameson Lopp, Shinobi and others but not sure for some though their actions and communications speak volumes.

You're kinder than I am. Brainwashed or paid, I struggle to sympathise with the former. The brainwashed plebs aren't so innocent either...it's influencer worship and lacks critical thinking. Meanwhile, I appreciate you being here, legend.

Out of the many many retarded pro core posts over the last year, this was one of the worst.

I was surprised to see it. In the same negative way I was surprised about Adam Back and Andreas. Or the level of retardation majority of Coretards devs have fallen. That would be expected behavior from Shinobi, shitcoinmagazine and all who gravitate around it, David Bailey, Jameson Slopp and other bad actors like them. But slowly I am starting to expect everything and not get that surprised. Corruption unveils the worst from people. We just need to resist the bad actors and fight for the good causes - fix the money, fix the world.
