i didn’t say we need big money to support a change in the code i said we have a $1T+/future of money open source project and we should ensure we keep supporting it

I hear you bro. Your heart is in the right place. And, I’m realistic about the fact we can’t stop it anyway, but imho, having the fiat world throwing massive amounts of money at manipulating development of software that’s perfectly fine, is a risk to Bitcoin. We should at least recognize that. I personally like grass roots for core at this stage. Spend the money on adoption and L2.
