He tried to hijack Bitcoin. He literally tried to hijack everything he could. That said, core30 was a direct result of input from Epstein. Core is compromised and pretending they aren't does nothing to fix the problem. Instead of trying to downplay Epsteins involvement why don't you run a node and help prevent people like Epstein from turning the chain into some kind of illegal media hosting service for pedos. Be part of the solution instead of pretending there's no problem.

How is core30 a direct result of input from Epstein? I don't see coherent arguments coming from the anti-core crowd. If anything, Knots financial backers, Ocean, should be looked at much more closely. The ones championing individual miners are creating a situation where big miners could break mempool price discovery with a centralized API (Mara's slipstream). The only counter argument I see from anti-core people is to downplay the significance of that. So price discovery, the raison d'etre of free markets, is not important?
