Bitcoin Core V30 RANT. Core V30 increases the attack surface for Bitcoin, and will expose it to more threats long term. The conversation has drifted to an endless argument about spam and filters. THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE. Enter at your own risk. Language not suitable for kids.

George is the zeitgeist.

It seems clear that this threat vector is being introduced intentionally. I hate to bring politics into it. But it has the same feeling of open borders. The dev team is compromised. This issue should be getting much more attention.

Great talk man. These are the words we need to hear.

$KAS literally fixes this.

Great and necessary rant. Yes George, we, the bitcoin monetary maxis, are gonna win. Followed.

Great message George

Great message! No compromises though. Citrea won’t use OR even if it goes through.

God I LOVE THIS

Great message. Thanks for asking Saylor the question!

@JAWSnAZ "Bitcoin is money" 🫡 Hope Core really pays attention.

Come hop on a Spaces, cause literally everything you said on here is inaccurate.

Well said, I’m not going to participate in relaying illicit material. Very transparent ploy so they can get the Feds can go after node runners imo. Running knots.

Core is compromised, go Knots.

imho, Core devs have an arrogance and misguided nonchalance about these v30 changes betraying that they perhaps lack the wisdom and discernment that come with age in Earth years, and a wider perspective of Bitcoin in the world economic order, and threat vectors against it.

Amazingly put my great friend. The Blocksize war 8 years ago was won by the node runners. The same thing should happen this time round, and running a node today has never been easier with @start9labs it’s literally plug and play. No excuses any more everyone that believes in the power of freedom Bitcoin gives you, it would be a sin not to. And finally on the choice of which client to run, that is entirely up to you, that’s one of the beauties of Bitcoin that you are not obliged to do anything someone else wants. But with that comes great responsibility, not to mess up the greatest monetary system in human history. Separate money from the state was the Cypherpunk vision and it still is. The tools are already here and many more being built right this moment. I’ll leave you with one final quote which is dear to my heart: “Hope dies last.”

It doesn't make sense - unless Core is compromised, then it makes complete sense.

The problem is I don't think calling them to common sense is going to work. They WANT to destroy it. They just can't come out and say it.

Core cannot compromise, because Core is compromised.

More Rant-George! 💪❤️

I hope this goes viral

core users/developers have no bitcoins. knots users/developers have some bitcoins. biggest difference. We are with you

👏

Still with you George. Makes total sense.

Thanks George it needed to be said. I don’t know why Core is rushing V30 like this, unless they are compromised. Strength in numbers! #RunKnots

a. you look and sound retarded as fuck b. welcome to open source money, noone asked for your opinion or gives a shit c. start over and learn how bitcoin works d. you clearly do not understand what data is and how its stored e. core is gay, you are gayer

instant follow!

Only conclusion They are being paid (in paper) To NOT understand Bitcoin is fixing this

We dealing with pedos, literally.

From the heart. Thank you, George! 🙏

I am a node runner now since a week. Knots.

Can’t you understand the UTILITY that this will bring. Bitcoin will be like Ethereum 🤡

Agreed, all I see is risk but very little reward. Maybe some intelligent Core supporters can explain where the upside is, because I don’t see it.

Feelings. Fear. Uncertainty. Doubt. This is the source of all the mental anguish expressed by these midcurve Luddites They need an enemy - a witch to burn at the stake So they direct their ire at the core developers who have dedicated their best work to maintaining, improving, and protecting Bitcoin - the thing we all love. I’m glad people care about Bitcoin, but Bitcoin doesn’t care about your fear. Blockspace is bitcoin’s gift to the world. But this gift doesn’t come for free. It’s paid for in a self regulating fee market. Bitcoin doesn’t need you to try and save it by bullying the people who have contributed the most to making Bitcoin what it is today. I’m referring to the core devs and the people who build on it. Whether it’s the creator of lightning, citrea, or ordinals. Whether is a nobody buying a jpeg or an artist inscribing one. These people have done more to build up Bitcoin than loudmouths who buy and hoard it. And then wish to control how others use it.
