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.

Short clip and followup yesterday from the studio. When I said Core V30 would increase the attack surface and threat sector to Bitcoin I was attacked. Now that V30 failed-and resulted in loss of Bitcoin for some-where are those mouthpieces for Core? Lopp. Calle. Shinobi. Back. Livera. Remember the "adults in the room" telling us you couldn't trust Knots? Or Luke, or Mechanic. Now, V30 has been pulled. Failed. 200 developers and yet it released with numerous bugs. One fatal to some legacy wallets. Luke Dashjr Softfork Mechanic #BIP-110 Matthew R. Kratter #BIP-110 The Bitcoin Boomers

Run knots. I've never said Core V30 would destroy Bitcoin. But it DOES increase the attack surface and threat vectors to node runners and thus the network. Core is compromised. They are incompetent and their fucking around with Bitcoin is why we are where we are today.

OPRETURN increases the threat surface and attack vectors to Bitcoin. Full stop. Core has caused this controversy. They failed to build alignment and consensus within the community for such an drastic change. They need to fix this. And soon.

People are wondering why Bitcoin legend Adam Back is pro-spam and maintaining the stance that Core V30 is harmless. The answer is quite obvious. As CEO of blockstream, and heavily tied with Liquid Network, he earns part of his income with people minting spam. Illustrated:

Core is intentionally opening the door for Bitcoin to become more like Ethereum. This is the stated intent of Core developers. They want to “future proof” any use case that wants to be developed on Bitcoin. I’m sorry but I do not want Bitcoin to become Ethereum.

There is so much demand for Bitcoin yield and Bitcoin collateral. Core will be tied to the products capturing that demand. Whether building them ourselves or partnering with teams, the Bitcoin Power Grid will sit at the center. ⚡️

I'm a narrow minded, gate keeping, BITCOIN MAXI. Bitcoin Core is corrupt. Incompetent. A walled garden. The elite. Communication? Is Gloria even a maintainer now? Why does she get to nominate a clone of herself as a maintainer? The failed V30? Crickets. Studying Bip110

🚨THE "10/10 CRASH" WAS A DISTRACTION A 15% weekly drawdown is normal for Bitcoin. Liquidation cascades happen constantly and do not cause long-term weakness. The real issue is quantum risk and the shift in institutional behavior that followed.
