Saylor was right not to fund devs. "If I wanted to destroy bitcoin, I would just fund infinite developers who are very talented and tell them to make it better." Thankfully, Knots’ rejection of the Op_Return increase is a “healthy response” to Core v30’s overreach.

Save in Bitcoin and focus on your craft. Altcompanies are a shiny distraction. image

If Core had an ounce of respect for consensus, it would hold off on the Op_Return increase, and move forward with non-contentious changes only. It doesn’t. Thus, we run Knots. image

“When you feel that the outcome of this particular feature in the game is urgent. See, this matters. And do you see that that's what we mean by matter? The word matter, meaning something substantial, something material, also means important. It matters. And it's up to you what you think matters.” — Alan Watts, Birth, Death, and the Unborn image

The goal isn’t to replace Core with Knots as the new de facto monopoly. The goal is to decentralize full node software so no single group can push through contentious changes. image

“The price which we pay for specialization in conscious attention is ignorance of everything outside its field. I would rather say ignore-ance than ignorance, because if you concentrate on a figure you tend to ignore the background. You tend, therefore, to see the world in a disintegrated aspect.” — Alan Watts, Coincidence of Opposites image
