The biggest difference to me between core and knots camps is time preference. Knots node runners want to see bitcoin succeed for hundreds of years, more and more decentralized. Core doesn't really give a fuck about node runners. They dont care if they ask them to do illegal things with their computers. They care more about miners and shitcoin companies. What camp do you want to trust? What camp will want larger blocks in the future? What camp will try to allow tail emissions for miners? -Core. Run Knots.

If forking bitcoin here, I would just drop the blocksize for knots. Prioritize knots nodes with smaller blocks. Prioritize knots nodes with no blantant CSAM. My guess is less blocksize would increase total fees to more than 4mb blocks now. (More competitive fee environment) It could help incentivize miners to the knots chain. No committee having to block CSAM. 2MB knots bitcoin as money chain vs. 4MB core CP retard jpeg chain. Lets see what happens.

This is EXACTLY what central bankers say about the people who use and trust their worthless fiat. Just replace the word bitcoin with dollar. This is how retarded he thinks bitcoiners are.

Im all for a fork. These different ideological camps will have to at some point. Not forking is only delaying the inevitable in my opinion. How many core nodes are claiming they "just wont update"? (They are saying they dont ideologically agree with core right now just too lazy to do something about it.) How many individuals would still run a core node if the network forks and their chain has CP littered in blocks? If one node runner gets arrested and charged? My guess is very few people would.

Core has lost the plot. They dont care about nodes. They dont care at all about the community. If they release this delusional update and the chain gets littered with CP. THEY should be legally held responsible for distribution and storage of CP. Not node runners. Them.

Lulled into an environment of "we are winning" might be the reason bitcoin ultimately fails. Regulations can and do switch at the flip of a dime. Governmental laws mean nothing. Morality is everything. Blatantly storing and propagating CP is not moral. Currently if a miner goes out of band and adds this data into a block, we can point at them and say "they did this." If someone inscribes an ordinal into a taproot transaction we can say "obviously not intended purpose and unreadable" Not after v30 and CP in very normal file types are in you're face and on your node. We are giving up the moral high ground for what exactly... shitcoiners? To help miners get paid more in fees? FOH.

Bitcoin influencers and plebs sitting on the fence about this op_return debate remind me of boomers indifference to the Federal Reserve and currency manipulation. "Just dont update your node" Kick the can harder. Good things are ruined one small step at a time. If you are too concerned about stopping drama because you want max fiat gains this cycle. Congratulations you are a fucking sell out.

If v30 gets released and opens op-return to anything. Do you really believe people won't put malicious JPEGs in there just to paint bitcoin in a negative light? If they do, do you think there will be more or less full nodes in 5-10 years? If bitcoins full node count isnt going up, but going down, is it safe to say that bitcoins protocol is becoming less decentralized and therefore... failing over time? How can a protocol gain the economic trust of individuals when it is slowly failing? And I do think, yes, bitcoin will still work, this won't do anything from a technical standpoint. It will only hurt the incentive to run a full node.

The whole point of bitcoin is to get every ounce of wealth as far as fucking possible away from the greedy little blood thirsty hands of the left. Conservatives need to wake the fuck up and realize that if they will kill you for open debate. They will rob you for much less.

These people dont have any principles or morals. They are here in mass and will dance on Graves of anyone who doesn't go along with their mindless rhetoric. They will justify your death with a smile on their face. They would take everything from you at the drop of a pin. If you dont believe it or get it, you might want to think a little harder before they rob you, rape you, and murder you. Sorry.
