My main point against bitcoin core is: Even if I was wrong, and the developers could somehow know that this change is going to improve the network, they are pushing through it. There is a high resistance towards this change inside the community (this thread would not exist otherwise), yet the change has been pushed anyway. No matter how good the change could be, this should not be how changes are made into a money system that depends on stability.

The changes being made opens bitcoin to an enormous attack surface with the pretext of making it able to do… what you can already do with any other coin like ethereum or solana? The core development team is pushing for a change that no one really needs unless their goal is to downgrade bitcoin to the same level as other expensive (to the computer) systems. This + the change being made against a significant part of the community (around 25%) raises a LOT of alarms inside my head. Bitcoin could be under a sophisticated attack made by people who want to break with its decentralisation.
