> "lalala, I'm running v30, haha, fuck you peasant!" I don't think they’re saying this. The implied message is “we don’t have the time to develop and maintain Bitcoin and discuss changes with a mob of people on social media influenced by hysterical rhetoric. We’ve dealt with this before, back in the Bcash era, and it was only when we stopped engaging with this shit and pushed changes that it was finally shut the fuck up. Running the most nodes doesn’t determine what Bitcoin is. Core developers and miners are the consensus. Not people running a node.” This is the truth. You don’t like it? You need to get more hash power. That’s Bitcoin’s governance model. Not solving blocks? You have almost no say.
