nick-szabo has never contributed changes to bitcoin core. Neither have armantheparman nor supertestnet. jimmysong has never contributed production code to bitcoin core; only test coverage. All the people you have mentioned, besides Luke (even Shinobi and Adam Back) are ancillary thinkers, commentors or coders who have no proven pedigree for maintaining Bitcoin.

And here's the thing -- I LIKE ALL THOSE PEOPLE. I like them for what they have to say and also for what they have done with their projects that support and enhance people's usage of Bitcoin. I agree with them that spam is degenerate usage of Bitcoin and it would be PREFERABLE that it didn't exist. But that's very different than an existential crisis.

Nick Szabo, the intellectual father of blockchain thinking (Bit gold, smart contracts, digital scarcity, trust minimization, adversarial thinking) and according to some of Bitcoin itself, has never contributed to Bitcoin *CORE*, therefore he’s a retard that doesn’t understand and it’s not qualified to lean on spam. YOU LITERALLY CANNOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP 🤦‍♂️ View quoted note →

That’s one of the lamest cope posts I’ve read on Nostr for a while. Maybe it’s the norm on X, I wouldn’t know. Either way it’s pathetic.
