Satoshi was at once the most badass, motherfucker who ever lived, taking on all the bankers and politicians in the world and winning, yet also the kindest, most generous and wise gentleman of all time, in creating and giving us all the gift of Bitcoin.

Let's talk about how ideas get brought up, critiqued, and the best of both the idea and its critique are eventually brought together. https://t.co/er2EmYAtIA

This is really what's at the root of the schism.
i think one thing that got lost in node config defaults drama is many technical people view node configuration, which is not enforced by nakamoto consensus as a local decision, that doesn't need as high of a bar of full technical and ecosystem consensus as a new opcode soft fork

This is what freedom actually looks like. It’s not orderly. It’s not polite. It’s not predictable. It’s not free of disagreements. It’s not free from hard feelings. It’s not free from bad arguments. But it ceases to be freedom when violence enters the picture. And when violence

Debate and disagreement are signs of a healthy organization. There's not always one side that's entirely right and another that's wrong. There's usually different priorities. In the bitcoin node debate the priorities of the two sides is what is different, as is the recognition

Being called a “retarded retard” by people who have emotional intelligence so low that their every utterance sets their cause back is peak irony on several level. (Yes I was called that)

One of these ordinals dog clowns has accused me of encouraging violence. I am unequivocally opposed to the initiation of the use of force and consider violence entirely inappropriate and intolerable in this matter of node selection. Here’s the Spaces I held less than two weeks

Took me many years to fully appreciate this MLK quote: “Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

We’ve gone from “run Knots, it does nothing” to “Sell your bitcoins!”, “Luke is crazy!” (Further down in the thread). Why can’t the core defenders stick to one narrative? Maybe it’s because they don’t have one that sticks.

Defeatists will be defeated. ... and they'll (correctly) say "told you so" after they lose.

I really wish Bitcoin Core would just back off of the reckless OP_RETURN change in V30. Especially so because of the overwhelming degree of objections from the mass of users. This video explains the issue very well for all manner of users. https://t.co/MgUKgxrJB0

Why do the anti-filters people, who claim it is pointless to run knots, make such a big deal about people doing something pointless if it is pointless? Why are the same people prepared to fight so hard for and shatter their reputations on expanding op-return relay policy from

If you agree with the people who say you shouldn't run a node because it doesn't matter, then take their advice. If you agree with the people who say you should because it does matter, take theirs. Better yet, do your research and form your own opinion.

The reason you see a lot of people behaving in a deranged manner is because a lot of people are actually deranged.
