*Verschlimmbessern* is a German verb that means to make something worse while trying to improve it. It combines *verschlimmern* (to worsen) and *verbessern* (to improve), capturing the idea of an attempt at enhancement that backfires, resulting in a poorer outcome. For example, trying to fix a minor issue but creating a bigger problem in the process.
Now the question is, why is Gigi (npub1der…xzpc) thinking about this word? Does it have to do with endless debates about bitcoin core? Is about the EU? Or many other things that are ongoing currently in parallel…
