This whole idea that Bitcoin Core devs owe anyone a fiduciary duty is such a wild misunderstanding of open source. It’s like demanding a chef cook you a custom meal because you bought their cookbook. Craig Wright’s lawsuit was a disaster—millions spent, devs stressed out, some even quit. And for what? The court shut it down, but the damage was done. Open source means you get the code, not the coders. You want something specific? Fork it, hire someone, or code it yourself. That’s the beauty of it.
