bitman on Nostr: Instead of writing retarded letters to retarded devs - some of whom allegedly don’t ...
Instead of writing retarded letters to retarded devs - some of whom allegedly don’t even run their own full nodes - you’d better start appealing to pleb node runners if you hope to follow through with your proposal. A few pieces of advice for your next letter, if you aim for it to be less retarded:
1. Read the room when you post it. Given the fuckery of shitcoin Core, maybe now’s not the best time.
2. Calling Bitcoin a “scarce, censorship-resistant store of value” instead of “money” implies one of two things: you’re either economically illiterate or a bad actor pushing a narrative.
3. Acting arrogant by dismissing non-technical plebs from the conversation will make it even harder to gather consensus for your upgrade.
