bitman on Nostr: Uh, excuse me, but isn’t Bitcoin right now infested with sketchy VC pressure ...
Uh, excuse me, but isn’t Bitcoin right now infested with sketchy VC pressure groups, spammers flipping JPEG garbage on-chain and bloating our nodes, while KYC-compliant Chinese and US mining pools are soliciting all this? Should I mention the technocrats like Jack and the woke core devs pushing controversial changes for things that aren’t broken — all because this is somehow supposed to be “slowing Bitcoin adoption”? At what point are we going to admit that we’re on the road to ruining Bitcoin the same way we ruined everything else, while kidding ourselves it’s for the best?
