If you’re begging for the state to surveil and criminally prosecute people who disagree with you, you’re on the wrong side of history.

Also, you're next.
Are you threatening me?
I sincerely can't tell if you're joking so no, I was alluding to the old "if you don't stand up for the persecuted, no one will stand up for you because by the time they get to persecuting you, everyone else will be gone" trope.
So my point was if you ask the state to surveil and hurt people who disagree with you, you're both on the wrong side of history (hopefully) and probably next in line when the machine is looking for new lives to destroy.
Like, who were the final victims of the Chinese "Cultural Revolution"? The very bands of violent students who started the revolution in the first place.
Appreciate the clarification — you’re right on the money and I couldn’t agree more.
Sorry to need to ask in the first place but with the level of discourse recently it’s hard to tell…
No problem at all, I love me a good bit of rambling. Political confrontations have become quite harsh in recent times, I just hope we're in for a great liberation rather than endless violence and chaos.
This is really dumb, very low level.
Absolutely dumb, this is one of the dumbest things I saw in the last weeks.
It’s very sad.

Having children and seeing what happened to BSV makes me very emotionally susceptible to the “Knots side” of this argument. That said, I realize my own knowledge handicap with these topics and am doing my best to reserve any judgements, one way or the other, until I am more confidently knowledgeable about the subject matter. Stay free, stay humble, touch grass, love much and keep stacking out there! And for those who do fully understand such topics, please “bring the sauce” whenever possible. Many of us are still early learners.
I’ve heard of toxic flame wars in the Linux dev world, but wow! that’s next-level! 😱
That’s really not cool
🤦♂️
"Separate the money from the state"
"Hey state, I need your help with my money"
Are we in a bull cycle by any chance?
Has Walker ever told the root cause of this "debate"?
Something about Citrea starting it?
Remember how Core CENSORED contributors, devs and other peoples opinion for just mentioning Citrea?
Remember Core supporters attacking Bitcoin Knots?
Walker and Core gaslighting is not the worst things. We already saw worse things.
But the truth is out ther, for example in this video ...

For someone like me, still figuring this out. For sure makes me wonder why you would make a post like this.
Doesn’t sound like he’s begging the state to do that, he’s just pulling the future into the present to make a point.
On the wrong side of a lot of things with move like that.
This is the disgusting shitcoin spammers business model.
Now they sell message storage on Bitcoin but you can see its capped to 80 Bytes (on OP_RETURN).
Do you wonder why? Becuase filters work.
Next they want it to 100 KB and start selling distributed storage for CSAM.
Its fucking disgusting.

Seems like CSAM will be the other FUD shoe to drop to try and regulate BTC. After the terrorism connection claim, it was only natural that "protect children" would come next. Always does.
Man…I wish I could crawl back under a rock and just turn on tv so I didn’t have to think about these arguments and consequences of the outcomes of these arguments…I’m a knots guy, but there are so many ways to critically think about all of this. Regardless of your side, I appreciate all of you helping my brain move further away from slave thought and closer to sovereign thought 🙂🙂👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Step 5 on deck
What exactly are you suggesting..?
I am also curious about this.
Well, that’s maybe inappropriate for today.
do you want me dead?
Figuratively. I want Bitcoin Core burned to the ground and rebuilt.
There’s no reason to push such obviously divisive changes without ulterior motives. The arguments just don’t add up.
who is going to rebuild it?
there are 100 core devs who contributed to core in the past 500 commits. your plan is to replace all of these devs familiar with the codebase with who exactly
all because a non-consensus parameter was tweaked, a parameter which has no affect on what gets into blocks. seems completely reasonable 🙄
Your comment was unnecessary toxic
If the circus that this has escalated into is the best those 100 devs could manage then they may as well be replaced with 100 monkeys.
The meritocracy is you refer to is broken. It’s a pool of entrenched insiders passing themselves gold stars.
You complain that non core people just don’t understand the technical nuances. But half the room is telling you YOURE GOING THE WRONG DIRECTION. But you’re deafened by your own collective arrogance.
You personally just sound like a drunken child throwing a tantrum.
Im not even a part of this discussions, but it's clear to me that you should have stayed away from it. This is a pretty amazing bad take. Crazy thing to compare. You should be ashamed.
Nothing is changing other than policy defaults, which are meaningless anyway if you look at sub sat feerates. Your comment is vile, to insinuate violence against devs because you do not understand how Bitcoin works and have been emotionally riled up by Bitcoin personalities is deplorable. Take time to reflect on your hatred.
Every single sentence in this post is incorrect.
Who are you trying to convince? Me?
It took me a minute to get what you mean with this picture. Notice literally every response thought you meant use the ropes on devs. This isn't productive. Stay sane, people.
Part of the reason Walker is becoming enemy #1 is because he is one of the few big podcasters who hasn't been going long enough to become audience captured and still thinks for himself.
Modern Bitcoin maximalism likes to think of itself as the white blood cells of the corpus but in reality it's more of a cancer that needs to be cut out for Bitcoin to grow.
