Thousands of devs contribute, sure, but meritocracy doesn’t mean every change is automatically aligned with Bitcoin’s original purpose.&#xA;&#xA;Community pushback (through discussion or running nodes like Knots) is part of the checks and balances, not “crying.”&#xA;&#xA;Dismissing philosophical concerns as technical ignorance misses the point: Bitcoin’s code serves its ideology, not the other way around. &#xA;&#xA;I’m happy to learn more about Core’s process, but let’s also discuss how changes preserve Bitcoin as decentralized money. How do larger OP_RETURNs align with that vision?</html></oembed>
