insightful post indeed. "we knew the risks" is worse in my opinion than "we had no idea how bad we were fucking up" as it implies malice.

Core fucked up massively with segwit, then again with taproot, and now they won't even fix their filters or address their prior mistakes. Ego or malice, I'm not sure which. Either way core is not to be trusted.

The good news is that more people are realizing just how vulnerable Bitcoin is to the addition of new opcodes and softforks and are starting to gather around the idea that "if it aint broken, don't fix it". Meanwhile vain developers with small bitcoin stacks yearn to make a name for themselves by adding new bullshit to a perfectly functional network. And that's why I tell them to stuff their new opcodes up their asses. Nothing but an attack on bitcoin and deserves no debate on ridicule.
