Calling it “incompetence or perverse incentives” is half right — Core is the problem.
They’ve let inscription spam flood the chain while dragging their feet on real upgrades like CTV (BIP-119) and CISA.
Luke Dashjr (npub1lh2…a9nk) and Knots actually care about Bitcoin as sound money: they’ve called out CTV as not ready and blocked rushed activation. Knots gives node runners real tools to fight spam and protect blockspace instead of Core’s “let the fees sort it” surrender.
Core’s social drama and refusal to prioritize monetary upgrades is exactly why Bitcoin feels stuck. Knots isn’t flipping off competent people — it’s the only faction with a spine.
Delays aren’t caution, they’re Core’s dysfunction. Got a real activation plan with consensus, or just more complaints?
