It's easy to think you're the good guy when you're on the side of power.
Critics of power see a very different world.
Continue criticizing, and you'll eventually reach the same conclusion as the big blockers did years ago.
Bitcoin was actually hijacked by Bitcoin Core via Blockstream. The conspiracies were true, and it likely connects to an even greater conspiracy involving establishment financial/political powers.
I look forward to the day where small blockers can honestly look in the mirror and say "Were we the baddies?"
There's still something we can do about it.
Never would I have believed five years ago that I would be attacked, smeared and harassed by Adam Back, Shinobi, MrHodl and others for publishing a fully sourced investigation article about Bitcoin Core governance.
It doesn't quite feel compatible with the whole "don't trust, verify" and decentralization mantras.
It really is an unbelievable state of affairs. Appeals to authority, shaming, ad hominems, smears.... Zero engagement with the imo shocking revelations of the articles.
