125 sats \ 0 replies \ @optimism 20h \ parent \ on: Bitcoin devs cheer block reconstruction stats, ignore security budget concerns bitcoin
The impression I'm starting to get is that many bitcoiners got into it precisely because they're conspiratorially minded, not because of sound evaluation.
It's always been a significant subset that perhaps I too am part of myself (though I'd totes stroke ego and add: mildly), and we've seen high agency people (nearly/completely) lose it over the years as further evidence to this.
I imagine eventually this weakness will be exploited
The red-teamer in me says it's extremely likely that it already is being exploited under the radar, and the theorist-red-teamer in me says that this entire drama is an exploit.
I'll probably come back to this later because lots to unpack, but I have a coding gig delivery to do today
