Bitcoin is more than English-speaking Bitcoin Twitter

I talked to a friend yesterday who runs his own Bitcoin and Lightning node. He didn't know about the Core-Knots drama. He doesn't use Twitter, just occasionally checks the mailing list. He just laughed when I told him what people are getting riled up about these days—the good old child porn argument (Grammarly just suggested I replace my full stop with an em-dash~~), and the fabricated US-flavored woke/anti-woke rift between the two factions.
Do you know people into Bitcoin around you that don't know (or don't care) about this (imo) non-event? I'd like to not care, but I'm a sucker for this kind of drama, so I end up reading up on it whenever I see some post about it.

He's not much into any type of social media. At least, that's what he says. I've mentioned SN before, so maybe he did join under a nym without telling me. He values privacy more than I do. His profile matches @optimism's very much in terms of his knowledge and thoughts on AI and its limitations, but I'd say that's probably the case with most people seeing through the VC-bullshit narrative.

It tried to frame you as a chatgpt poster!
To answer your question, not many bitcoiners around me who are aware seem to be that worried. I'm not sure if it's because they don't understand or care about the debate. A few technically minded folks that come to mind seem to be aware but busy with other things they have more impact with (building, networking, getting involved in other ways like meetups etc.)

It would be nice to simply work on your craft, stack, save and spend where you can.
I've also been drawn into the drama as I think its important to have an opinion on which direction Bitcoin goes. It's just unfortunately time consuming.

Many true Bitcoiners aren't focused on social media hype; they simply have their node, dedicate themselves to studying, and sometimes to mining. And they already know they're helping to build the money of the future.

There's nothing better than that peace of mind. I suppose that in a bitcoinized economy those dramas will be very local and hardly spread among the non-custodial masses.

Maybe everyone around us is already using Bitcoin... meaning they don't really care about Core vs Knots.
And we just don't even know it.
