Agreed. But then again, the opposing side also turned their stance surprisingly quickly into a hill-to-die-on mode.
Vocal parties on either side acted like monumental dickheads (still are? Haven't been following the soap opera in a while.)
And I don't care who was the first dickhead.
It is strange that this became a thing that everybody is willing to make a stand on.
I think it comes down to each side feeling there is a threat to an essential aspect of bitcoin: the BIP 110 side sees spam as a threat to node runners, the Core side sees overly strong spam mitigation efforts as a threat to Bitcoin's incentive structure (hmm, that isn't quite right when I say it: what I mean is Bitcoin's" game theory" but that phrase gets used so widely as to be almost without meaning).
What's done is done.
the most monumental threat to bitcoin is this whole fucktard conflict manufactured by god knows who to split the community that is already incapable to agree on anything even further.
People who's intellectual capacity doesn't reach further than being able to spell BIP110 on their best day all of the sudden have opinions on things that have have more layers and 2rd, 3rd... n-th order consequence because a deepshit podcaster they happen to be listen to in an attempt to get some personality into the empty shell of their existence.
I hope this entire conflict is a psyop because otherwise this community is more retarded than anyone could imagine in their worst nightmare.
"Bitcoin is for retards" is not a bad slogan.
I think this wouldn't have happened if the changes in core were not pushed so agressively.
