Cyph3rp9nk31d agoThe leader of a project like Bitcoin has to be an incorruptible fucking autistic who doesn't give a shit about hurting other people's feelings and who doesn't give a shit about what they say about him.
And, of course, someone who is very far removed from the fiat system and has a visceral hatred for it.
What we have now in Core are only weak men and women who don't believe 100% in Bitcoin. No one who doesn't live a 100% Bitcoin life should be a Core maintainer.

Tauri31d agoWhat post he’s referring to? I also prefer filter over BIP110, but unfortunately the majority of node runners disagree. And filters only work at scale.

volition31d agoFrom the perspective that Bitcoin actually is a fiat currency, on the basis a group of developers controls it via their power of implementation - create, influence, veto - and each time the network is used a transaction must be accepted by the network, then having a head, or chairperson, is not out of the question.
Perhaps the system is already set up to allow this. Note in UK politics for long periods there is no single person out rightly a moral leader, however in times of stress the system allows for it, and those such as Winston Churchill rise up.
Bitcoin Core (BTC) lives in a competitive environment and if the key developers get it wrong, it will lose its dominance. Key competitors right now are Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Etherium (ETH) and Solana (SOL). Also emerging are CBDC’s.
