I dont know luke or his motives. I’m just a dude who runs nodes, stacks sats and cares deeply about sound money for my kids and eventual grandkids.
My dive on this indicates that a byproduct of his proposed changes…or reversions to legacy btc if you will, make it easier for node runners to spin up nodes around the globe….making node centralization less likely. If that makes him a statist ….🤷♂️ .
Bitcoin was always rules, not rulers. If you dont want rules at all you’re advocating some sort of protocol relativism…maybe one day the 21M cap becomes inconvenient to you, so that rule should be tossed too?
The node runners will vote. Name calling and accusing influencers and developers of misaligned incentives is useless and impossible. The ethos and rules of bitcoins future is up to the nodes.
