The current largest systemic problem in Bitcoin is mining centralization. It’s the fact that we have millions of *hashers* and barely a handful of *miners* on the network.
There has been endless claims about solutions, but no project has done more, practically and explicitly, than nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze to start to turn this problem around.
If an opinion on op_return, or an abrasive remark, or some viewpoint difference has you dismissing or denying the fact that they are doing more than anyone else to solve this problem, then I’d argue you aren’t serious about Bitcoin.
I respect lots of people that I don’t agree with, and even many that I don’t even like, or whose personalities just rub me the wrong way. But I respect and recognize what they do for bitcoin, and realize that weird, angry, or antisocial contrarians are often those who do the most to balance groupthink. That’s often a big part of why I value them.
If you think there is another project doing more to solve this problem, I’m all ears. But right now I don’t see evidence of it. And I couldn’t care less what silly statements are made by anyone involved (and can point to an endless supply by anyone, including myself, if that’s what I wanted to focus on) as long as they continue moving the needle to solving Bitcoin’s greatest risk.
