According to BlockBeats, the Bitcoin Core project states that the Bitcoin network is defined by its users, who can freely choose to run any software and policies. Bitcoin Core contributors have no authority to force users to follow specific rules.

Bitcoin Core software does not support automatic updates; all changes require user-initiated upgrades. This freedom is a safeguard against external coercion for Bitcoin.

Developers believe they have a responsibility to ensure that the Bitcoin Core software efficiently operates core functions: verifying and relaying blocks and transactions, supporting Bitcoin as a decentralized digital currency.

The trading relay strategy includes predicting the packaging of trades into blocks, accelerating block propagation, and helping miners to timely obtain transaction fees, avoiding reliance on external channels outside mining pools.
