đ¨ Bitcoin Dev's "Trust Someone" Quote Sparks Chaos
A firestorm erupted after reports claimed Bitcoin Knots maintainer Luke Dashjr backed a hard fork to create a committee with power to censor transactions and alter the blockchain.
The alleged quote that started it all:Â "Either Bitcoin dies, or we trust someone."
Dashjrâs response? He called it a total fabrication, stating âThere is no hard fork.â
The drama highlights the core conflict:
Knots:Â Wants stricter rules to filter data like Ordinals.
Bitcoin Core:Â Advocates for a neutral, permissionless network.
Even his critic, Taproot Wizards' Udi Wertheimer, defended him, calling the report a "malicious hit piece."
This is a battle for Bitcoin's soul:Â neutrality vs. intervention.
