First of all, thank you for sharing your perspective.
The point here isn’t about determining absolute right or wrong — but there are people in certain countries who depend on this system to survive, meaning their lives literally rely on that network.
So being “loyal” in that way isn’t necessarily wrong.

This is a mindless loyalty pledge like for a cult. You are brainlessly pontificating and philosophizing about basic realities that contradict you.

bitcoin is not bitcoin-core. 

bitcoin core is not sacred or guaranteed to survive.

🧱 In Bitcoin Core: My Way or the Highway

Bitcoin is a consensus protocol with rules, not rulers.

When a Bitcoin Core developer says “my way or the highway,” it’s not arrogance — it’s a commitment to immutability.

It means every change must follow logic, evidence, and network consensus — not individual ego or emotional majorities.

In the open-source world, “my way or the highway” doesn’t mean “I’m right, you’re wrong.”

“This is the code I write, based on the principles I believe in — and if you disagree, you’re free to fork.”

Forking isn’t punishment — it’s the purest expression of liberty.

Bitcoin has endured for 16 years not because it pleases everyone,

but you cannot force Bitcoin Core to betray its principles.

It doesn’t add convenience if that convenience weakens integrity.

“Run your node. Verify for yourself.”

The phrase “In Bitcoin Core: my way or the highway” captures the essence of decentralization:

Anyone can propose, but no one can impose.

Power lies in the nodes, not in developers, miners, or governments.

It’s the architecture of freedom — where each individual bears responsibility for the truth they choose to verify.

🧱 In Bitcoin Core: My Way or the Highway

Bitcoin is not a democracy.
Bitcoin is a consensus protocol with rules, not rulers.

When a Bitcoin Core developer says “my way or the highway,” it’s not arrogance — it’s a commitment to immutability.
It means every change must follow logic, evidence, and network consensus — not individual ego or emotional majorities.

In the open-source world, “my way or the highway” doesn’t mean “I’m right, you’re wrong.”
It means:

> “This is the code I write, based on the principles I believe in — and if you disagree, you’re free to fork.”

That’s absolute freedom.
No one is forced to follow.
No one can force others to agree.
Forking isn’t punishment — it’s the purest expression of liberty.

Bitcoin has endured for 16 years not because it pleases everyone,
but because it refuses to compromise.

You can debate, disagree, even split —
but you cannot force Bitcoin Core to betray its principles.

Bitcoin doesn’t negotiate with power.
It doesn’t bend to governments.
It doesn’t chase trends.
It doesn’t add convenience if that convenience weakens integrity.

Bitcoin has only one rule:

> “Run your node. Verify for yourself.”

And if you don’t like it?
There’s the door — fork it.
