We just have to make it easy for them to adopt it.

A lot of people probably aren't convinced yet, but I'm documenting everything best I can in case we need to try a different way.

making it easy to adopt is one thing. attempting to force it on a majority that is not interested is another. BIP 110 feels like the latter to me.

It's really not. Which node you run is a voluntary action. We are all adults and have agency over our own opinions.

in my ignorance, it feels like a forcing. I see Luke saying things like unless nodes run software that resists it they will end up on the BIP 110 chain and that there is no opposition to BIP 110 as if it is a fait accompli. The language its supporters use is a language of force.

it is fair to perceive it that way.

I'm talking to both sides, trying to do the work to find shared common ground, and build a bridge towards less coercive and hostile rhetoric.

We need to remember our mission: separate money from state.

If we fail to figure out how to work together to make sure that Bitcoin is secure against every threat we can imagine, the possibility of Weimar America looms closer and closer with every single day.
