This is the most common argument I see from the Knots folks

Global debt keeps climbing. Bitcoin’s supply stays fixed at 21 million. All you need to know.

The best thing about the Core v Knots ordeal is more people running nodes, even if they don’t fully understand how it all works yet.

Non-economic actors who want to destroy bitcoin will gladly pay a 4x higher fee for OP_RETURN, but they’re too lazy to bypass the mempool altogether. Make it make sense.

Financial independence is a spectrum, not black and white.
