Bitcoin Core is not decentralized. Bitcoin software is. Bitcoin Core ≠ Bitcoin. Core is a client. A repo. A committee of humans. Smart humans — but humans nonetheless. Subject to bias, pressure, incentives, politics, and imaginary digit illusions. Bitcoin the protocol? Untouchable. Permissionless. Mathematically indifferent to ego and committee drama. That’s why Knots exists. That’s why custom Core builds exist. That’s why they must exist. Because decentralization isn’t when everyone agrees — it’s when everyone is allowed to disagree without breaking the system. Bitcoin allows that. Fiat never could.

And as fiat collapses deeper into its own historical parody — as the spell of digits and the illusion of authority and the committees built on sand all dissolve into their own contradictions — forks will become normal. Not political forks. Not panic forks. Just… natural evolutionary branches. Exactly like biodiversity. Exactly like free markets. Exactly like decentralized intelligence. Forks aren’t a threat. They’re a sign the system is alive. Here’s the part few understand: The more decentralized Bitcoin becomes, the more decentralized its software ecosystem must become.
