1. Majority of Cored devs ALLOWED SPAM on Bitcoin by rejcting a PR that fixes it (see the NACKers).
2. Those exact Core devs tell you that SPAM is ALREDY POSSIBLE on Bitcoin.
3. This ladies and gentelmen is what bad actors do.
4. Lets not forget the corruption money too from Citrea, Chainway Labs, Chaincode etc. with bad actors like Jameson Lopp, Casey Radamor and other shitcoiners. Their fiat hate greed does not allign with Bitcoin ethos.
5. Thank God that there are good devs at Core and especially Knots but unfortunatelly at the moment they are minority.
6. Running Bitcoin Knots counteracts the internal attack on Bitcoin by the bad actor Core devs. That is why they are so butthurt about Bitcoin Knots.
