He attacks Bitcoin This motivates a major change to Bitcoin In the resulting discussion on github, he approves of this change (that is motivated by his attack) If you point out this conflict of interest - no matter how politely - you will be banned. @ODELL hope you're paying attention to all this

Bitcoiners talking about conflict of interest again? I see another shism on the horizon. Also Blockstream was a big battle field of interest that got ignored by many.

In fairness, just calling conflict of interest doesn't really argue for or against an idea. I don't think you should have been banned, but I would like to hear why the change is bad for Bitcoin (whatever that means to you). Conflict of interest isn't necessarily bad (I have a conflict of interest by just holding my wealth in Bitcoin), which is why I need a little more than that as an argument. I didn't see the whole exchange. Just going off what I see here.
On a side note, it is interesting that something like Bitcoin is built, discussed, and maintained behind centralized walls. I get it earlier on because we didn't have options. But Google and Microsoft in 2025? For Bitcoin anything? Lol It seems to me that anyone who believes in the core principles of Bitcoin wouldn't want people to be able to be banned from the conversation. Individual mute seems reasonable.
