Kind of a ridiculous question... I mean, if a developer truly believes that a certain pattern of SW development is "better for Bitcoin", and like most other Bitcoin Devs one has invested significantly in Bitcoin, than of course changes that improve Bitcoin as a SW project will "financially benefit" the developers. That's the point. Are you implying some other form of (Fiat) monetary benefit to @Jameson Lopp outside of the context of Bitcoin's (Fiat) price rising?

Chris is likely referring to my Citrea investment, which I've explained numerous times that Citrea doesn't need larger OP_RETURN to operate their protocol.

If it’s relevant to the debate then it can’t be “Ridiculous”. I assume @Jameson Lopp does have Bitcoins best interests at heart. I’m not implying anything, I’m trying to clarify directly from Jameson a charge leveled at him.

Fair enough. I suppose I was a bit triggered by the "qui bono?" charge as it tends to get overused by liberals and left-of-center types to invalidate arguments by people who do, in fact, have incentives to see a system succeed monetarily, but in a way that isn't necessarily unaligned with the larger pro-social aspects of the project.
