 As someone who never developed before or knows how to, what  @mleku say here makes sense to me.

(if I understand correctly that this note is all about the odell/saylor/ARK talk here on nostr &X and the 'yes or no' on bitcoin opensource-development) 

How else did btc get it's value in the first place? 
Fixing or maintaining it?  I don't get it.  I thought it could not be F'd with unless some 51% attack.

I understand btc needs to be made more user-friendly and all. Is that all what you guys are talking about?
Satoshi also said something like "I leave it in good hands" before he left the scene...
But I'm ignorant on the code of btc, so I DO put trust in hearing Andreas M. Antonopoulos,  @Jeff Booth &  @saylor explain btc and why it has value. And because I see people who are aware of the BS of the currant banking system talk bitcoin and have hope for something better. I salute you!

If someone can explain to me, like I'm a 5 year old, what all this discussion is about, I'd like to know.?
I'm @sking the lot of you whom I stared following over the years to help me understand 'why btc?'   

Should I opt-out into #gold, because some foolish ego talk on what is better for bitcoin can actually kill bitcoin? 
Or better go offline for a few weeks/months..  Let is alll blow over🌞 

I was spared the blocksize wars I kept hearing about and got a bit of a taste of what it was reading this https://primal.net/e/note1lnwesj69dpuqf55q84ldj8q7yqmuxgwt7ra84trg6t4vgt5s270su57ls9

 @ODELL  @jack  @jack mallers  @Jameson Lopp  @adam3us  @maxkeiser  @LynAlden  @0815ff97  @NVK  @BitcoinUniversity    @Snowden & Andreas (does he have nostr) Or whomever that feels they capable to explain it to me. 🙏 

Hard fork, soft fork, Why not pitch fork? 😉
