 If Bitcoin is reliant on volunteer devs who aren’t incentivized beyond their own altruism doesn’t this mean Bitcoin as a network relies on trust?

Trust that altruistic individuals will dedicate an appropriate enough of their energy to keep it working? 
 bitcoin doesn't rely on altruism, it relies on game theory and incentives.

we, the network, have an incentive to support developers maintaining the project because it is worth it to us for Bitcoin to live on forever    
 And some governments or interest groups can have the incentive fund developers contributing to the project in order to reach their goals. The takeover over Bitcoin it’s quite scary and maybe quite natural given the world we live in. 
 Ok that makes sense. 
 That's the truth 
 Bitcoins design was retarded. Look at the market manipulation that miners are doing now. 

It takes way too much power and time to process transactions 

At the block chain grows, it will take longer and more power. 
 Who's gonna tell him?

 Are you purposely ignoring whats happening right now and right before the halvening? 
 Blocks coming in every 10mins? 
 Miners made the price drop before the halvening and now they made the price drop again. This is market  manipulation 

This is because of the resources it needs for Bitcoin miners to mine and now they get paid less and many will not see profits now

 What are you trying to say?  
 Bitcoin doesn't use enough energy yet, of myriad reasons, one important factor is that block time still has too much volatility.

Should be very stable one day, almost unshakeable. 
 Hopefully. I dont like how Bitcoin is volatile and easily manipulated.also,  I been waiting almost two weels for a wallet transfer to go through because miners wont pick it up and they expect me to pay more to make it go through. This is fucking gay by design.  
 This take is retarded.

Sell your Bitcoins. 
 Its true and it just happens this week and before the halving. Do you follow what is going on?

My example of transactions being held up for two weeks is true and happens 

Nothing retarded about this but your blind worship of Bitcoin  
 Fees are pretty cheap bruh just send the transaction again with a higher fee.

What's the problem? 
 How is it right or fair to have to send more money to make it go through after waiting two weeks? This is a very jewish system https://image.nostr.build/74d36810d911055d93f0c2f9d4820bafc00d947dc459b914aeab54b1110d2ef3.gif 
 
 You reek of #dumbcunt & communism

 Why are you this retarded  
 For refering to current events ? 
 There are no curre t eveents youre reffering to. Youre literally just making shit up. Gfy. Miners ARE not manipulating shit. They literally cant, there is 0 ability for them to do so. If you believe that to be true then you havent dont the homework to understand how your point of view is flawed and completely ignorant of facts.  
 Nigga, read the news articles lol 
 Oh,  so news articles don't lie? Since when? If your literal barometer for if something is true or false is some news outlet publishes something or not your deserve to be treated like the fucking retarded idiot you are being treated as.  
 Shut the fuck up nigger and go suck some bitcoin cock.


 
 Typical rebuttal from a knuckle dragging idiot. You've got 0 proof that your claims that miners are manipulating price is true. But yet you are trying your hardest to tout that it is. Its utterly hilarious how cucked you are to news articles telling you how to think.  
 You cant read.
You sound like a retarded nigger
I will not provide links and waste time looking it up for you https://image.nostr.build/d5de89d6cee6a3b218044b3a3f40f5807fbd3459f6cd39955dcaa0e38b0d5eef.jpg 

 
 I dont need to read some publications about miner manipulation that is on its face false. Its a waste of time to do so. Miners CAN NEVER CONTROL BITCOIN PRICE.  
 Ok.....  sure.....  https://image.nostr.build/bf35e3fbeb3adfbc32cc696ce63bdc5b67ee6fb228aac8028126bc2e24d32f80.jpg 
 Imagine being this dumb 
 You chose the wrong idol to worship. https://image.nostr.build/4fb097664bad023cbf063d6e20637ecd85399cc5fa3cb22ae8833f92b0607e8b.gif 
 I dont worship anyone or anything. Unlike yourself,  you've admitted to idolize publications that for your bias narrative.  
 I admitted to no such idol. You just lied.  
 You admitted that whatever they publish is true. If it's true without question then you must idolize them. Or else you would take into consideration that what you read is in fact not truth and should be questioned.  
 Don’t even engage. Highly regarded individual. 
 People sometimes don't really realize how I operate, 

I engage with people on topics moreso for everyone else to see not solely the direct person I'm conversing with.

 
 That way if I'm wrong, I'll get educated hopefully by more than one perspective.

If I'm right, then people don't need to feed into bad info / fud. 
 This is largely how social media should be used, less emotional targeting of an individual & moreso feeling the town square conversation. 
 I read your thread with him. Wow. Just wow.
