 That’s probably true. I’ll bet Rusty and his family have a small percentage of net worth in bitcoin. 

It makes sense that the greater the percentage, the more conservative you likely are. 

People should probably not be core devs if they don’t have meaningful skin in the game. Hard to prove this though.

 yes.  At least we've got Saylor going public on the subject now.  Good to have such an articulate and vocal supporter.

"Why doesn't Saylor support core devs"?   Cause fuck core, they can't even fix their filters.  Those guys do nothing but fuck the network up with their soft fork attacks.

Core is the biggest threat to Bitcoin by far.   If Bitcoin fails it's going to be because they soft-forked some bullshit in there that allowed it to be captured.

 There must be a few core devs who are pushing back on the crazy stuff behind the scenes. Otherwise we could have seen forks for covenants or other stuff already. 🤷‍♂️
