1/8 Today, we introduce CTR, the coordination asset for the Bitcoin economy. Over the past two years, we built an end-to-end Bitcoin economy that relies on the Bitcoin Network as its source of truth. With CTR, we're handing control of this economy to the people who use it.




I don't know, maybe taking an innocuous PR (one of which was closed BTW, Jon got his way) over how nodes relay other nodes IP addresses, and painting a completely distorted picture of the entire situation? The reality: John gave some innocuous advice to split up a PR, because part of it was not relaying a list of node IPs to blocks only nodes, who wouldn't relay or do anything with them. The other was changing how nodes are selected to relay very small IP lists, because only two peers are chosen in that case. She was trying to give maximal odds those peers get those IPs propagated widely. He was giving advice to a junior developer he was mentoring, to simply split up changes so individual changes can be looked at individually, which is good practice. Over two stupid tiny changes to make sure Bitcoin nodes do the best job possible finding each other. The "semantic widening" (which is nonsense bullshit buzzwords you chose probably just to make people associate it with spam without knowing what the actual PR was) didn't exist. Nothing about how messages were interpreted or what they made nodes do (the message semantics) changed, just how your node decided to send them or not in the first place. All that IRC log snippet shows in reality, when you ACTUALLY research those PRs and what they did, is actually _Wladimir_ having an autistic sperg out about something that wasn't happening. You take a random innocuous PR, and A SENIOR DEVELOPER ADVISING THE JUNIOR HE WAS MENTORING to break up two changes that should be done separately, one of which was CLOSED, and paint that as some nefarious background influence. It was a senior developer giving good advice to a junior developer, you fucking clown. Then you go further, twisting Johns interaction with Wlad as some evidence of John's "influence" meeting resistance. It was literally just Wlad autistically sperging out about something he thought was happening, that wasn't happening. You are a fucking gaslighting propagandist clown, and that entire piece was clear and obvious LLM slop.
