core devs changed the definition of bitcoin?

Guys, what do you need to see bitcoin is under attack?
The core devs changed the definition of bitcoin just before the current mass attack of spam started:

Shortly before the current wave of spam started 2 years ago, the definition of bitcoin was changed and all mentions of money were removed.

Here you can read the "What is Bitcoin?" Q&A on Feb 1st 2022:

And here you can see it was changed to "What is bitcoin core?" and all mentions of money were removed.

3 months later a massive spam attack started. And today 30% of the chain is filled with spam and garbage.

A year ago when someone tried to propose a filter to get rid of ordinals, it was dismisses as "too controversial" but core never did the same when is was suggested to double the size of op_return data. Instead they blew it wide open to 1250x.

Please guys, wake up, join the fight, run a Knots node:

Your topic title is misleading. They removed the "what is Bitcoin" section and replaced it with "what is Bitcoin Core " that doesn't mean they changed the definition of Bitcoin. On bitcoincore home page, Bitcoin is still defined as a new kind of money.

I looked all over their website. Nowhere was I able to find any mention of bitcoin as money.
