and we need to keep an eye and scrutinise and critique their work instead of brush it under the carpet pretending its decentralised to then become complacent
(rhetorical question)
Who's "we"? You and I, who disagree on a fundamental level on what's Bitcoin? Or you and whoever agrees with you? Or the majority of the people in Bitcoin?
If you're not a coder or a contributor, then, no offense, but STFU. This is not a communist nor a democratic system. It's a zero-trust system. If you don't like coding, contributing or discussing in mailing lists, then you hold no influence in the space. You can "critique" their work all you like, but they're not working for you. They're working on whatever they find right, and ignore the noise.
Accept the facts, and move on with your life.
^ the lemming speaks about his overlords power (of how they do not work for anyone but themselves and their self interests.(technically they work for whomevers sponsoring them to add crappy features that annoy bitcoiners))
when the devs ignore bitcoiners concerns and those critiquing them then that is where the power play evolves into communism/government
yep core have become bitcoins own government
you telling people to stop critiquing devs is a show that you want centralised power..
every insult you sling and command you make against others says more about you then it does about anyone
you know full and well the moderation control the centralised powerhouse has.. and to become a valid contributer is not a open door policy, its actually a kiss the ring and be malleable to follow the path of the moderated roadmap, else have your contributions 'Nacked'/not merged, your comments removed and your ability to participate on a area of the development platform banned.. but you love it so you dont care.
instead of asking people to just accept the centralisation as fact and move on.. its actually more morally right and appropriate to critique, scrutinise and highlight the problem to make people aware of it, instead of your attempt to sweep things under the rug and lull people to sleep in your dreamy buzzword of fake openness
the development of bitcoin is not trustless. because now we have to trust the core devs are 'doing whats right' as they dont accept any independent peer review
again core have become bitcoins government(policy makers) with their own power hierarchy and even a internal election system of how gets a seat of power
the funny part is these lemmings kissing the ring, want to divert peoples attention by saying a $80 hard drive for decades of all transaction data is "THE"(and only) centralisation threat, although the overlords think a $80 single transaction is fine and expected (facepalm)
