Good. I've got my node up and running. If you're reading this and run a node, you should as well.
to quote Mike:
[Core devs] believe that the only mechanism that Bitcoin has to keep them in check should never be used.
Myself and many other early adopters and developers went down this rabbit hole because we wanted to support a world changing technology that takes power from the elite few and puts it back in our hands. The Bitcoin Core project is no longer aligning with these ideals.
