The Bitcoin ledger is a single global truth. Mutually untrusting nodes agree on this one truth, with no central authority to call the shots or enforce rules.

and yet a central group did become an authority in 2017 by dictating a bip91 lag that would mandate a split to ensure that those loyal to the group enforced a new ruleset.

What group? “Core”? I believe the Core developers were neutral until the very last minute when some of them joined the grassroots movement that wanted the UASF. It was mutual consensus between different indivuduals/parties/groups.

Like Taproot, Core is neutral, but needs an aggressive call for LOT=true by the grasroots. Then Core can ignore, or join.

core group created the lot=true. core are having it in. there is no 2 options of a 0.21.1 with:
0.21.1a (includes lot=true)
0.21.1b (excludes lot=true)

anyways. you ask 'who'
you do realise who paid the salary of the main core devs. yep the same guys that made the NYA were also paying LukeJR as a 'contractor' and invested into blockstream
yep nya USAF and core devs.. all paid by the same group

calling them independent 'grassroots' is funny though.. it makes it seem like it was not organised... a lie on your part. but still funny that you try to present it as such

another funny part is you have been told this stuff years ago.. but you seem to prefer to be a denialist too

the network had a mandatory split caused by this same group. it was not what your buddy said that the opposition chose to leave voluntarily
research flag 'bit4'
it was the same group. wanting it and organising it. they depended on it. it was not independant

I cannot stop you from spreading FUD, and lies about Bitcoin and the Core Developers, but the community went into consensus to activate Segwit, miners followed. No one, in the end of the DRAMA, wanted to follow Gavin, Jeff Hearn, Jeff Garzik. The community has spoken, the market has spoken, the miners have spoken through their actions.
