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.
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
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
