Justin Bechler joins the show to discuss the heated Core vs Knots debate, whether Bitcoin has drifted away from Satoshi’s original purpose, the importance of decentralization, spam prevention, OP_Return, and whether Core developers are unintentionally (or intentionally) compromising Bitcoin. They break down who decides what spam is, BRICS vs NATO adoption, 6102 attacks, and whether Bitcoin is truly inevitable. Justin Bechler is a Bitcoin advocate focused on the Core vs Knots debate.
