Core works with Blackrock and Michael Saylor to control Bitcoin. Eric has has made a full node which syncs in under an hour. It has its own custom database which is 10x faster than LevelDB, and a fast optimizing p2p network. Core opposes his work because they are corrupt. We need to take Bitcoin back from the corrupt elite. For years they have sold the lie that there is the one true Bitcoin made by Core. They make people believe they own Bitcoin. But they are lazy and do not innovate. Lightning is a failure. New changes take years. Monopoly = death. The Bitcoin Core codebase has hardly changed since 2011. Instead it's a giant fragile mess which everybody is too afraid to touch. So it remains the same. Bitcoin stays stagnant. They own the sources of funding, and use that to punish anyone who does not follow the clique's orders. The attacks on Eric by Bitcoin Core have been savage and bully behaviour. They are corrupt pieces of shit. They work together with Blackrock and Michael Saylor. We must take back Bitcoin. Then we can upgrade Bitcoin's codebase to be fast, run on mobile hardware, have strong anonymity and support rollup sidechains with Eth-style smart contracts. This will require the community to rally, and Eric's work is a first step towards regaining BTC sovereignty.
