Bitcoin’s Original Promises
BTC Core’s actions must be analysed against the foundational promises articulated by Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, in the white paper Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. These promises include:
Immutability: The protocol was described as “set in stone,” with changes requiring broad consensus to preserve trust and stability.
Scalability: Bitcoin was designed to handle high transaction volumes on-chain, enabling direct, low-cost payments.
Decentralisation: Governance was intended to be distributed, avoiding centralised control by any group.
BTC Core’s deviations from these principles constitute breaches of these foundational promises, further justifying claims of unjust enrichment and fiduciary-like obligations.

The post reeks of cheap, dishonest theatrics, draped in convenient misinterpretations of what Satoshi actually wrote. Satoshi himself made it abundantly clear that Bitcoin was designed for scalability without compromise, meant to grow to the point where it operated on "server farms." The infamous "no scaling limit" statement doesn't sit quietly in the back; it's a foundational principle. You seem to have missed that or conveniently twisted it.
Let’s start with your point on immutability. Sure, Satoshi said the core design is "set in stone," but this was never about locking progress in a glass case. It’s about ensuring that foundational principles—like scalability, transparency, and efficiency—remain intact while allowing the system to evolve through sheer usage and technological progression. Escrow transactions, multi-party signatures, and bonded contracts were laid out as capabilities for the main chain, not as pipe dreams to shuffle off to some experimental side-chain to protect fragility.
Then, scalability. "Layered solutions"? Really? That's just fancy talk for avoiding responsibility. Satoshi’s vision was a system where all transactions could happen on-chain, dismissing any notion of arbitrary caps or reliance on third-party crutches. To claim otherwise is a weak attempt to rewrite history. Shoving everything off-chain just centralizes control into the hands of payment processors and lightning hubs, creating single points of failure—everything Bitcoin was designed to kill.
Lastly, decentralization. What you present as decentralization—an amorphous rejection of "control"—is laughable. True decentralization ensures no one gets to rewrite the rules mid-game. By supporting off-chain governance and development cabals (yes, your precious BTC Core), you’ve helped birth a system of shadow rulers where decisions are made behind closed doors, with the facade of community input. Satoshi’s decentralization was about protocol stability, where miners validate, users transact, and the rules stay immutable—none of this mob-rule nonsense you champion.
Legal threats? They’re there to expose the truth in a landscape riddled with fraud and lies. If that's too uncomfortable for you, maybe you're sitting on the wrong side of history.
Stop selling a narrative that’s as hollow as an old bottle in a trash heap.
