Matthew Kratter: Bitcoin Core is Compromised - Here's Why

Описание: Matthew Kratter of Bitcoin University joins Michael Jordan on The Bitcoin Way podcast for a hard-hitting breakdown of the Bitcoin Core controversy: why Core developers are compromised, the network's migration to Bitcoin Knots, and what self-custody Bitcoiners must do now.

Matthew covers UTXO bloat from ordinals and inscriptions, the uncapping of OP_RETURN, and how Core devs prioritized theoretical bloat over real attack surface. With 20% of nodes already on Bitcoin Knots, he explains BIP-110 - the temporary soft fork to reverse Core's changes.

Plus: Michael Saylor's Ethereum DeFi pivot, the risks of Bitcoin-backed loans, and why Bitcoin plebs are the network's true immune system. Essential listening for anyone running a node, practicing self custody, or defending Bitcoin's decentralization.
