"It's not that spam filters caused mining pool centralization - it's the reverse. Centralized pools make spam profitable.” - Matthew Kratter
Bitcoin's integrity depends not just on code correctness, but on who gets to shape that code and how.
Running alternative clients (like Knots) is a check against centralization of development control.
Ultimately, Bitcoiners must wrestle with the root problem:
How do we decentralize transaction selection in a world where relay policy, miner behavior, and mempool visibility are increasingly shaped by a handful of large actors?
The answer isn’t to freeze innovation or block all non-monetary use. It’s to protect choice.
👉 Run your own full node. Customize your policy. Choose your client.
This is where Bitcoin's sovereignty lies - and where its future will be decided.
