core devs now have to:
- deal with legal threats
- deal with threats from social media brigades run by 2023-era "bitcoin maxi" influencers
- soul crushing and time consuming rebasing and code review
- have deep knowledge of complex cryptographic protocols, engineering and economics
who would want to work on bitcoin at this point? what's the point? to defend the network just to be attacked by lawers and angry mobs?
