The leader of a project like Bitcoin has to be an incorruptible fucking autistic who doesn't give a shit about hurting other people's feelings and who doesn't give a shit about what they say about him.

And, of course, someone who is very far removed from the fiat system and has a visceral hatred for it.

What we have now in Core are only weak men and women who don't believe 100% in Bitcoin. No one who doesn't live a 100% Bitcoin life should be a Core maintainer.

More people on my team, even though we are the minority, the war is lost.

We just have to wait and see how little by little they destroy the essence of Bitcoin on both sides.

Every open-source project needs a Linus Torvalds. We had one, it was Satoshi, but he is no longer with us.

From my point of view, Bitcoin's development model without a central leader is a mistake.
