The Bitcoin Community Needs to Be More Proactive in Addressing Updates to Spam Filters
Publication Time:2024-08-02 17:26:08
In a recent post, core Bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr highlighted the community's concern over their lackluster response to updating spam filters. He noted that seven years ago, when Bitcoin introduced Segregated Witness (Segwit), the community demonstrated unity and strength. However, the current situation with spam filter upgrades is markedly different. "The community has become too complacent and even misled, overlooking the importance of action," Luke Dashjr stated. He further explained that Bitcoin's core value lies in its decentralized nature, meaning users should actively participate in decision-making processes rather than blindly trusting a centralized maintenance team. Unlike the fiat system, which relies on centralized control and management, Bitcoin requires every participant to be an active driver, collectively maintaining and advancing the system. "Decentralization demands not only a deep understanding of the system but also the willingness to take responsibility," Luke Dashjr emphasized, "Users should engage in decision-making to ensure the continued health and development of the Bitcoin ecosystem." This incident underscores the need for community members to exhibit a sense of responsibility and active participation when facing technological updates. For Bitcoin, each user is not just a consumer or holder, but a part of this open, free network, collectively driving Bitcoin towards greater safety and efficiency.
