PANews reported on June 8th that according to Cointelegraph, the Bitcoin Core Project released a statement on Bitcoin core development and transaction relay strategy yesterday, suggesting a non-interventionist approach to the Bitcoin network, but this move has sparked strong dissatisfaction in the Bitcoin community, with analysis suggesting it could lead to community division:
1. JAN3 CEO Samson Mow stated that Bitcoin Core developers have been gradually changing the network, but the statement "this is how it is, it's terrible" is inappropriate;
2. Casa founder Jameson Lopp said: Bitcoin Core developers, as a group, claim they cannot force anyone to run code they don't like, which sounds like a PR move, but when there is no unified message and only independent developers are making statements, such PR performance is poor;
3. Bitcoin developer Carl Horton stated: Bitcoin is a "coin", not a "bucket", not a "store", or any general data storage, but a peer-to-peer electronic cash system;
4. Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr said: The transaction relay goals listed in the statement are basically wrong, predicting which information will be mined is a centralized goal, the main purpose of transaction relay is to predict Bitcoin transactions to be mined, and helping spam spread is harmful.
