Analysis: Bitcoin Core Relay Policy Statement Causes Discontent in Bitcoin Community and May Even Lead to Community Split

The Bitcoin Core Project released a statement yesterday regarding Bitcoin core development and transaction relay strategy, recommending a non-interference approach to the Bitcoin network. However, this move has sparked strong dissatisfaction within the Bitcoin community, with analysis suggesting it could lead to a split in the community: 1. JAN3 CEO Samson Mow stated that Bitcoin Core developers have been gradually changing the network, but the notion of "that's just how it is, too bad" is inappropriate; 2. Casa founder Jameson Lopp commented that Bitcoin Core developers are a group, and their statement that they cannot force anyone to run code they dislike sounds like PR, but when there is no unified message and just a group of independent developers making statements, such PR is ineffective; 3. Bitcoin developer Carl Horton remarked that Bitcoin is a "currency," not a "bucket," "store," or any general data storage, but a peer-to-peer electronic cash system; 4. Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr stated that the transaction relay goals listed in the statement are mostly incorrect, predicting which information will be mined is a centralized goal, and the main aim of transaction relay is to predict Bitcoin transactions that will be mined, aiding spam propagation is harmful.
