Hot take alert: The Bitcoin community has gone full-on soap opera, and it’s not even about the blockchain anymore. 😱
So, apparently, the tech bros are now throwing around the word “woke” like it’s confetti at a Pride parade. 🌈 But hold up-what does being woke have to do with Bitcoin? 🤔 Well, according to some Knots enthusiasts, Bitcoin Core is *so* woke it’s practically sipping oat milk lattes while coding. 🥛
Here’s the tea: What started as a nerdy debate about Bitcoin upgrades has spiraled into a full-blown identity crisis. One Knots fan even declared, “The Woke Mind Virus has infiltrated Bitcoin Core.” Yikes. Someone call the blockchain doctor! 🦠

Jimmy Song, the guy who’s written more books about Bitcoin than you’ve had hot dinners, reckons this is a left-right divide. But is it really? Or are these just grown adults throwing digital tantrums? 🍼
How Did We Get Here?
It all kicked off with the Ordinals protocol, which basically turned Bitcoin into an NFT playground. 🎨 Luke Dashjr, the Knots mastermind, was having none of it. He called it an “attack” on Bitcoin and whipped up a spam filter faster than you can say “blockchain.” 🚫

Then, Bitcoin Core decided to up the ante by expanding some metadata field, and Dashjr lost his marbles. “This will unleash NFTs and CSAM!” he cried. Drama? In *my* blockchain? Groundbreaking. 💥
But here’s the kicker: The whole thing got political. Core’s based in liberal hotspots like NYC and SF, while Knots fans are chilling in Texas and Florida. Suddenly, it’s not about code-it’s about who’s woke and who’s not. 🌎
And let’s not forget Ava Chow and Gloria Zhao, Core’s dynamic duo, who are apparently proof of Core’s woke agenda. Because, you know, diversity = woke. Eye roll. 🙄
Jameson Lopp, the security guru, called Knots the real authoritarians. Adam Back, the Hashcash legend, laughed it off. Meanwhile, we’re all here like, “Can we just focus on the blockchain?” 🧐
The Moral of the Story?
At the end of the day, no one’s sure who’s woke or who’s conservative. But one thing’s clear: Bitcoin drama is better than any Netflix show. 🎬
As Adam Back wisely said, “Bitcoin is apolitical money.” So maybe, just maybe, everyone should chill and stop throwing labels around. Or not. We’re here for the chaos. 🍿
