The Bitcoin core project recently released a statement calling for a non-interference approach to the Bitcoin network, which has led to strong opposition from the community and possible division. Community members have raised many questions about the developers' statements and strategies, believing that there is a lack of unified information and goals, which could negatively impact the operation and healthy development of Bitcoin.

The Bitcoin Core Project released a statement on the Bitcoin Core Development and Transaction Relay Strategy yesterday, recommending a hands-off approach to the use of the Bitcoin network, but this move has caused strong dissatisfaction in the Bitcoin community, and the analysis believes that it may lead to a split in the community: 1. Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3, said that Bitcoin Core developers have been gradually changing the network, but the statement “this is how it is now, too bad” is inappropriate in itself; 2. Jameson Lopp, founder of Casa, said: Bitcoin Core developers are a group, and they say that we can’t force anyone to run code they don’t like, which is like doing PR, but when there is no unified message, just a group of independent developers making statements, such PR does not perform well; 3. Bitcoin developer Carl Horton said: Bitcoin is a “coin”, not a “bucket”, nor a “store”, or any general data storage, it is 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, and the main goal of the transaction relay is to predict the bitcoin transactions that will be mined, and helping spam spread is harmful.
