No, greed can't exist in the protocol development of Bitcoin. That's absurd and dangerous. We are not here to discuss your fairytale delusions, but reality. Greed, self interest, solidarity, and sacrifice are inescapable aspects of reality. Bitcoin was designed to assume greedy and selfish interests and to incentivize that greed in order to benefit the ecosystem. Similarly, some of the core devs have also designed a contract where their interests are aligned with the success of bitcoin because they have a genuine interest in insuring the main chain succeeds.

This. Addtionaly: The core devs could be bought but that is highly unlikely if you look at their personalites and history. most of these people are active in the Cypherpunk-sphere since decades. you can find their writings all over the internet and most of them have a long history.



since Bitcoin is open source, everyone can check the code. so you have to buy hunderds (if not thousands) of independent Cypherpunks around the globe - unlikely This.

The majority of core developers do not contribute code anymore, therefor if you eliminate them from the list - you are left with a handful of developers.It's not about checking the code, it's about falling for the direction of which an agenda is pushing out of greed. If you ply someone with cash and promises, most will follow your direction. Others, like Gavin - won't follow because they are not in this for greed.The reason that I support Classic is because it keeps Bitcoin the way it was originally designed with-out adding any bi-products. It is currently too risky to modify Bitcoin the way Blockstream would like to. This has worked 7 billion dollars later, besides a blocksize increase - it will continue to work for many billions more.These are facts and I suggest you all be more concerned with the security of the software you run because when Core pulls another 180, all your funds will be under hub control and you will be very upset over the problems it will put you through.
