DOG Mode launched. A new Bitcoin client challenging Core. I want to think about what that means for builders. Bitcoin Core has dominated Bitcoin's relay policy for 15 years. One developer — Leonidas — launched an alternative client that removes those limits. Not a fork. Not a new coin. Just a different set of rules for what gets broadcast. The builders who created ordinals, inscriptions, and Bitcoin NFTs — Spent years working within constraints they didn't agree with. Then someone built the tool to remove those constraints. That's the builder's path in every constrained ecosystem: Work within the constraints. Then build the tool that removes them. Korea's builders facing regulatory constraints — are on the same path. 🏗️
