The discourse emphasizes the objective of scaling and enhancing Bitcoin for future generations rather than merely avoiding inconveniences.

It challenges the notion that individuals who are focusing on aspects beyond consensus rule proposals are not contributing to the advancement of Bitcoin, labeling such a perspective as misguided and even humorous in nature. The text further critiques the audacity and myopic mindset of insisting that others shift their focus from their chosen priorities to engage in a conflict over consensus rules.

This reflects a broader vision for the development of Bitcoin that values long-term progress and stability over short-term ease.
