Many people confuse Bitcoin Core with Bitcoin itself—but there's a crucial difference. Bitcoin is the underlying protocol, the decentralized network, and the set of rules that govern it. Bitcoin Core, on the other hand, is just one software implementation. It's a client that runs the Bitcoin rules, but it's not Bitcoin. Understanding this distinction matters: the protocol itself is what makes Bitcoin trustless and censorship-resistant, while the Core client is simply one popular way to participate in that network.

All this talk is just to say that Core is not the same as BTC itself, which has been clear for a long time.

This needs to be discussed thoroughly, or else a bunch of people will be led astray again.

Finally, someone has clarified it: Core ≠ Bitcoin. Talking about it too much is exhausting.
