Can't someone just find where the bitcoin code is and delete it since it's open source?

make a commit that replaces the 21 million hard cap limit to "poo poo pee pee"

Guys what if we submitted a valuable improvement or bugfix but also added a tiny change to the protocol so that at at a certain date the block reward changes to 9000 btc and got the commit and right before it hit we shorted $10000000 on bitmex for the lulz

only 6000 people would review it and you don't have commit rights anyhow only pull requests

Isn't it open source?

yes but you cant change it. just wait for an authority figure from r/bitcoin to announce that its time to fork and do what they say so we can get rich

open source doesn’t mean you can add shit whenever you want
you do a pull request and it is reviewed 1000 times before it’s committed to main branch to avoid security/logical bugs, consistency, performance loss etc
if you want to do it your way you can just fork it and make an other shitcoin

you are free to make a fork nobody would use of course
