Last night, I gave a Bitcoin talk to a crypto club, half expecting wailing & gnashing of teeth whenever I eviscerated crypto narratives. But even before the speech, I was pleasantly surprised how much those I spoke to already agreed with me and how receptive they were to Bitcoin.

There's something eerily familiar about the behavior she witnessed. It's almost as if Schindler's List and other portrayals of German treatment of Jews during WW2 might have been giant acts of projection.

Chloe woke up at 6:45am and immediately felt proud of herself. She had, after all, not eaten a single animal product in four years. The planet was healing. She could feel it. 6:52am - Applied her morning SPF. The SPF contains beeswax. Chloe does not know this. Moving on. 7:10am - Breakfast: a smoothie containing avocado. The avocado was grown in Michoacán, Mexico, on land where a pine forest was until 2019. It required approximately 320 litres of water to produce. It was flown to the UK. Chloe sprinkled hemp seeds on top. The hemp seeds came from China. Chloe felt connected to the earth. 8:00am - Got dressed. Polyester leggings, derived from crude oil. A bamboo top that was processed using carbon disulphide in a Taiwanese chemical plant. Trainers with a recycled plastic upper that sheds microplastics into waterways with every wash. Chloe's outfit today had a higher carbon footprint than a ribeye steak. Chloe does not know this either. 9:30am - Posted on Instagram about choosing compassion. The phone was manufactured in a Shenzhen factory using cobalt from the DRC, where mining operations have displaced local communities and killed an unknowable number of small mammals, reptiles, and insects. The algorithm served Chloe an ad for oat milk. Chloe liked it. 12:00pm - Lunch: tofu stir-fry. The soy was grown in Brazil. Brazil produces more soy than almost any country on earth. The primary reason is soybean oil: one of the most widely used industrial and culinary oils on the planet. The soymeal left over after oil extraction is fed to livestock as a byproduct. Chloe is aware of the livestock connection and finds it outrageous. She has not looked into why the soy was grown in the first place. The answer is the oil. The oil is in her salad dressing. 1:30pm - Drove to the garden centre. The car runs on petrol. Chloe has a Just Stop Oil sticker on the bumper. This is not being commented on further. 3:00pm - Bought a monstera. The monstera was grown in a Dutch greenhouse using natural gas heating. Chloe put it next to the pothos that is slowly poisoning the neighbourhood cats. 6:00pm - Dinner: pasta with cashew cream sauce. The cashews were processed in Vietnam, often by workers in conditions that would prompt significant commentary if they were in an abattoir. 8:00pm - Watched a documentary about factory farming. Wept. Posted about it. Caption: "We have to do better." Chloe is, by every measure she has chosen to measure by, doing brilliantly. By some of the others, the picture is more complicated. Chloe has not chosen to measure by those.

@55SweetThing If you're dumb enough to be swayed by the faulty logic, that old stupid argument could just as easily serve as proof the flying spaghetti monster exists.

Proof that God exists👇

@knutsvanholm Here's the alternative implementation's cult leader. He thinks the sun orbits the Earth that is only a few thousand years old. If only Bitcoin client software were open source. Then all of this ad-hominem smear and political witch-hunting would be irrelevant.

When did Core go woke and why? Find out in our latest episode.

Antisemitism is getting weird.

@seanclarke911 Props for owning it. You're not out there pretending that life is supposed to be this unbroken streak of wins, triumphs and accomplishments like most people on social media do! Your persistence will pay off in the end though.

I have never felt so disappointed in myself. 6 months of study, 2 weekends of cramming and practise testing (which I smashed) and I was not good enough to rise to the standard . FUCK 😳

@seanclarke911 @Roland__BTC It might be because you are out-standing in your field!

@Roland__BTC I have never heard this saying? Is it like a warrior in a garden?

@El_FreedomFairy That's right near Fairy Meadow, isn't it?

Business as usual in the Gong

We will not lie to the British people. Restoring Britain will require decisions that are controversial and unpleasant. We are going to strip millions of healthy Brits who refuse to work of benefits. If that causes outrage from those who think the taxpayer owes them a living, so be it. We are going to deport all illegal and burdensome migrants. If that means millions go, so be it. We are going to outlaw incompatible cultural and religious practices. If that means those who refuse to integrate no longer feel welcome, so be it. We are going to execute pedophiles, rapists, and murderers if that is what the British people want. If that means we are condemned by subversive "human rights" groups, so be it. We take no pleasure in these measures. It is a damning indictment of our political class that they are necessary in the first place. But necessary they are.

@MindTheBlock21 Congratulations Helena. You're one of us now!

Yesterday, I became an Australian citizen 😀🦘🐨🇦🇺 Now, who do I vote for? 🧐

@sober_bitcoiner @BitcoinAnja Thanks Fee!

@BitcoinAnja @JP_Technology Happy Birthday JP

Happy birthday to @JP_Technology... one of the first Aussie Bitcoiners I ever met. May your days be filled with vintage radios that need repair, noobs ready for their first orange-pill, and plenty of cars that still have internal combustion engines… and absolutely zero computers telling you what to do. Stay sovereign, stay analog, and keep spreading the signal. 😊🎂🎈

@jonaswttmnn @BitcoinAnja Thanks Jonas!

@JP_Technology @BitcoinAnja Happy Birthday JP!

@DecentMind21 @BitcoinAnja Thanks Helena!

@BitcoinAnja @JP_Technology Such a beautiful birthday message! 🧡 Happy birthday @JP_Technology 🎉 Wishing you all the best!

How much time you got? Here’s a few ways that BIP 110 damages Bitcoin: 1) Kills scaling and programmability -Bans OP_IF in Tapscripts that destroys MAST, covenants, Ark, BitVM, channel factories, statechains, and almost every future L2 roadmap. -Removes the foundation for Schnorr and Taproot efficiency gains (30–60% smaller multisig, private scripts). -We do not win if we cannot scale 2) Creates worse spam vectors -Forces spammers into fake-pubkey P2WSH multisigs and other unprunable vectors -Results in permanent utxo bloat instead of prunable OR, which increases node costs, slows sync times, and centralizes running a node. -Every new filter just shifts the attack vector to somewhere more harmful 3) Breaks legitimate use cases and existing users -Makes ~560,000+ real taproot spends (vaults, HTLCs, lightning, decaying multisigs) unspendable on the BIP 110 chain after activation. -Retroactively freezes or devalues tens of millions of utxos that belong to real holders, effective confiscation for those users. 4) Chain split risk -Zero miner signaling plus uasf activation will result in an automatic split when miners keep mining data for fees. -Creates a low-hashrate minority chain with no economic support. Easy 51% attacks, reorgs, and confusion. 5) Destroys rough consensus and governance -Trades public debate, mailing list, and proper review for a single dev pushing directly to main with no review. -Sets precedent that any small group can uasf contentious rules and threaten to split the chain. -Turns Bitcoin development into personality-driven drama instead of technical merit. 7) Hurts adoption and economic security -Alienates builders, institutions, and new users. -Makes Bitcoin look unstable and ruled by moral panic. -Reduces long-term fee security budget by killing L2 growth. 7) Security and centralization risks -Forces constant filter updates and centralizes policy in one maintainer. -Increases attack surface (new consensus rules = new bugs, reorg risks). -Makes running a node more expensive due to forced utxo bloat. 8) Sets terrible precedent -Normalizes retroactive rule changes and moralistic censorship. -Opens the door for future forks over what small group decides is“bad data” -Weakens Bitcoin’s core promise of immutability and permissionlessness. Bottom line: BIP 110 doesn’t “fix” spam, it redirects it into worse forms, breaks scaling tools, risks a split, and sets a dangerous precedent. It’s anything but conservative and completely undermines Bitcoin as global money. It’s radical sabotage dressed as purity.

The primary leaders of Knots/BIP 110 (Luke, Mechanic, Kratter, etc., and the small group around them) have invested years of reputation, multiple Knots releases, public letters to miners, baseless legal threats, and endless X campaigning into this. At this point, backing down would be total humiliation for them. The September 2026 flag day will likely go ahead as planned, even if only 20–25% of nodes run it and zero miner signaling. They will declare victory, fork off, and call the resulting low-hashrate chain “the real Bitcoin.” History rhymes. The loudest voices have painted themselves into a corner: -They’ve called Core corrupt, spam enablers, and captured. -They’ve framed this as an existential moral crusade (“CSAM on Bitcoin,” “Bitcoin is dying”). -Backing down now would mean admitting they spent years pushing a losing, false and divisive idea. They aren’t going to wake up one day and all of a sudden do the right thing. The most realistic outcome is a failed or extremely low-impact UASF in September 2026 that creates a tiny, irrelevant minority chain that the majority of the network will simply ignore and continue on Core. The only real question left is how much drama and temporary FUD they manage to generate between now and then. As always, the ones who will be hurt the most by this are the idealistic newbies and plebs who actually believe the lies and nonsense that is being force-fed to them. Bottom line: This is past the point of polite negotiation for them, they are ideologically locked in and hell bent on damaging Bitcoin in any way possible if they don’t get what they want. They could not care less who or what becomes collateral damage in the process.

@agatha1745 @AutismCapital Here's what that TV the guy on the left is holding at 30s changes hands for today:

@AutismCapital People don’t appreciate their trash

You need to be mattermaxxing. You need to be collecting things. You need to tchotchke mog. You need to be analog. You need to own things. You need to be acquiring. You need to have rooms full of shit. You need to have collections of things. You need to hoard physical memories.

@dansemperepico This is the third time I've seen this post!

Remember when the X feed would refresh while you were reading a banger that you’d never find again. Well now it just refreshes with the exact same content you already scrolled through. Anyone else experiencing this?

@DrClownPhD It looks like her character is being played by Terry Jones.

This is Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s wife. I have more compassion for him now. Poor guy.

Pirates stole an entire Irish village. A hundred and seven men, women and children. Taken from their beds. Sold in North Africa. Only two ever came home. It was 1631. And it was normal. For thousands of years, the sea belonged to pirates. Barbary corsairs enslaved over a million Europeans. They raided as far as Iceland. No nation on Earth could stop them. So Britain built the largest navy in history. And went hunting. They smashed the slave ports of North Africa. Three thousand people walked free in a single day. They chased pirates across the South China Sea. Ocean by ocean, the hunting grounds went silent. Britain built 46 bases to keep them that way. Every shipping lane on Earth. Protected. Today, 80% of everything you own arrives by sea. Britain didn't just rule the waves. She freed them. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧 Be part of us: proudofus.co.uk 🙏
