BitcoinMania - BIP 110

@Pledditor That’s really strange, since the average BIP-110 guy is a prepper-type who looks and acts like Wranglerstar, and the average Core guy is a furry non-binary who looks and acts like Dylan Mulvaney.

Or... (hear me out)

Happy 39, everyone! 🎉 🎈 🙌

@GrassFedBitcoin Honk, honk

Alright addendum because it just annoys me so much. I left Canada with my family and lived in Mexico for months in 2022 due to how bad the situation had become. This was due to mass *compliance* with corrupt authorities. What eventually broke the back of the nonsense was not informed intellectuals having masturbatory discussions and rationalizing doing nothing... It was a bunch of truckers staging the most successful mass protest in history. That's BIP-110. So hate on plebs all you want, they're the ones with the power to course correct the ship when the elites lose the plot. Core lost the plot. If you want a lesson from COVID, it's that the true danger is people going along with white coats blindly. Fin.

I watched. Giacomo holds two positions. That BIP-110 is bad and that even if it was good, it's set a negative precedent if it were to activate. The latter he elaborates on with something along the lines of "If BIP-110 activates, that'd mean *people* are in charge of Bitcoin and people are retarded - look at how they acted during COVID!" Yes, unfortunately it is that bad of an argument. Bitcoin is a dynamic system that can and must change at times in order to preserve itself. He does acknowledge this "homeostasis" argument but fails to apply context that can trivially demonstrate its harmlessness. i.e BIP-148 which had no consensus and as I keep saying, we did any way, after which Bitcoin was much better for having had it happen. At the end of the day, Bitcoin is controlled by node runners and you can be scared of populism/democratic uprisings among unwashed masses all you like, but there's no one more appropriate to have that level of influence. It's demonstrably not devs or miners. Many would like it to be - notice the ball-gargling going on with BIP-54. (Because nodes couldn't care less about it while a few devs liaise with a giant miner to get it pushed through. Murch describes this as "genuinely popular" which he contrasts with BIP-110's apparent unpopularity. The latter having only *checks notes* 7000 nodes.) If not nodes....then who? This isn't democracy which is essentially 99% of people pretending to decide what to do with 1% of people's resources getting betrayed and thus voting increasingly vindictively and causing the socialist death-spiral that just ends up gutting the middle class. This is Bitcoiners deciding what happens with *their network* and they have proven remarkably adept at maintaining it. Which isn't surprising - they have skin in the game. Not only that, but there is literally no other defence against 51% attacks (which are trivial in today's landscape), and corrupt/sloppy devs.

@hodlonaut @chad_agn Either BIP-110 succeeds or I’m turning off my node for good and walking away. When I came to Bitcoin I agreed to host and relay monetary transactions, with the goal of separating money and state, not hosting and relaying shitcoin scams and separating retail of their fiat.

The new narrative went out. It's a "downgrade" apparently. Apparently removing spam from bitcoin is a downgrade. Removing dickbutts from the best known money to the universe is a downgrade everyone! These coretards are so desperate. Bip110 for the win.

@Iversen1992 @mattkratter He's most definitely a traitor and a fiat grifter associated with Bailey and many others. Wake up.

@BitcoinMania___ @mattkratter He’s not a traitor just cause he believes the block size is the best solution to spam

Retard alert

@Iversen1992 @mattkratter A not-stupid traitor is still a traitor.

@BitcoinMania___ @mattkratter I haven’t bro he’s just not stupid

Reality is for years Core has been starved for contributions while excluding very talented contributors for reasons that have nothing to do with talent.

@BitcoinNewsCom If you're trying to use Bitcoin to store junk data....yeah.

@Iversen1992 @mattkratter You've lost your independent thought if you think Island Boy Andy isn't one. And most of all, he's a traitor to Bitcoin.

@mattkratter You’ve lost the plot if you think he is a retard

@mattkratter … Ver. 2.0 x.com/mattkratter/st…

Now Andy is appealing to the authority of Vortex, who believes Vitalik was right about normalizing large Op_Returns on Bitcoin back in 2014. Andy has lost the plot.

@calibrated_lies He's the Dr. Fauci of Bitcoin.

Has Andy Back become the Jim Cramer of Bitcoin? Inquiring minds want to know.

‼️ Brace yourselves for global capital controls. The lesson of this century will be simple: not your keys, not your coins. Most people have no idea what’s coming. A financial tsunami is building, and almost no one is paying attention.

@Yugocana I used to have one of those

Bitcoin maximalists when Coinbase gets hacked and looses everyone's money

Has he?

Reminder of why BIP-110 is needed ASAP:

@hodlonaut @TheBlueMatt @adam3us @SvartHette @Pledditor @jonatack BIP-110 will punch Andy and his band of cowardly traitors in the teeth very hard come September. He and all the other damned traitors will be deservedly forgotten by all normal, righteous Bitcoiners.

@TheBlueMatt @adam3us @SvartHette @Pledditor @jonatack Is this your passive aggressive way of saying JonAtack was not a prolific and extremely valuable contributor?

Wouldn't it be nice if "Today's News" was actually news, and not just a repackaged version of your "For You" feed.

@hodlonaut Fiat happened. To him, and to all the other traitors of Bitcoin.

What happened to Adam Back?

VC crypto startup @opnetbtc is bringing Ethereum to Bitcoin on March 17th and defines Bitcoin maximalism as… "the idea that the entire crypto market might finally be able to come to Bitcoin." ⚠️ #BIP110 is the last hope.
