Please take your time to upgrade your Bitcoin Node with BIP-110 to get rid of all the spam and non monetary junk that is plaguing the Bitcoin blockspace..

@BlueDavid @Macronaut_ Really?

If you support Bitcoin BIP110, please answer the poll as to how long you have been in #bitcoin:

@CaminaDrummer4 True. It's the elite thinking they can control Bitcoin all over again.

This is a replay of the block size war once again — with all the CEOs and influencers wanting to make Bitcoin shitty, and all the Bitcoiners opposing them.

@scottmelker There are limits to shorting. I learned this when Bill Gates said he would short Bitcoin if he could. But he couldn't even when the market cap of Bitcoin was much lower than today.

Duke Professor Campbell Harvey explains why a 51% Bitcoin attack has become profitable and feasible today "Why would you spend billions investing in mining equipment, take over the network, but then the price of Bitcoin collapses to zero, so you spend all this money to get nothing? The only way to justify it was a nefarious geopolitical entity, a country or organization wanting to do havoc, thinking it might spill over into the main financial system. That's the only way it made sense until a couple of years ago" "The difference today is the derivatives markets, these markets are highly liquid. What you want to do is simultaneously during the attack take a short position in Bitcoin, and with a short the ideal outcome is if the asset goes to zero. You'd have to do this offshore because it's blatant market manipulation, but it's feasible to launch a profitable attack. I contrast this with gold, there's no risk I can think of that the price of gold goes to zero"

@1914ad The big liars of Bitcoin.

Your node is truth. And that scares Big Bitcoin.

@88_sats That's ok, your node also accepts BIP110 signalling blocks.

@BlueDavid I run a node and I agree with him. It's a waste of time and energy. But it is teaching Bitcoiners some valuable lessons, so it's not all for nothing.

The "Bitcoiners" that listen to Saylor don't even care to run a node. His attempt to discredit BIP110 is futile.

@wilkins_jo52699 Its just typical word salad from a manipulating gaslighter.

I read his entire post so you don't have to. Classic case of 'intellectual intimidation'. A whole lot of nothing was said, 'appeal to authority, 'you're too dumb to get it', 'trust me', etc. However in this day in age with AI, we can all ask questions and do our own research. Adam Back is a grade A/opportunist/grifter/moron. 😂

@hashamadeus @LukeDashjr @LorenHodl This is an organic threat. Its like saying people don't respond well when a hurricane is approaching.

@LukeDashjr @LorenHodl I don't think people respond well to threats.

As the dust settles on the BIP-110 debate, it’s becoming clear that this particular proposal is unlikely to achieve the miner signaling needed for activation. Whether you supported it as a necessary defense of Bitcoin’s monetary focus or opposed it as an overreach that risked innovation and chain stability, one thing is certain: the conversation revealed deep passions on all sides. Importantly, this debate hasn’t soured my view of the vast majority of Bitcoiners. On both sides I see people who care deeply about the network’s long-term health, decentralization, and success. We all want Bitcoin to thrive as sound money, a robust settlement layer, and a tool for financial sovereignty. Disagreements on the best path forward are natural in a permissionless system like ours; they’re a feature, not a bug. Now is the time to look ahead. If (or when) BIP-110 fades, we should focus on recouping, healing, and reuniting around our shared mission: building and growing the Bitcoin network. That means: • Continuing to run and support full nodes for a healthy, decentralized base layer. • Innovating responsibly: whether that’s improving scalability solutions, enhancing privacy, expanding Lightning, or developing practical monetary use cases that respect block space realities. • Engaging constructively across divides instead of deepening them. Bitcoin is bigger than any single proposal or faction. • Prioritizing education, adoption, and infrastructure that makes Bitcoin more useful and accessible for everyday people and institutions alike. Bitcoin has survived far greater challenges through its history by sticking to first principles and adapting as a living system. Let’s channel the energy from this debate into positive action. The best way to “win” is to make Bitcoin stronger, more valuable, and more antifragile together

@CatoTheElder17 @1914ad Saylor is not even out of the Fiat Matrix.

@BlueDavid @1914ad He only further discredited himself. He’s Bitcoin’s cypher:

@rleder Its going to be a learning experience for the new bitcoiners like yourself when BIP110 activates.

There is no “share of the network”. Nobody cares what you reject. Miners are perfectly happy to let 5000 plebs with 20000 nodes and 1000 Bitcoin between them fork the hell off. Particularly since they know they’ll all come crawling back an hour after their chain stalls. I hope this ends up being a learning experience for you people, but I suspect you’ll just be screaming about how Bitcoin is “captured”.

A node verifies that transactions and blocks are valid. It filters and rejects invalid ones. Come this August, BIP110 nodes are going to reject non signaling blocks. The more BIP110 nodes are running and have a larger share of the network the more miners that don't comply with mandatory signalling risk a costly stale block.

The only thing your node does is allow you to be sovereign over your own money. You can check your holdings and broadcast your transactions without depending on a third party. The only reason not to shut the stupid thing down when you aren't using it for these things is so you won't have to wait for it to sync the chain before using it again. Your node isn't a "vote". Bitcoin isn't a "node democracy". Where did you guys all learn this nonsense??

@ScottAWolfe @Aslans_Mane Those avenues have long been exhausted. Core is corrupted to the core.

Thank you! Yeah, we need to acknowledge that the concerns are real and to discuss which ones are due to misperceptions and which ones are legit. We can then also act accordingly, including more public pressure on Core to open up and engage. We need to exhaust those avenues before we escalate, IMO.

To all #BIP110 supporters, I’ve listened to a lot of your diverse concerns and I want you to know that I empathize. I disagree with the proposed “solution” (this BIP, at this point in time) but I want you to know that I hear you and I believe that the majority of you are just trying to do what you believe is best for the long term evolution and growth of Bitcoin and $BTC as the world’s best money; the people’s money. Even if we disagree on the BIP, we have far more in common than that which separates us. Let’s keep the lion’s share of our time, energy and righteous rage for the perverse, broken systems and institutions that we are trying to disrupt and dismantle. One love (Bitcoiners)!

@growthlimits Its removing "functionality" that was added in late 2022 by Core, functionality that allows spam through the taproot inscription bug. BIP110 fixes that mistake, so not really a protocol change, but a fix.

@BlueDavid Its removing functionality with a consensus change. This is a protocol change. Whether its good or bad is for you to deside but its a protocol change still.

What Lyn seems to be missing is that BIP110 is not a protocol change, but a correction to fix the mess that Core has done. We are getting Bitcoin to be how it was in 2022.

@PeetXBT Care to explain what is the new consensus rule that BIP110 supposedly adds?

@BlueDavid Wrong. Bip110 literally adds a consensus rule that has never existed on bitcoin before. You should stop listening to podcasts and at least look at the technical aspects that the bip introduces. At least use a LLM to explain it to yourself if you don’t understand it.

@bitcoindudebro @steverabinow Of course I understand the differences you state. That is why BIP110 is requiring miners to signal for BIP110 readiness come early August.

That's not correct though. Do you understand the differences between node-local relay policy for transactions and network-wide consensus rules for blocks? It seems like you would like to pretend that a change to one can be undone by a change to the other! I run multiple nodes, including Core and libbitcoin, and I've also been developing a new consensus implementation called Hornet.

@mattkratter I was very perplexed at Greg Maxwell's comments regarding Knots/BIP110. Now I understand why. What a huge disappointed. Tis the season of hero slaying.

"Why won't Adam Back answer questions about Christopher Cook and Blockstream's 20% yields paid to investors?" "We feel that Adam Back has misled the public grossly on the collapse of his SPAC deal. Cantor Equity Partners I (CEPO) and BSTR, Adam Back’s Bitcoin treasury company, announced they won’t complete their stock merger under the agreement signed July 16, 2025." "What happened behind the scenes? The primary reason Adam Back’s stock market listing failed was the serious allegations of fraud, conflicts of interests and undisclosed related party transactions that were brought to light by us. Furthermore, sources state that BSTR and Adam Back were non-communicative, refusing to do conference calls with large investors who were raising concerns about fraud and Christopher Cook." Full article in the reply

@bitcoindudebro @steverabinow It "changes" the protocol to how it was before in 2022, so its actually a fix, not an actual change to something new. What implementation do you run in your node?

@BlueDavid @steverabinow Yes I run a node. They agree with you on what? You've made an assortment of claims, starting with the notion that BIP-110 doesn't change the Bitcoin protocol! Of course it does, that's the point of it!

@MiraReserve @flaming_hodl Incorrect. A BIP110 block is compatible with 100% of the nodes. There is no forking of to "Lukechain".

@flaming_hodl What signal? A Bitcoin block? It will be a real signal only when it is a bip110 block that is incompatible with bitcoin nodes, forking off to Lukechain. Until then it is a... bitcoin block. Good luck with that though!

Another signal just now

@bitcoindudebro @steverabinow Do you run a Bitcoin node? 14000 node runners agree with me. 1% of hashrate is signalling already. I mine with ~200PH. You?

@BlueDavid @steverabinow Sorry bro but you are definitively incorrect, as multiple people are patiently pointing out.
