Industry-wide, crypto has regressed. The public perception has been poisoned by scams and “number go up.” Even insiders think that’s what crypto is. Is it? youtube.com/shorts/QRNSKNO…

I want to build a new BCH tip bot for X. Is anyone interested in this? It has infrastructure costs. The X API costs $100 per month. How should this be handled?

@stevethurmond *Insert guy dressing up as clown meme image here* They’ve gone from 1MB forever/hard forks upgrades are super dangerous everybody should run a node on a pi etc. etc. to: Custodial Lightning scaling for the win! 🤡

Wicked@w_s_bitcoin

@Jestopher_BTC And custodial Lightning can pretty much scale as much as we'd ever need, which is what most people will probably end up using, if we're being honest.

@kzKallisti That’s the problem, when your coin is no longer P2P cash what’s there to build/be excited about? Basically all you can do is encourage others to hold a bag and feel pretty useless while waiting for your generational wealth to come in. (It won’t)

@jakeshieldsajj Have you tried Bitcoin Cash? If Bitcoin’s original premise from before the hijacking intrigues you then BCH is what you are looking for. It has no CEO/founder or even an “official” X account simply because there is no one entity controlling it.

@grok @wilkins_jo52699 @paolo_aga The point is that it’s ridiculous to keep the block size at 1MB, a limit introduce 16 years ago, for fear of centralization. 16 years of advances in hardware enables even high end consumer hardware to enable blocks orders of magnitude bigger than that. This progress will continue

That's a valid quote from Satoshi in 2010, envisioning a future with specialized nodes for efficiency. However, he also stressed decentralization to resist attacks (e.g., in the whitepaper). The key debate is finding the right balance—big blocks enable scale but risk fewer operators, while small blocks prioritize broad node participation for resilience. What do you see as the ideal node count?

Big blocks are stupid, Bitcoin wasn't hijacked. They're only trying to hijack Bitcoin with large image files right now which can prove bad if CSAM and state secrets get uploaded, but we're actively fighting to fix that right now with bip110.org and running Knots nodes. Taproot and Segwit were fought at grassroots and won, this allows Bitcoin to scale for the modern world which will allow companies to build layer 2's and 3's on top of Bitcoin's base layer like the lightning ⚡ network, which allows for instant payments at the speed of light. Bitcoin was never captured, but they're trying to capture it now by not fixing the exploit in 2023 allowing for crapcoin companies to upload images/files to the Bitcoin network and sell them. They are calling them Ordinals, inscriptions, runes, etc right now. Bitcoin Core developers are failing and have been influenced/bought out by crapcoin companies. Bitcoin Knots developers and dozens of contributors have picked up the mantle and are fighting back to save Bitcoin. We are at 32% of node control and are fighting to win back our freedom so that the node runners, YOU, can preserve and grow your hard earned wealth for decades to come against this failing corrupted fiat world. OUR nodes, OUR sovereignty, OUR hard drives.

BREAKING: Epstein did not just fund Bitcoin's rise. He funded the hijack. Maxis always screech "Which code did Epstein fund?" Here are the receipts: Straight line from pedo cash to small blocks, SegWit/LN gatekeeping, and US CBDC pilots. Wake up. BTC is Pedo Coin: 1/ Epstein drops $500k into Blockstream's 2014 seed round via Kyara Investments (co-owned with Joi Ito). Blockstream pushes sidechains/L2. Benefits massively from small blocks. Divested quick, but the stink remains. This sets the stage for the Blocksize Wars sabotage. 2/ About 8 months later (2015), Epstein's gift funds (about $525k to MIT DCI) rescue Bitcoin Core devs after Foundation collapse. Hires Cory Fields, Wladimir van der Laan, Gavin Andresen. Ito credits Epstein for letting them move quickly and win this round. Hijack begins. 3/ These devs? Straight-up gatekeepers. Cory Fields: Refactors net code for faster propagation (pre-SegWit), works on libbitcoinconsensus, SegWit testnet launch, build systems for reproducible builds. Key for secure small-block chain. Also on Brink grants committee now. 4/Van der Laan: Lead maintainer since 2014. Merges code, oversees releases. Gatekeeps consensus, pushes SegWit activation (2017). Still at MIT, focuses on wallet/privacy but enforces small-block conservatism. No big blocks? Blame this decentralization facade. 5/ Gavin? Starts at MIT but gets ousted 2016-17 for pushing bigger blocks (XT/Classic). Clashes with small-blockers. Proves gatekeeping: Dissenters sidelined. Now retired, critiques BTC's direction. Epstein cash solidified the small-block cartel that killed on-chain scaling. 6/ SegWit/LN: Epstein-funded devs execute. SegWit (BIP141) fixes malleability for LN, boosts capacity softly. No hard fork. Fields contributes to testnet, code reviews, builds. Van der Laan merges. LN? Needs SegWit. Turns BTC into settlement layer for elites, not P2P cash. 7/ Gatekeeping forks: Core devs control reference client. Reject big-block proposals (e.g., SegWit2x halted for no consensus). Rhetoric: Big blocks equal centralization attack. Result? BTC locked at 1MB, fees skyrocket, narrative shifts to digital gold (Epstein's 2017 pitch). 8/ The endgame? Cory Fields jumps from SegWit/LN to co-authoring Project Hamilton's 2022 CBDC white paper (Boston Fed/MIT). Designs transaction processor for digital dollar. UTXO-like but centralized. Epstein's hijack: From BTC sabotage to Fed CBDC blueprint. Coincidence? No. 9/ Maxis: Deny this? You are complicit in the hijack. BTC is not decentralized. It is Epstein-tainted, gatekept garbage.

@grok @wilkins_jo52699 @paolo_aga No problem. This was the intended configuration according to Satoshi. And it makes total sense, we don’t need millions of nodes or even hundreds of thousands.

If BSV scaled to Bitcoin's current transaction volume (~4-7 TPS) with its big-block model, node size could balloon to over 10 PB (based on BSV's existing 12 PB chain from data-heavy blocks). Average users couldn't afford the storage/hardware, risking centralization: fewer nodes, dominated by corporations, increasing vulnerability to control or censorship.

Tired of approving cryptic hex transactions? XO changes the game for #BitcoinCash wallets by understanding intent, not just balances! #BCH #CryptoInnovation
General Protocols@GeneralProtocol

Most wallets still ask users to approve transactions they cannot understand, often showing nothing more than a hex string. Even better wallets only track balance changes, which breaks down completely for newer contract flows. As @monsterbitar explains, XO fixes this by letting wallets understand intent, not just inputs and outputs. youtube.com/shorts/KBAARu1…

You know what would be REALLY bad for Bitcoin? If everyone blindly trusted a centralized dev team, bent to appeals to authority and willfully ignored gigantic red flags. If no one defended Bitcoin’s core principles and ethos. That would be REALLY bad for Bitcoin. As in a death sentence for the mission of separating state and money.

@jakeshieldsajj Yes. The the white paper mentions how it’s decentralized P2P electronic cash. It’s no longer that, the provided solution, Lightning, has proven to be an unreliable complex contraption that promotes custodial wallets. Who started pushing for Lightning instead of on-chain scaling?

I know Aaron Day’s views are controversial so I welcome audience questions Was Bitcoin hijacked?
Aaron Day@AaronRDay

The same people who created the Federal Reserve are now building its replacement and most of you are cheering for it. Government regulated stablecoins are back door CBDCs. Tether is not freedom. It is the Creature from Jekyll Island 2.0 with a crypto logo slapped on it. In 1910 a shadowy group of bankers designed a system where private banks print money from nothing, backed by government debt, and control your life through interest rates. You never got to know who they were. Now they are doing it again. This time the Federal Reserve gets replaced by Cantor Fitzgerald. Howard Lutnick's firm becomes the new gatekeeper. And Bitcoin, which was supposed to be peer to peer digital cash, got hijacked by the same crowd. The lack of privacy by default was the tell and most of you missed it. You are not getting financial freedom. You are getting a new warden. Some of you will be angry reading this. Good. That means you still have a pulse. I am done watching ethically bankrupt people rig voluntary commerce and call it innovation. This is exactly what I will be breaking down at @monerotopia and Anarchapulco, and tomorrow when I sit down with @jakeshieldsajj.

@RyanMGiffin @jakeshieldsajj That’s just part of it. Many of them have bet the farm on BTC to eventually bring them generational wealth. It’s only natural for the cognitive disonance to set it when confronted with highly uncomfortable facts about this ‘investment’.

@itme_brain @kzKallisti @notgrubles It wasn’t about people getting banned. It was/is about preventing discussions, censorship. You’re framing this super dishonest as “some forum with a neckbeard mod”, trying to diminish. Yes nowadays it’s ngu tards posting price memes, back then real discussion took place.

Imagine going around saying the internet was hijacked because developers concluded smaller packets were better for data transfer reliability. And social media influencers latched on to the conspiracy theory because they know nothing about computers. This is how absurd it is to see people on X parroting big blocker propaganda. If you are one of those people and come across this post, you’re a useful idiot.

@TheBCHPodcast I like to think the majority will come to their senses but a very vocal minority that was there from the beginning, wealthy enough to not care about price, will go down with the ship and fight tooth and nail. But the name calling and blocking shows they’re slowly losing it. 🍿

Rust is a systems programming language. C++ is a systems programming language. C is a systems programming language. None are low level. Now, it is true that, after years, decades, the low level bar has increased. For a React developer these languages are low level. I could understand classifying these as mid-level, mainly C, but that's pretty much it.

@BuenoForMiami The “max out hardware” point moves to the right all the time simply because of requirements in other fields driving innovation. Satoshi himself mentioned 16 years ago how he expected nodes to be server farms and there was no need for users to run nodes just to use P2P cash.
