Are you a Bitcoin Monarchist? x.com/SatoshiSound/s…

Why I think many who are less optimistic about BIP110 than I am are mistaken - The "Economic Node" concept. This emerged as a way to dismiss obviously frivolous nodes that get spun up in an effort to astroturf forks within Bitcoin. Very quickly during the fork wars people realized - "Hey, these nodes might not actually represent any real activity within the Bitcoin ecosystem, they're just there to warp the stats on node tracking websites and make something look like it has more support/opposition than it does." I will point out that that is *not* what has happened with BIP110/Knots in general - those are real people which @start9labs can attest to, having sold millions of dollars worth of servers to people over the last couple of years who overwhelmingly bought them in order to run Knots. That is not fake and is corroborated through various imperfect heuristics. However the point I want to make is that the most intimidating of economic nodes - i.e the ones run by mining behemoths like Antpool or exchanges like Coinbase - are not where anyone should look when attempting to gauge support for a soft fork - especially a controversial one. (At least not until very late in the day.) These nodes obviously represent a huge on-chain footprint, but conversely, they are run by companies who will be the last to take a stand on anything controversial as it has the potential to create drama for them over a decision that isn't theirs to make anyway. However the lesser economic nodes aren't concerned with that. They don't have legal/PR depts or shareholders who need to sign off on these things (or who will sue them if they do something "reckless". They can just adopt a new client if they think it's good for Bitcoin. When Bitcoin is in crisis mode with difficult decisions to make, the institutions are going to be the last to choose a direction and that is a *good* thing. Ideally soft forks to start as grassroots movements, and while the nodes indicating support for them may not be run by billion dollar mining empires/exchanges, as long as they represent real Bitcoiners, the change will be coming from the correct place - from those least likely to be under duress unlike large industry players who necessarily always would be.

BIP-110 is why I love BTC! Without the BIP110 crowd we are just an another shitcoin! Fight fight fight!

At least 17% of total btc users prefer BIP-110 as they think it gives them many more advantages (no legal risk, no hardware burden, only monetary usage) than otherwise. The rest of users are ready to accept BIP-110 chain if btc splits and BIP-110 chain gets longer. No effective resist (URSF) at all by now.

@btcefe @spoonmvn @coinjoined That is real dedication.

Today is a very sad day for me. One of my life's pleasures has come to an end. Bye bye 'stfu chris', you will be missed big dawg 🕯️ Let's take one last look at the 'stfu chris's and remember the beautiful memories 🥲 @coinjoined 💔

Node is law.

We cannot ignore these nodes. They will reject our blocks unless we signal for BIP110

Bitcoin doesn't exist in a vacuum Spam comes from the fiat economy, not from long-term bitcoin holders The world economy is $100T and bitcoin is only $1T The Fed can print bitcoin's entire market cap and barely anyone notices They can use this to spam bitcoin, buy influence, corrupt processes etc Bitcoin may be free, but the world is not free while the money printer lives

✅ BIP-148 achieved 16% signaling the day before activation 📈 BIP-110 just surpassed that. This victory will be the most glorious since Satoshi discovered permissionless, censorship-resistant money. 🧡

The first rule of BIP-110 is: read BIP-110

⚠️ The obedient minions of the anti-BIP-110 mob are going out of their way to make monetary maximalists unwelcome while rolling out the red carpet for parasites and frauds. Be aware:

It's temporary to make sure it doesn't close any doors that shouldn't have been closed. Taproot had consensus, and would probably have been good if people actually used it for it's stated purposes. However, >99,9 of the OP_IFs on-chain today aren't, and weren't even ever intended to be executable, so something clearly has to be done about that. And I personally have no idea why any bitcoiner would ever need more than a 40 bytes-sized OP_RETURN field ever, since you can fit a hash of anything into that. BIP-110 is a tiny temporary tightening of the rules to send a clear signal to all the scammers that: 1) Bitcoin is money 2) You're not, and will never be, welcome here 3) We can and will work against you and make your lives harder 4) Bitcoin's users make the rules, not you Etc. etc. Also, the worst thing that can even theretically happen to honest bitcoin users is that they'll be forced to hodl for a year (and it takes quite a lot of skill to put yourself in that position). I have no idea why anyone except the scammers themselves would have anything against it 🤷‍♂️

The suits are coordinating.

Node is law. Run BIP-110 honey badgers!

Removing rules is a hardfork. That includes scheduled rules like subsidy halvings, and yes, even BIP110. Rejecting BIP110 is a contentious hardfork attempt. And unlike softforks, hardforks need consensus to succeed. There is no consensus on rejecting BIP110.

Let’s look at facts. - Miners simply enforce nodes - 100% of nodes support BIP-110 - Miners always follow incentives - Miners will ‘flip the bit’ (or risk losing $200,000 per block) the moment mandatory signaling commences BIP-110 ushers in the glory days of Bitcoin.🧡

2025: This is a consensus issue, you can't use filters. 2026: This is a filter issue, you can't use consensus. Your BS isn't working corewhores #BIP110Summer

Self-proclaimed “bad actors” want you to know how much they oppose BIP-110.

“there’s no support for BIP110”

⚠️ Starkware is a key component of the Bitcoin Core™ industrial complex. You are supremely naive if you don’t understand that Bitcoin inflation is next for these monsters if BIP-110 fails.

Here we see the biggest piece of shit in the history of Bitcoin. (Also pictured: Craig Wright)
