@sgbett_614 9 months after Gox collapse but 11½ months before the doxxing. Was this around the time of the r/Bitcoin purge? The XT era seems like a lifetime ago now.
@PacArtCollect@pxl_u_272 I just see you trolling another bsv supporter when you could be fucking with actual enemies. Hell I own several of your published assets and you blocked me for a time. Go fuck with people that undermine Bitcoin. @pxl_u_272 is a made frog and you're barking up the wrong tree.
@PacArtCollect@pxl_u_272 All three of us have sunk countless time and resources into jpegs and bsv. I wish you'd direct some of your vitriol at our enemies instead of trolling your allies. You insist on making perfect the enemy of good. You spend 100x trolling bsv allies instead of 1 meg greg goons.
@johncalhooon@BsvLearn We don't push data to these sites. More likely than not all the volume posted there is fake.

Later this year, you are going to find that things start appearing.
Some will be under my name.
Some, perhaps, will not.
That is not the important part. Names are useful things, in the same way labels on poison bottles are useful: they help the inattentive avoid consequences. But the work is what matters. The ideas are what matter. The systems are what matter.
And the systems are coming.
For years, people have been told a very comfortable story. They were told that certain things were impossible. They were told that scale had limits. They were told that innovation had to crawl politely through the corridors of approved opinion, bowing before gatekeepers, academics, regulators, bankers, exchanges, committees, and all the other upholstered furniture of institutional fear.
They were told that Bitcoin could not do what it was designed to do.
They were told that micropayments would not work.
They were told that massive scale was fantasy.
They were told that the old intermediaries were permanent.
They were told that the world required friction, delay, permission, settlement layers, custodians, trusted third parties, compliance theatre, and all the greasy little tollbooths of modern finance.
They were told this by people whose livelihoods depend on the lie.
And, naturally, they believed it.
People usually believe the story that asks the least of them. It is easier to believe that the future is impossible than to admit one has spent years worshipping a ceiling built by cowards.
But ceilings are funny things. They look like the sky to men who have never seen a hammer.
Everything you believed was impossible is about to be tested.
The limits you thought existed are about to be rewritten.
The things you thought could not be created are about to be built.
Not discussed.
Not theorised.
Not placed on a panel beside some professionally vacant creature nodding gravely about “the future of innovation.”
Built.
The world does not change because a committee approves a white paper, or because a bank produces a glossy report, or because a politician learns three technical words and misuses all of them before lunch.
The world changes when someone builds something that makes the old excuses look ridiculous.
That is what is coming.
A great many people have spent a great many years mistaking obstruction for victory. They thought they could delay the work long enough for the story to die. They thought ridicule would replace mathematics. They thought litigation would replace invention. They thought social consensus would replace engineering.
It was a charming theory.
It was also wrong.
Because the work continued.
Quietly, stubbornly, sometimes invisibly, but always forward.
And now the shape of it will begin to appear.
Later this year, people will start to understand that the limits they were sold were not laws of nature. They were sales brochures for the existing order. They were bedtime stories told by intermediaries to keep the livestock calm.
The world is not waiting for permission.
Bitcoin is not going away.
The digital cash system is not a slogan. It is not a fashion accessory for exchanges. It is not a casino chip for men with podcasts and no technical competence. It is infrastructure. It is machinery. It is an economic weapon against unnecessary friction.
And machinery, once properly built, has a vulgar habit of working whether fashionable people approve of it or not.
So enjoy the old story while it lasts.
Enjoy the sneers, the comfortable impossibilities, the little rituals of dismissal, the theatrical certainty of men who have confused temporary control with permanent reality.
Because the next story is already being written.
Some of it will have my name on it.
Some of it may not.
But all of it will point in the same direction.
The limits are moving.
The ceiling is cracking.
And the world they told you could not exist is about to introduce itself.
@remjxer@grok@andyrowe@KrangVonMises@DBCrypt0 No it’s a probability thing. So the chance of it not being included in the next block is so low that it’s not worth considering the possibility. It would be like planning to win the lottery, somewhat ridiculous.
@deggen@grok@andyrowe@KrangVonMises I really hope you don’t believe that. Theoretical numbers are so far from reality when it comes to actual application.

This was the place a year ago.
An industrial-commercial plot. Hard-packed soil, stripped ground, heat, dust, and about the least sensible choice imaginable for building a productive farm.
Which was precisely the point.
People keep talking as if regenerative agriculture only works on idyllic black soil with perfect rainfall and inherited conditions. I wanted to prove the opposite: that damaged land can be rebuilt systematically.
The soil here was poor. Low biological activity, compacted layers, weak organic structure, and very little living ecology left in it.
So I reintroduced life deliberately.
I transplanted multiple species of earthworms, including red compost worms, rebuilt microbial activity, and started restoring organic density into the ground itself rather than simply pouring fertiliser on top and pretending that was agriculture.
Pest control is largely biological. Ladybugs, integrated poultry rotation, companion planting, and controlled ecological balance inside the polytarp systems instead of trying to sterilise everything with chemicals.
Even now, the soil is not ideal. You can still see the structure problems in this image. But that is exactly why documenting the process matters.
Agriculture is not magic. Soil is an economic and biological system. If you rebuild the incentives for life in the ground, the ground responds.
@DereckWDew@CsTominaga@usagiguy I generally can't stand anthropomorphized animals but Stan has slowly worn me down with his lettering skills, respect for Japanese story telling, Usagi's ties to the teenage mutant ninja turtles, and just being a good person. I've accumulated 200-300 of his books.
@andyrowe@CsTominaga@usagiguy Have ~30 novels, many one-offs (Space, Yokai, Crossroads, &c.) + his Art of Usagi art book 🤓
Met him at a KC comiccon, & gave him a zine had made a few copies of in the recent. He signed that art book & did a quick sketch of Usagi inside the front cover! Class act, Stan!
@DereckWDew@CsTominaga@usagiguy I love Stan Sakai's work! He is the letterer for the greatest comic book ever, Sergio Aragones' Groo! I also collect his Usagi books.
@andyrowe@CsTominaga@usagiguy Usagi Yojimbo zine has an excellent story of daikons & Japanese history in one of his earlier graphic novels in his series of the Samurai Rabbit's adventures. (Please forgive i do not recollect which comic issue or novel number from mnemosyne).
