you can initiate multiple Bitcoin nodes from a single initial block download (IBD) by first syncing one node and then copying its data directory to other machines. This saves significant time and bandwidth, as the Initial Block Download (IBD) is a resource-intensive process.

@SlimBitcoins @brian_trollz BTC dropped the ball and killed the remittance use case on 2017 and why merchant adoption was 140,000 and now ≈25,000. Monetary use of BTC adoption is dying, as “crypto” monetary adoption is exploding. Bitcoin “leaders” are pathetic now. I wish satoshi n Hal were still around..

@SlimBitcoins @brian_trollz But you support bitcoin? “Bank the unbanked” Yet you cheer on the legacy systems BS that we are trying to get away from.. Yall ppl fcking confuse me Debankibg doesn’t help our country in any way. They will use USDC on tron like most of Korea and other Asian countries because

I told you stupid fucks he was going to just ramp up financial surveillance. Surprise surprise.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just lit a fuse — calling for the complete elimination of PROPERTY TAXES nationwide. “Homeowners are basically forced to pay rent to the government just to live on their own property. That’s wrong,” DeSantis said. “It’s time to fix it.” Do you firmly Support this? A. Huge yes B. No

Bitcoin block 0 resembles a urelement (atom) in set theory: a primitive object with no members/predecessors, not constructed as a successor/set from prior elements, yet foundational — every later block effectively 'contains' it transitively in the chain. x.com/famous_ideal/s…

@Excellion @LynAldenContact @OrangePilledca Tbh the more I think about it you have to be a chill person irl, that’s the only logical explanation unless you already had a boatload on money and get the Calvin treatment but I don’t see that, so you must be cool in person. Nothing else could explain it imo

@Excellion @LynAldenContact @OrangePilledca I could write a book of the dumb things you have done, endorsed, said out loud, and YOU wanna get on Lyn for asking a Question.. a fckin question. You really are a useless idiot, why they keep you around? Good at talking to other idiots with lots of money?

Jeff Booth posted this over on Nostr. What's going on lol.

@BWDaugherty @tohonestycom This just proves you wrong, no matter the level of centralization, if those centralized entities can NOT stop txn’s, can’t block txn, no control over who uses the network, who mines, in reality they have no power over txn relay or building ontop of BSV. Are you a lawyer?

@tohonestycom x.com/bwdaugherty/st…

I’ve been the target of a coordinated effort to discredit my work and diminish my role. That’s fine, until it starts rewriting the record. So let’s set it straight. I served as the Global Public Policy Director for the BSV Association. I didn’t sit on the sidelines, I led the work. I engaged directly with the SEC and CFTC. I authored the federal RFIs, the Senate Digital Asset Market Structure submissions, the CLARITY Act positioning, and the full “regulation by design” strategy. Those filings aren’t opinions, they’re on record, with my name attached. In April 2025, I began raising a critical issue internally: the current structure - particularly the combination of NAR and DAR alongside extreme concentration of control, creates a serious risk that BSV could be classified as a security under U.S. law. I didn’t just raise concerns. I brought solutions. Real board independence beyond Ayre-controlled entities. Transparent disclosure of funding sources. Structural reforms to reduce single-party dominance. That conversation was shut down. That advocacy is exactly what led to my termination. Let me be absolutely clear about something: I am not attacking BSV. I am trying to protect it from a preventable outcome. Because the reality is this, control is too concentrated to ignore. One individual has deployed over a billion dollars and now sits behind nearly every critical layer of the ecosystem: the dominant miner, core development, application infrastructure, media channels, legal alignment, and significant influence over the Association itself. That is not what regulators recognize as a decentralized, mature blockchain. And when you layer NAR and DAR on top, introducing a central steward with enforceable off-chain authority, you create the exact profile regulators evaluate under the Howey framework. This isn’t theoretical. It directly impacts exchange eligibility, institutional adoption, and the viability of every business building on the network. And yet, despite all of this, I’m still here building. SmartLedger remains one of the few independent efforts in the ecosystem. We’re running real infrastructure: DSC-3 proofs, CERTIHASH, Axiom Vault, Axiom Lattice. Not concepts, systems. Because the protocol itself still matters. The foundation is strong. My issue has never been the technology. It’s the control structure that threatens to undermine it. I raised these concerns privately for over a year. Nothing here is new. The filings exist. The timeline is documented. The facts are public and verifiable. Transparency is not sabotage. It’s accountability. And right now, it’s necessary. The technology deserves better than drifting into a regulatory outcome that was both foreseeable and avoidable. There’s still time to correct course. But not much. If you are going to question my motives, ask yourself if you have more to lose than I do, on either side of the equation.

@BWDaugherty Can they change or stop transactions, block transactions, or stop anyone from using BSV? If no, then they are not centralized enough to be called a security. It’s the POWER that comes from centralization that matters. Like how intent is 9/10th of the Law.

@Mericamemed We can tell you would, probably have the patience of a crack head with money looking to score his next fix

I would have 100% fired this person on the spot.

@baclfoo @TFTC21 @DrJackKruse He is indeed retarded

@TFTC21 @DrJackKruse >putting information on the base chain >magnetic declination derp >put in devs that understand we put information on L2 and L3 >base chain will be kept clean is this guy retarded?

Add enough information to the base chain and you extinct its ability to be functional. Armstrong, Lutnik, and Fink have the replacement ready. "Putting information on the base chain is psychotic. The laws of physics are universal." - @DrJackKruse

@elonmusk I wish it was Called Gork Wayyyy cooler to say.. Gork groks

Grok groks

@trustalyze @TheBTCTherapist “Smart” yes that’s totally the word I would use for an activity that’s pure luck based.. definitely wouldn’t use the word lucky.. never.. 🤦‍♂️

@TheBTCTherapist I owned a ton at $0.13 and $0.49 before Trump got elected. It then went north of $3 dollars so yeah, we made money. A ton of people made money. If you were smart then you made money but I suspect you did and just don't want to admit it. You're just a BTC maxi. Go home clown.

I’ve literally never met a single person in my life who owned this and made money

@TheBTCTherapist I usually try to leave $1.00-$0.50 after the trade to track what woulda happened if I tried to HODL long term

@TheBTCTherapist Here are some I left on Coinbase, feel free to hack me and try to steal it 😂

Bitcoin shows the ultimate truth regarding humans, look at the actions and coordination without planned coordination, no verbal communication needed, only actions that tell a story with the immutable data they leave behind.

@Zexxha @itsme_urstruly This is the best way to handle it and most tho gs you don’t understand, assume good intentions. From other people but maybe not smart to assume that with groups of ppl like governments, large corporations, etc

@itsme_urstruly I think sometimes it's out of concern. Some friendly extroverts try to make introverts feel included

Why do people always feel the need to comment on someone being quiet?

@Knesix @HKarlsborn “Transitory” eh? I actually agree with most of your analysis but would add a 4th entity, taxes, they are a material part of the cost of gasoline

"If America produces more oil than anyone, why is gas four dollars?" Great question. Allow me to ruin the comforting idea that "the oil industry" is one big thing that could simply decide to give you cheaper gas if it wanted to. What most people don't know is that "the oil industry" is in fact three completely different businesses between the ground and your gas tank: 1) The drilling company pulls crude oil out of the earth. 2) The refinery, which is a DIFFERENT company, buys that crude from the driller and cooks it into gasoline. 3) The gas station buys that gasoline from the refinery and sells it to you. Three separate businesses, three markups. Each one passing the cost to the next guy in line. When global oil prices spike, the driller charges more because crude always trades at *global* prices. The refinery then has to pay more for that crude. The gas station pays more for that gasoline. You pay more at the pump. That is the chain, and you are at the end of it. Now, there's a silver lining to this. That chain is also pouring money into the American economy at a scale that is hard to overstate. Eleven million jobs. Not just roughnecks. Truck drivers, welders, engineers, port workers, accountants, you name it. We're talking about Two trillion dollars in GDP, which is roughly 8% of the entire American economy. Five hundred and seventy billion in taxes in a single year. That goes to schools, hospitals, roads, fire departments and more. And every barrel sold to Japan or Germany or South Korea is a barrel that USED to be sold by Saudi Arabia or Russia or Iran. That money used to leave America. Now it comes in. Four dollars a gallon hurts. But the money is not vanishing into the atmosphere. It is cycling through American towns, American jobs, and American tax revenue. And the countries buying American crude now depend on Washington, not Moscow and much less Tehran. American oil is no longer just a product. It has become a bond between countries. The pain is real, but will be temporary.

@BitcoinSapiens I bet satoshi saw this and it helped him create bitcoin or soured on the idea.

In 1967, Buckminster Fuller said: “Wealth isn’t gold, it’s energy. By 2000, there will be a scientific accounting system for wealth, aligned with the laws of physics.” He described Bitcoin before it existed.

@ColinTCrypto @DineshDSouza She just kept saying”we take it seriously” “its a big issue” “its a top priority” yet never mentioned one actually solution

Whenever Kamala talks it becomes apparent she has no idea what the answer is or even what she’s going to say, and she is just stalling with words and long pauses so she can think of ANYTHING to say, even if it is only remotely related. It’s always so cringey to watch. Plus, the added hand gestures are so artificial. The whole performance is bad.

If you want to truly understand what it means to have an IQ in the range of 75-80, which is borderline retarded, listen to Kamala Harris explain how to solve inflation.
