Bitcoin Dudebro 3.125 ⚡️🇬🇧

Thanks to @bitcoinoptech for having me on to discuss Hornet UTXO(1) and how it enables validating mainnet in 15 minutes on a 32-core machine (excluding signatures). Some excellent questions from @murchandamus and @bitschmidty. Segment starts at 25:40.

Your daily reminder that node existence does not imply anything about economic power. These are entirely meaningless numbers.

@_PyBlock_ @murchandamus @darosior This is fundamentally incorrect. You're literally linking to the PR. Zero changes to consensus validation rules.

Yes, Bitcoin Core v30 has a hidden soft fork with changes to nLockTime/nSequence. These changes were added to version 30 here: github.com/bitcoin/bitcoi… Core didn't include it in the release notes so no one would notice. @Murchandamus pretends not to know, asking @Darosior…

@Sorenthek @RudyHavenstein

Things are getting really stupid now.

@Sorenthek @RudyHavenstein This is what happens when there is absolutely no filter. "Don't mention the war!!"

@kaitlancollins This can't be real?

Asked why he didn't coordinate with allies before going to war with Iran, Trump says, "We didn't tell anyone about it. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK?"

@murchandamus @nic_carter @ercwl Good correction 👍🏼

@bitcoindudebro @nic_carter @ercwl They could calculate multiple keys in preparation and then start spending from them at the same time. And if they go after a reused address with a big balance instead, there are a lot more coins to be had:

"Recent advancements have been so significant that this year’s opinions are the most optimistic for the “within 10 years” timeframe that we have ever recorded in our series of surveys: half of the respondents felt the likelihood of such a computer within 10 years was “about 50%” or more likely. By coarse-graining all the experts’ responses, one arrives at an average likelihood of between 28% and 49% within 10 years, that is, by roughly 2035" - Global Risk Institute's 2025 Quantum Threat Timeline (survey of quantum experts) globalriskinstitute.org/publication/qu…

@malonebarry Oh look, robots have replaced humans already

Just two humans having a perfectly natural conversation.

A change to my income means I will have to pause stacking sats for some months, even when stacking is cheapest 😕

@doyle30575 @scottmelker What's blocking anyone from allocating that same capital to Bitcoin today?

@bitcoindudebro @scottmelker Zero? When millions convert billions (and eventually trillions) of their dollars into stables on crypto exchanges, a significant portion of that liquidity will be used to buy BTC. That's relevant.

@ZynxBTC It's cheating to use facts instead of crayons

Ben, I disagree. I believe the bottom is already in for Bitcoin when priced in Gold. For two reasons: 1) Most of the would be Bitcoin sellers have already sold. 2) Capital that rotated into Gold is now selling to cover costs associated with the conflict in the Middle East.

@MarcLobliner 👏🏼🤝🥲

My son posted this on TikTok. Not gonna lie, made me cry a bit.

@realpeteyb123 @nikitabier @zerohedge @TheBTCTherapist Same

@nikitabier @zerohedge @TheBTCTherapist It’s funny cause I have that account muted, probably for lying. 😂

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write. I’m completely devastated. Last Friday, I️ was notified that my monetization had been paused. I’ve shown up on this app for 5 years straight every single day to grow my account to what it is now. I️ never once paid for ads, never bought followers, never did anything but grow in an organic way. After appealing once, I️ was told my account was removed due to spam and inauthentic content. This couldn’t be further from the truth. I️ spend 6-12 hours on X daily in addition to my full time job; creating content, interacting and posting. I’ve adapted to new algorithms, posting strategies and even started a newsletter. I️’ve stopped using any other online platforms as I️ truly value the freedom and community X has brought me. Every single holiday, family event, vacation, wedding, birthday, you name it, I’ve been active on X during it. I’ve never once taken for granted the audience I’ve grown on this app and have thoroughly enjoyed the relationships I’ve built because of it. During this last period in which I️ was removed, I️ proposed to my girlfriend of 7 years. During this proposal trip, I️ stayed active online the entire time, which is nothing new. I have given up years of time to create something bigger with no regret. But now, after being denied and repeatedly called a spam account, with no way to plead my case, my last resort is to post here. Having to do this publicly feels so pathetic. It’s been almost a week and 2 appeals later, and I️ can’t get in touch with anyone who’s willing to help. I haven’t been given any clarification of where I️ went wrong or if there is a pathway to resolution. How can I️ dedicate myself so profoundly to something for so many years without being given any chance to make a simple change in my form of content? I’ve never had my account flagged or even been told of any misconduct in a 5 year period. The first I️ hear of an issue is ironically on pay day after spending hours upon hours working online during my vacation. I️ don’t expect everyone to be able to understand the severity of this situation because they will never see the time, sacrifices and work put into growing an account from 0 followers to over 260k. I️ can’t begin to explain the things I’ve sacrificed to get to the point of being a creator and I️ can’t help but feel like the platform has failed me. To you, this may just be a lighthearted meme account you follow. To me, this has altered my life. I️ was committing to go full time on X and even put in notice at my full time job. It is every content creators dream to be able to take this on full time, and to have it taken away from you almost as soon as you got it, feels gut wrenching. Over the last 2 years I’ve told everyone how important it is to get a blue checkmark, pay for premium and begin to monetize their account. I️ couldn’t have been louder about how much I️ love this platform and truly felt it was the only platform worth being on. The freedom I️ was given was amazing up until now. I️ truly never thought something like this would happen. All of this to say, I️ am not a spam account and I️ deserve reconciliation. I️f there is a specific thing I’ve done wrong, I️ will adapt my content to no longer do so. But a permanent suspension with a false reasoning will never be okay with me. I️ would hope that you are also not okay with taking away the livelihood of the creators on a platform that prides itself on free speech. @XCreators @premium @x @elonmusk @nikitabier

@chcbearsfan @TM8931593363 @Z06Z07 I think that's one of the strengths of your work. Maybe prediction isn't necessary. Maybe more of a case of modeling how different scenarios could impact price of common stock

@bitcoindudebro @TM8931593363 @Z06Z07 Interesting thought. I look at this as more descriptive than predictive. I'll have to think about this one

@chcbearsfan @TM8931593363 @Z06Z07 I think a good next step for your analysis is to help investors understand the implications and how it should impact their investment decisions

I am a MSTR bull. I think CEBE shows that responsible capital allocation is important. That there is a cost to the prefs that BPS ignores. There are thresholds that should be concerning if are crossed and BTC price action doesn't cooperate By no means is this an implodes prediction

@BitMEXResearch Libbitcoin imposes no policy and allows any conflicting txs, as long as fees are sufficient to guard against DoS. The only policy that ever made sense is consensus, which I’ve argued forever.

@chcbearsfan It's a bit concerning. Do you still have MSTR rated as a buy?

@bitcoindudebro From the model's starting price ($87K Q4 2025) to $225K by Q4 2027, that's roughly 60% annual CAGR. From the Q1 2026 at $70K it's closer to 95% annualized. That's part of the point. Even at that growth rate, drag doesn't compress back to starting levels

@TheJoeySwoll 🤝

People don't realize how much strength it takes for you to pull your own self out of a dark place mentally. If you've done that, I'm proud of you.

@murchandamus @boyacaxa Thank you!

@bitcoindudebro @boyacaxa Yes, see BIP123: "BIP Classification", which introduced and regulates the "Layer” header in the preamble. BIPs that propose changes to the consensus rules have the Layer values "Consensus ([soft|hard] fork)".

BIP446: OP_TEMPLATEHASH BIP448: Taproot-native (Re)bindable Transactions were published:

@hillery_dan I wonder if they can switch to weekly or daily dividends to smooth out the remaining noise

Next Monday, STRC back up to $100.
