@asanoha_gold Crazy you had any respect for him in the first place

Tone Vays spends all day crying that BIP-110 is censorship. Decides solution is to censor BIP-110 proponents. It’s absolutely wild how many people I have lost all respect for, but Tone Vays has got to be one of the worst. What an absolutely pathetic little beta he has become.

@CoinCornerDanny @adam3us @peachbitcoin Why would anyone ask the exchange they use their opinion on a bip? Sounds made up

@adam3us @peachbitcoin CoinCorner have had 1 customer I'm aware of ask about it. It is a nothing burger.

Peach has a very active telegram group since 4+years. No one ever mentioned BIP 110. People just care about stacking REAL sats.

@BitcoinIsaiah You think you've seen the long term trend from 16 years of an asset designed for the next 150 years? Take your $200,000 block reward and sit down

@cryptocentre1 It’s not about replacing it today. It’s about the fees trending up over the long-term. The trend is going in the exact opposite direction right now.

The most bearish thing about Bitcoin right now is not the price, spam or treasury companies. It’s the fact that transaction fees are at 10 year lows and have been sub 1 sat/vB for more than a year. Where are the on-chain users? Where’s the activity? Where’s the demand for valuable block space? Screw 1 sat/vB. I want to see 100+ sat/vB. Make block space valuable again!

@adam3us Sorry, who exactly is "Bitcoin"?

On the filter fork topic. I don't usually have time, but this morning listened to one of the twitter spaces from earlier in the week, with some well meaning relative bitcoin newcomers, that humanized them, and their concerns and thoughts for why they thought that made it logical to support 110. My feeling after listening, is if these are the people with #110 in their handles, I'm sad to see them about to fork off and get disillusioned without understanding why bitcoin rejected 110 robustly. So here's a more empathetic, constructive higher level version of explaining why not. I hope it's high-level and first-principles enough that everyone can follow. They seem to want to understand what makes people tick, and are suspicious of intent. So, if someone asked me why is Bitcoin important and what is it, I'd say my (personal) mission and hope for bitcoin is to build the cypherpunk future, that "Snow Crash" was a blueprint, and work backwards from there. Bitcoin I hope leads to fully free markets via bearer unseizable, hard mathematically dependable money. Not everyone is comfortable with that level of freedom, but that's my view. And at this point, I believe that surprisingly, even now many governments have come to understand and value bitcoin's gold-like mathematical assurance, a positive development. Others may have milder views than myself, but still like hard censorship resistant money. Because of motive suspicion, if it's not obvious: I hate spam with a passion, that's how I came to design hashcash while researching decentralized bearer money with others, and running nodes in privacy related cypherpunk p2p networks nearly three decades ago. People seem upset about the default op return policy change in bitcoin. I will just assert, there are extremely robust and simple reasons for bitcoin changing default relay policy, and most just didn't do their research, so don't know what those are, or maybe not technical enough to fully understand though there have been 1000s of posts trying to explain in various simplified ways. So that lack of understanding lends itself to shared build-up of false narratives. So here's my back-to-basics higher level explanation. The decentralization needed to create cypherpunk money has implications a: side effect of decentralization is that you can't impose your views on others. The very decentralization mechanism that helps that, is working against what BIP 110 wants, which at it's most basic is a quest to police other people. I understand supporters don't see their intent like that, but introspect deeper. You can modify your software, but not anyone else's. Another critical and incredibly robust technical bitcoin immune system is bitcoin can't have people who don't understand technology basics insist on eroding security, decentralization robustness and core properties. That would end badly, fast, and so people will fight you on that. So the message is Bitcoin respectfully says "no" to what you want. Sorry, and bitcoiners do genuinely understand and empathize that you mean well, have high level thoughts that make emotional sense, and articulate sensible bitcoin-defensive high level ideas, but they are not grounded and without you seeing it, the way you propose to achieve your ideas, hard-conflict with free cypherpunk permissionless money. My advice is to listen to more experienced people who understand the system and why it works the way it does, to whatever detail you want to understand the grounded reasons for why this is the implication of decentralization and cypherpunk money. I guarantee you the developer and protocol ecosystem shares and exceeds your views on bearer hard money (and dislike of spam). You may not agree with individual developers choices, views, way of expressing themselves etc, BUT you also need to understand the IETF-like decentralized technical consensus process creates a protective change resistance, that is highly effective at protecting bitcoin mission. The implication of which is no developer can change anything without technical consensus from hundreds of other developers and protocol observers who are pedantic and extremely knowledgeable clever people who won't let any unaddressed technical question past. The protective change resistance is robust and decentralized in an amplifying way because of this technical consensus. And the many highly technical mainline developers' cypherpunk mission mindsets are probably far more determined than you can even handle on clarity of understanding and views about freedoms on permissionless networks, as many of you are probably still subconsciously inured by the matrix, where they have transcended that, and grew up immersed in it decades ago. They think natively in this space, while you are just grappling with the surface. Many wont have internalized or have the experience to know how this internet physics works, where there is no policeman, no policy authority, just mathematics, free market and hard money. That has implications for your views also, unfortunately. Now the tough pill, which is unfortunately true: If you won't listen to reason, educate yourself, learn, the same radical freedom applies to you: your permissionless recourse is to club together and create a fork. But bitcoin won't be joining it. (With respect and no sleight intended.) Please rejoin bitcoin now, or later if you're not convinced and need to experience 110 forking off and fizzling for yourself to start that journey of introspecting and learning. It would be sad if bitcoin lost people disillusioned due to simple lack of understanding of what's going on there, we're all trying to defend bitcoin and keep it on mission. Including btw the 110 technical promoters, just they wandered off plot somehow. Join the cypherpunks on bitcoin, come cypherpunk summer🌞 in a few weeks.

@ArthurAssendune @rich_rdctd @KathrynPorter26 @UKLabour Oh no, not the poor old Climate Scientists™️

@rich_rdctd @KathrynPorter26 @UKLabour Poor old Rich doesn't understand the seriousness of the situation. Climate Scientists are freaking out it's that bad. We need to be on a war footing. Net Zero will probably turn out to be too little and too late.

How lucky these oil and gas workers are.... DESNZ is going to help them find new jobs that pay only a fraction of what they have been earning I expect they're truly grateful It's baffling that the unions are so hostile to @UKLabour's North Sea oil and gas strategy 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😜

@Jamesal51564206 @GBPolitcs I dunno, when company stocks are this overvalued and borrowing costs ain't coming down any time soon, cash is king.

@cryptocentre1 @GBPolitcs Fair point, ish. But equally - it's only tax on interest on cash held in an investment account. Only a moron would keep cash in there

🚨NEW: The government has announced that, from April 2027, interest on cash in Stocks and Shares ISAs will be taxed at 22%, and under-65s will only be able to put up to £12,000 a year in a cash Isa, down from £20,000

@Jamesal51564206 @GBPolitcs The super wealthy don't care about their 20k a year S&S isa. It's the middle class who are once again being pick pocketed

@GBPolitcs Who the fuck has 12k cash a year to save? Not the average Joe. So the outrage is once again manufacturered by the super wealthy. This country is fucked until we regulate the press.

@DrRebeccaTidy Wait until he hears about bitcoin

This was posted by a landlord on Facebook. He earned £225k on a £125k investment over 16 years & he's complaining. These are the kinds of people complaining about the Renters' Rights Act.

@ZynxBTC @saylor Hard to believe it's the same guy who posts cringe ai slop every day on here

@saylor How can you hate this man. What a legendary speech.

When I gave this speech in October 2022, Bitcoin traded near $20,000, Strategy held 130,000 BTC worth about $2.6 billion, and $MSTR was ~$24 split-adjusted. Weeks later, after Bitcoin fell below $16,000, our debt exceeded the combined value of our BTC and cash reserves by ~$300 million, and $MSTR fell into the $13 range by year-end. We stayed focused, strengthened the company, and executed our strategy. Since then, Strategy has raised over $60 billion of additional capital and invested it in Bitcoin, adding more than 716,000 BTC. Today, our BTC and USD reserves exceed debt by ~$48 billion. Thank you to everyone who believed, endured, and took the long view.

@brumbitcoin Has she got another group in mind per chance?

Before you ask...yes, she is.

@SaniExp @naija_bitcoin @w_s_bitcoin @Meditation_Man Nah it's better for everyone this way

@naija_bitcoin They could have donated to a lot of projects instead Mainly @w_s_bitcoin, @Meditation_Man & Myself 🥲🥲

🚨🚨🚨 Someone just broadcasted 5 transactions totaling 107 BTC to the Bitcoin "burn address" 1111111111111111111114oLvT2 😢😢 explorer.timechainindex.com/transaction.ht…

@Punk4725 @Ledger You must be new here

This is terrifying @Ledger. I just received a physical scam letter at my home address in Italy 🇮🇹 How the hell do scammers have access to the addresses of Ledger users? This goes way beyond phishing emails now. People’s safety is literally at risk.

@hodlonaut Oh the irony of "when was the last time you beat your wife" being the easiest question for anyone not maliciously beating their wife to answer

Adam said I should have talked to devs for the articles I wrote. (Weird since O'Beirne, Atack and Dimov are on record in the article) When I told him Newbery, Jonas (not dev), fanquake and AJ Towns were approached and chose to not reply at all, Shinobi chimed in calling me a "fucking clown" and that the questions were the problem, daring me to show them. So, here are the full emails that went IGNORED and UNANSWERED from the people inside the network I've documented. They desperately don't want to engage on the real topics of the articles.

@zerohedge Have they tried pivoting to AI?

@Mjwxb @BitcoinErrorLog Linus Torvalds? Markus Persson? You must be new here if you think the Bitcoin software satoshi released worked for 17 years later with 0 protocol flaws. Use your brain as you would say

@cryptocentre1 @BitcoinErrorLog Proof it was a team, use your brain. It’s not possible for 1 person to roll tech that involved out (solo conceptualization, development, prototyping, testing) and it still works 17 years later with 0 protocol flaws. Provide 1 example of a tech where that’s happened.

I don't wanna get involved, but is the core argument that Adam is not Satoshi that he denies it? Or are there actual alibis, refutations, and such? I hope Satoshi is never unveiled, but I'm curious how Bitcoiner-retarded this is, in addition to how journo-retarded it is.

@Mjwxb @BitcoinErrorLog Yeah ok you read it from someone else who just made it up. What proof is there that it was a team of people?

@BitcoinErrorLog Ok so first of all I didn’t make fun of anyone’s theory, secondly what I presented as an alternative isn’t something I just made up. Your approach to this conversation is bizarre.

@Brian5_8_1899 @megynkelly I think you're gay, bro

Poor Micro, trying to slut shame me, a happily married woman for nearly two decades. Teeny tiny men with micro manhoods often resort to misogynistic attacks. It’s okay Micro! I’m sure your disability makes it really tough to look at more successful women!

@Glinner @JamesMelville Yeah the British should have just murdered all the Irish after the IRA committed atrocities then it all would have been solved, easy peasy

@JamesMelville October 7th is plenty justification. Don't commit atrocities if you don't want a response.

Gaza. It’s been completely flattened. Inhumane. Disgraceful. Absolutely no justification for this whatsoever.

@mattkratter Didn't you work Peter Thiel?! Did you Google him first or only find out after?

Is the Bitcoin community just going to memory-hole the Andy Back allegations? If so, let's also stop pretending that we're any better than the fiat pedophiles.
