fugacity

@blackchainyogi @BitcoinPierre you mean it does everything and is actually decentralized hence why randomly "updating" rules for network is hard, only centralized networks are easy to "update".

@BitcoinPierre I agree with your first point stablecoin is impossible until you are trying to peg it with centralized assets. But disagree with bitcoin is only decentralized solutions, since outdated and hard to upgrade.

The real aha moment is when the crypto people realize that a decentralized stablecoin is impossible and Bitcoin is the only decentralized solution. Until then they hold on to hopium!

@Guyonabuffalowo @DHSgov @grok his priors might make it breach of something but I don't see a threat just a guy confusing basic border enforcement with ww2 folks who mass imprisoned their own citizens. he said "should" and described the nonsense sounding more like nuremberg trials. maybe call to action was it

@DHSgov I hate to be in this position but what is he charged with? It’s a nasty opinion but I’m pretty sure he can say that. @grok what do you think

“Nazi maggot ICE agents should be terrified…and subsequently executed…with two f**king bullets to the back of their Nazi maggot heads!”   After receiving this threat, ICE launched an investigation and identified Daniel Barber as the person who sent these death threats. Barber was arrested on April 10, 2026. He has a lengthy criminal history, including a conviction for murder and robbery with intent to cause bodily harm in 1990.   ICE law enforcement officers are facing an 8,000% increase in death threats. The violence and dehumanization of these men and women who are simply enforcing the law must END.

@Bierhalter2006 @DHSgov you forgot how many attempts there were and even the times they missed the agents and hit other 2 illegals fatally instead accidentally. there hasn't been almost a single day without fascist left assaulting someone like innocents with red hats or in uniform they suspect is ice

@DHSgov 2 since 2003 vs 2 civilians this year. Go fuck yourself

@JDLuckenbach @DHSgov illegals are not immigrants, they never got permission to immigrate, they broke in. there has been an assault or an act of violence almost every day by anti-ice leftists and fatalities from shots aimed at ice facilities, kirk, moltovs, bricks, leftist islamists & trans shooters

@DHSgov Give us some context here. How many ICE agents have died as a result of violence during Trump’s 2nd term— vs. innocent American citizens and immigrant detainees?

@danheld it feels like it was written for the sake of current traders and investors rather than for the sake of helping anyone

I'm anti BIP-361. For those who don't know, it deprecates or freezes coins that don't move after a certain migration date (for post quantum upgrades). It's not a full confiscation of every pre-quantum coin, but a good chunk of them. Bitcoin's primary value props: best monetary policy of any money + extremely hard to seize asset. If the protocol for any reason makes these assets "seizable" (destroyed) through a change in the code, then it impacts both of those value props. Granted, Satoshi's coins being cracked would also negatively impact the perception of seizability. However, intelligent market participants will understand this is the lesser of two evils. For this reason, I'm not for any proposal that allows these coins to become frozen.

@notgrubles your keys your coins

A quantum computer able to steal bitcoins does not grant you legal immunity lol.

@tohonestycom @PARABOLIT so basically not in any way centralized. when people decide independently there is no evidence of central control. fully centralized means 1 party in control which isn't relevant here

Wait a second If they wanted to They can already freeze $BTC coins? So I have to trust the devs they won't do that? I thought bitcoin was trustless immutable code?

It’s happening!

@ctoLarsson oh didn't see, it's a moron with eth premine scam in description, absolute trash of human beings without any exceptions possible

@ctoLarsson who cares. there has always been much more bitcoin than that always capable of doing exactly same thing with market. it's not relevant long term.

BIP-361 to freeze quantum vulnerable wallets: Yes. The alternative is price dipping to near 0. That would be bad for Bitcoin’s reputation. If not freezing: - Say you know that half a million BTC will be market dumped tomorrow. - What will you do today? You will sell today, to re-buy tomorrow at a fraction of the price. - So will everyone else. - Will anyone buy today? No. - So there is little or no floor. - Price will wick down to “impossible” levels. - Then repeat it again a few days later, for a total of 2 million btc. - Oh price will hit near zero. The argument to not freeze, is to completely f over Wall Street, Saylor, treasuries, and everyone else and start again from basically zero.

@IanSmith_HSA @BobMcElrath @murchandamus up to 130 bits for known public key (used p2pkh) and up to 69 bits for unknown pubkey (unused p2pkh). bc for pubkey there's a much faster pollard's kangaroo algorithm for solving afaik.

@BobMcElrath @murchandamus The canary is btc puzzle which has a long list of solved puzzles. Up to 140 bits if I recall.

BIP 361: "Post Quantum Migration and Legacy Signature Sunset" has been published. You can read it here: github.com/bitcoin/bips/b…

@BobMcElrath @murchandamus I find it difficult to care if someone spends existing coins. it was always the assumption most coins could be spent. plenty of incentive to move coins to quantum safe addresses when possible without need to create new incentives.

@murchandamus Seeing a lot of Twitter hate on this. Not sure why. Seems eminently reasonable, if insufficiently specific. The politics around each phase will probably doom it, unfortunately... I suggest a well known puzzle donation address as a canary. bc1quantum ...

@BitPaine why bother freezing at all, who cares if they are spent by someone

The cleanest way to “freeze” quantum-insecure coins is just to sunset *all P2PK UTXOs at a defined block height.* Give Satoshi and anyone else, say, 3-5 years to move them. If they haven’t moved to quantum resilient addresses by then, they are assumed to have been lost or forfeited by their owners. Nothing wrong with sunsetting old network components that present vulnerabilities. This gets rid of the “confiscation” language. It’s a technical bug fix/security upgrade.

@dybcrypto @BitcoinArchive it wouldn't be a soft fork as you'd have to know the keys to use them in any way. regardless it doesn't matter if post quantum unused coins are spent by others, plenty of time to move if necessary by those who are still around.

@BitcoinArchive Can’t they come up with a solution that repurposes the bitcoin in these wallets where they are frozen and added to the security budget so miners get a bigger payout in the future when it becomes a lot more scarce. Kills two birds with one stone

Cypherpunk Jameson Lopp and other Bitcoin developers propose BIP-361 to freeze quantum vulnerable wallets. This could lock dormant BTC like Satoshi Nakamoto’s 1.1M coins, now worth $74B, before quantum computers can steal them.

@BitcoinArchive yeah no, loss is already incentive enough to move coins if you can, none of this is necessary. and the whole phrase to recover it later is nonsense since countless addresses didn't use any phrase and just generated private key directly

@MikePElston @LongTimeHistory @Larshields @Gdady22 migrant, invader, tresspasser, law breaking trash, take your pick. "immigrant" describes a specific legal status in the United States

@dev_bns @LongTimeHistory @Larshields @Gdady22 Finish the sentence: illegal…(what).

Leaked video from inside ICE detention shows women trapped in desperate conditions—smuggled out by husband. Used panties, moldy food, broken shoes, clothes that don't fit because made for men—and a toxic mattress made of insulation. Gabriela Sousa came to U.S. legally granted humanitarian parole from Venezuela—and is married to U.S. citizen husband. Her husband helped the women smuggle out this video they made—with testimonials from several women detained together in these inhumane conditions The video was made secretly inside the Baker County ICE Detention Center in Macclenny, Florida.

@lex_node @lurkaroundfind only centralized scams like eth can be changed and relies on trusting central party in control not to change it. ethtards are scammers and should know their place and it's in the ground rotting

yes, this will be a huge blow to Bitcoin's marketing among NPCs I believe most people who invest in Bitcoin literally believe it is *impossible* for there to be more than 21M BTC, for example they don't understand BTC and every other system rests on social consensus....dealing with the postquantum upgrade will break the illusion for many then they can buy ETH which has always been designed with a conscious understanding and embrace of this correct viewpoint

Bitcoin is going to have a contentious hard fork in the coming years. Both Saylor and CZ have called for freezing Satoshi's BTC. But many in the community believe that violating property rights breaks one of the core principles of Bitcoin. Can BTC really be digital gold when the network freezes people's coins? Even if freezing is pragmatic, it will unfortunately do huge damage to the Bitcoin brand. On the other hand, Ethereum will not be freezing anyone's ETH. Ironically, Ethereum is leaning into cypherpunk ideology just as Bitcoin leaders are starting to seriously discuss freezing BTC.

@lurkaroundfind saylor is dumb. but at least he's not an ethtards, the trash that shouldn't even be breathing. that literally changed rules and confiscated funds whenver they wanted, changed emission and supply. ethtards are biggest scammers in the world that should be hunted like animals
