🚨 CIA just admitted Bitcoin is their surveillance tool! CIA General Counsel: “Bitcoin isn’t truly anonymous… it’s a TOOL we use for intel gathering.”

What does the act of changing rules this with 55% consensus do to the credibility of rule-stability itself? Nobody holds Bitcoin because of the opcode set. They hold it because they believe the ruleset of 2126 will resemble the ruleset of 2026. The store-of-value foundation.

If the industry ignores the community on BIP110 (no reason to think they will at present) then you have your head in the sand if you don't think they'll make a play for breaking 21m next. "Pleb slop" nodes are literally the only thing enforcing halvings.

For a decade, I told you BTC is run by antagonism between Big Bank/Tech/Gov and an underlying communist rabble. This video could have been written by Lenin or Trotsky, but it’s not. It’s a typical small blocker.

Countries where a YouTube video critizing EU's Chat Control has been banned.

For anyone interested about the truth: Adam Back is absolutely, overtly and veritably lying about me *ever* supporting BIP110, or even being "a fence sitter" about it. I have always strongly, clearly and unequivocally opposed any similar fork proposal since the very earliest suggestions. I have always been, and remain, consistently opposed to: - using consensus rules to tackle specific types of onchain spam, - defensively addressing any kind of "illegal data" moral panic in any possible way (mempool policies included), - enforcing any controversial consensus change (including the ones I agree with, unlike this one) without clear full-ecosystem agreement. It's a bit unfortunate that a very influential voice in the industry is lying about me, since I have a smaller reach to debunk him. Maybe some of you can help me by spreading the correction. Thanks.

Patriotism without nationalism is just state-worship. Praying to the government. Naked obeisance to power. Stockholm syndrome at scale. Modern version of deified Roman emperors, but with bureaucracies. I am vomit

Ce que l’État est en train de faire est limpide. Ils ont compris qu’ils avaient perdu la bataille des idées. Alors ils sortent l’artillerie lourde : un « observatoire de la désinformation intérieure » capable de modifier des algorithmes, de désactiver des comptes, de saisir l’Arcom et de bloquer purement et simplement. C’est tout simplement le ministère de la vérité de 1984. Des dictateurs en culotte courte qui veulent museler tout ce qui ne va pas dans leur sens. Il est temps que ces liberticides déguerpissent. Ça devient vraiment insupportable.

Correct. In contrast... All of the price forecasts for Monero are irrelevant. But why? Most people who own Monero couldn't care less. As more and more people get tired of losing privacy, demand for Monero should gradually rise, and while Monero is going up, why wouldn't people who don't own it buy some?
