@Beautyon_ @TeamYouTube Dispute the subscription charge with your credit card company.

@TeamYouTube My account was terminated in error for "Community Guidelines" despite not posting public videos or given an example of the alleged violation. My appeal was rejected by a bot. More importantly, I am still being charged for my YouTube Family subscription monthly while locked out. Please help me restore access.

@BrianRoemmele Oh, boy. The DEI of nature has entered the chat. When the f*ck will we realize there's a reason that sperm is "lazy"? It shouldn't be aided.

A nanobot picks up a lazy sperm by the tail and inseminates a waiting egg with it. Not the survival of the fittest?

@GrassFedBitcoin Artix is flipping the bird to age verification too, Lunduke just reported. x.com/LundukeJournal…

@GrassFedBitcoin Devuan is actively resisting. x.com/jaromil/status…

Alright so I guess there's going to be a non-age-check fork of every single Linux distro going forward. The issue is that the big corps using Linux will continue using the cucked versions. Funny - that's exactly what happened in Bitcoin. All the large corps still use Core while the based plebs all switched to Knots/110.

@BitcoinTimber @Printful Great design! But, alas, I no longer wear plastic.

New drop. bitcointimber.com/product/bitcoi…

@CryptoCloaks Done. You guys busted my mining cherry so you'll always have a special place in my heart. Plus, weak losers need to be ridiculed and rendered feckless.

If you want to help us fight the losers and have gotten an order from us and love it. shoot us a quick review. Really helps fight the BS. g.page/r/Cdmg2KlCevD5…

I love Bitcoiners. When someone tries to tank our google reviews with fake 1 stars, all I had to ask was can you help me and leave a review of your order. Getting a bunch of reviews in. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nice try with the fake reviews loser.

@bitcoincoreorg Go home. You're drunk.

A new release candidate of Bitcoin Core, v31.0rc1, is available for testing. This is a new major release, and follows v30.2. Work-in-progress release notes are here: github.com/bitcoin-core/b… Binaries are available here: bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-co…

@elonmusk A step backwards so far. Answers are more infuriating than before. Plus, spruce up the presentation. Wide paragraphs of text are not fun to comb through.

What are your initial impressions of Grok 4.20? Major upgrades are still landing every week.

BREAKING: SQUARE TO AUTO-ENABLE BITCOIN PAYMENTS FOR MILLIONS OF SELLERS Square will auto-enable Bitcoin payments for all eligible sellers starting March 30, 2026, according to an updated Terms of Service notice sent to users. The change means millions of businesses using Square could soon begin accepting Bitcoin by default, rather than opting in manually. The rollout is part of Block’s broader push to integrate Bitcoin payments across its ecosystem, leveraging the Lightning Network for fast, low-cost transactions. Sellers will still have the option to disable the feature or automatically convert Bitcoin to USD at the point of sale. With Square powering millions of merchants globally, this marks a major step toward making Bitcoin a standard payment method in everyday commerce.

@GrassFedBitcoin @BitcoinMania___ 🫡

Remember all the "omg my grandma missed a hospital appointment because of the trucks" or "we're getting no sleep due to all the honking" Reminds me of Greg and all these losers complaining about some absurd edge case where a UTXO can be generated that's unspendable per the BIP-110 rules. I don't give a sh*t! Bitcoin isn't a network that exists for the purposes of storing junk data on other people's computers.

I watched. Giacomo holds two positions. That BIP-110 is bad and that even if it was good, it's set a negative precedent if it were to activate. The latter he elaborates on with something along the lines of "If BIP-110 activates, that'd mean *people* are in charge of Bitcoin and people are retarded - look at how they acted during COVID!" Yes, unfortunately it is that bad of an argument. Bitcoin is a dynamic system that can and must change at times in order to preserve itself. He does acknowledge this "homeostasis" argument but fails to apply context that can trivially demonstrate its harmlessness. i.e BIP-148 which had no consensus and as I keep saying, we did any way, after which Bitcoin was much better for having had it happen. At the end of the day, Bitcoin is controlled by node runners and you can be scared of populism/democratic uprisings among unwashed masses all you like, but there's no one more appropriate to have that level of influence. It's demonstrably not devs or miners. Many would like it to be - notice the ball-gargling going on with BIP-54. (Because nodes couldn't care less about it while a few devs liaise with a giant miner to get it pushed through. Murch describes this as "genuinely popular" which he contrasts with BIP-110's apparent unpopularity. The latter having only *checks notes* 7000 nodes.) If not nodes....then who? This isn't democracy which is essentially 99% of people pretending to decide what to do with 1% of people's resources getting betrayed and thus voting increasingly vindictively and causing the socialist death-spiral that just ends up gutting the middle class. This is Bitcoiners deciding what happens with *their network* and they have proven remarkably adept at maintaining it. Which isn't surprising - they have skin in the game. Not only that, but there is literally no other defence against 51% attacks (which are trivial in today's landscape), and corrupt/sloppy devs.

@paulsaladinomd @KenDBerryMD If I lambast you will you send me some bars to try?

Hey bud, in an industry where almost everything else out there is full of horrible stuff (processed sugar, seed oils, fake fats/flavors/sweeteners etc.), I hardly think making a protein bar entirely from real food that tastes amazing is "selling out." I'll have the team send you guys some to try- you gotta let me know what you think but I think you'll love them and they'll come in handy when you are on the go or traveling. I've always been a fan of steak and eggs but these don't travel well in a gym bag, or a backpack you know? Give the people something good to make their lives easier...

If you ever see me SELL OUT and start promoting my new Protein Bars, call 911, because I’ve either been kidnapped or I have a brain tumor! Eat meat/eggs/fish and work on your gullibility…

@LundukeJournal Well, that just made my OS decision a heck of a lot easier. Who knew @system76 was so full of petty limp dix?

System76 is now censoring and banning users, in their r/pop_os Reddit, for asking if the company will require age verification in their Linux Distribution (the Ubuntu-based Pop!_OS). reddit.com/r/pop_os/comme…

Fair point. But the mere act of trying to introduce anything AFTER bitcoin is not the typical shitcoin path. It's corporate greed trying to cash in and deserves ridicule. Had they gone eth first and then realized the errors of their way by replacing it with bitcoin, I'd be their loudest fan. But they went in reverse. The only conclusion is that they don't truly understand bitcoin.

@dougdevine @SteaknShake Many OG Bitcoiners went through the ‘shitcoin phase’. It’s a temporary aberration, so I cut some slack.

Ten months ago today, Steak n Shake launched its burger-to-Bitcoin transformation. Bitcoin payments are faster and saves us money! We have reinvested savings into product quality. Our Strategic Bitcoin Reserve also funds Bitcoin bonus pay for our employees. Our same-store sales have risen dramatically ever since we launched Bitcoin payments. Thank you Bitcoiners! 🧡

Cool. Thanks for the info. I'll check it out. I don't see how using Datum via Braiins will negate Braiins's requirement of using Telegram, KYC, verifying the origin of BTC payment, and getting assigned a BTC address to use their hashrate service. But I guess that's why you gave me some more resources to investigate.

@dougdevine Doug, none of that applies to mining with Datum.

Quoted post = Underrated post. There's zero excuse for anybody running Datum to not expose it to internet, rent the hash rate and point it to own Datum. Pleb can sell earned sats to pay for the rented hashrate. Because plebs do it to keep Bitcoin decentralized and healthy, not for profit, spammers can never compete. We should be able to rent all available hash rate and squeeze spammers out.

@cgarrison0908 @paulsaladinomd No, it's not. Nicotine is NOT addictive. All the other chemicals is what makes the addiction.

@dougdevine @paulsaladinomd It’s addictive just not bad for you by itself.

Still think nicotine is healthy? Think again…

@LorenHodl Shades of Lake Satoshi. I highly recommend it.

Idea we kicked around at our last local meetup: A bigger NorCal Bitcoiner hangout weekend. • Ride bikes / hike / lake during the day • Meet back up for BBQ and beers • Talk Bitcoin late into the night • Do it again the next day No tickets. No conference. No sponsors. Just Bitcoiners getting together. Would you travel for something like this?

@DonaldMichael @bariweiss @CBSNews Congrats on winning the internet today with this ref.

@bariweiss @CBSNews "I'm coming Elizabeth, CBS news is reporting the news"

Incredible investigation today from @CBSNews. Our reporters visited "ground zero" for hospice fraud: Los Angeles, California. One building had 89 registered hospices . . . Read it here: cbsnews.com/projects/2026/…
