DROTHER - 🪢 CAT-110 #RugTheSpammers

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.

About five years ago someone showed up at a bitcoin meetup and asked me what I thought could kill bitcoin. I thought long and hard reflecting on the blocksize war and said the only thing I could think of was if Core developers were captured and stopped coding for the users. He objected and said that users would just simply fork bitcoin and continue on. I just shrugged and apologized for my weak argument. Run knots and signal for BIP-110. Resist the social attack on Bitcoin.

"We need to separate money from the State, because the state money doesn't have enough use cases" -Said nobody ever Bip110

It's time to make the switch to @BitcoinKnots and signal for BIP-110 #Bitcoin is money.

I've spent the last month looking closely at how Bitcoin Core and the network around it has operated the last years. A blatant cultural and philosophical shift. Shocking arrogance and contempt for dissent on display around the OP_RETURN uncap. Opposition was reframed as "harassment", "drama" and "brigading". Consensus was simply declared, in the face of massive controversy and opposition. Bitcoin is imo clearly drifting towards “anything goes if there is a use case out there” relativism. Bitcoin is supposed to be money. That's the mission. Separating money and state. Not being a data layer adapting to the needs of venture-backed projects. Staying neutral while Bitcoin drifts in this direction isn't something I can justify anymore. It feels urgent that something is done to counter it.

Run BIP110. Run Datum and mine like your Bitcoin bags depend on it, because they do.

@calibrated_lies @SatsScholar Where there is profits to be made there is a way.

@dr0ther @SatsScholar Fraking got mothballed, but all of that oil is still there and the plants waiting to extract are also still in place. It's not flip the switch but pretty close.

Wow…

Once you understand that 21 million is not enforced through code, but by culture, you'll understand why redesigning Bitcoin to work better for ETH-style projects is the end.

Respect to Hodlonaut for using his reach to shine a light and help Bitcoin get rid of its Spam Pest problem. Homework + Disrespect toward SpamScammers in the social layer + Knots + BIP-110 + Ocean + DATUM + BitAxe + SeedSigner are Bitcoin users best options for sovereignty.

Kratters doing the proof of work. Love you mate

I run a node. I run Knots. I'm signaling for BIP110. If you want one of the BEST explanations of why this battle for Bitcoin as money is happening, it's clearly stated here by Matt Hill founder of Start9. Thank you @start9labs CORE HAS NOT PRIORITIZED NODE RUNNERS. They are building for something else. Nodes are not dropbox's for the world's excrement. Bitcoin is money. Shout out to @BTCsessions 's channel. Full episode here: youtu.be/Dv1-JfjxuAY?si…

Core 30 did not cater to those would run it. It catered to those who seek to use Bitcoin in novel ways at the expense of those who would run it.

If you had any doubts about running a BIP110 node ↓

@The_BIT_BABY @caoimhinllc You too?

@caoimhinllc Medal of honor

Run Knots with BIP110. Rug the haughty spammers.

The Spam on Bitcoin is permanent. If we do nothing to counter spam, then Spam Facilitation becomes permanent. Give me a 12 month test drive to mitigate the Spam over 12 more months of Spam Facilitation. Pledditor is fuckin ReTodded.

MAJOR PRIVACY WIN [Video below] And @Moto just partnered with @GrapheneOS to build a phone you actually own, that's not a @Google product. While: @Samsung gutted recovery mode, bricking devices. @Apple added ID Collection and backdoors (video soon). Video below

Windows 7 still holding up the world.

@SatsScholar WOW. As a GOS user, I think this is AWESOME!!!!!

Big.
