Bitcoin hard fork with CUSF and drivechains

Bitcoin doesn't need to scale for the whole world, and trying to do so comes with trade-offs. You lose the exclusivity that humans naturally crave, the thing that makes it feel special. It turns a premium asset for financial freedom into something ordinary.
I'm not against intermediaries. I use Liquid and Ark myself for small spends, so the other side doesn't see my actual UTXO. But scaling for everybody? Lol! The real value is in its hardness. You can't print more of it. It's a push system, not a pull system. Most people are comfortable with pull, but once you get a taste of true push, there's no going back.
All this talk about making Bitcoin easier to use so people adopt it .. whose problem is that? The people who thought it was too hard in 2011 and finally bought in 2020 didn't hurt me. People learn when they need/want to learn.

How is there zero demand? Even Ignoring all these hacks, every cold storage user wants vault-like security. People already jump through absurd hoops to protect their bitcoin, and many leave it with custodians entirely because they don't trust themselves enough to self-custody safely. If you can 1000x the security of self-custody, the demand is obviously there. Love utxoracle but man half the shit you write could come from simple jack instead of steve

i repeat: the maximalists aren’t actually maximalists. They are largely altcoin enablers. They will literally tell you to sell your bitcoin if you want any kind of scale to happen. We need drivechain and we need to scale.

@brian_trollz @the_ecash When you say "miner centralization" do you mean ASIC centralization, or just mining pools (which doesn’t matter at all)
English
@the_ecash If you think that drivechains would decentralize mining, then you think this would as it ultimately creates the same dynamic, or at least the potential for it.
English
I'm skeptical that this leads to more decentralization, as opposed to more centralization pressures in the longer term, but I guess we're gonna find out if I'm right together.

I think @zooko is by far the most misunderstood person in Bitcoin
But a top 10 bitcoiner by contributions to both cryptography & internet money tech that’s 100% BTC-compatible
More bitcoiners should study his work: the smartest ones are already trying to bring Zcash to Bitcoin
English
@Vladcostea @zooko Paul Sztorc is the smartest person in Bitcoin, and he chose zCash for his privacy drivechain
That should tell you something about zCash
Zooko said drivechains are a real competitor to zCash
That should tell you something about eCash
English
ZCash built the anonymity technology
ECash will take the technology and put it on a merge mined drivechain
halfin@halfin
Looking at ways to add more anonymity to bitcoin
English
@gladstein I know. I’m jealous of zCash too. I wish Bitcoin had that technology
It could with the zSide drivechain
English
@itsLIRAN @Vladcostea Satoshi created altcoins. When I got into Bitcoin, I was told Bitcoin would absorb all the good ideas from altcoins, and that’s why they are useless
Bitcoin is doing nothing. Core devs made a default policy change, the 90% of the influences threw a tantrum
English
@Vladcostea Tether is in no shape way or form in competition with Bitcoin. It's a centrally issued asset that can be frozen at will.
C'mon Vlad, come back to this side of the fence... I know you used to get it, but I think you dislike the community and that's what's driven you to these alts
English
Peddling nonsense once again... If you're so interested in Bitcoin privacy why did you launch a shitcoin rather than working on improving privacy in Bitcoin?
Oh yeah, harder to get rich that way.

"Tell them to never sell their bitcoin. Good. Now start selling."
English
@EmbraceClown @gladstein What difference does that make? The blockchain is already created and nodes are distributed
English
@eCashr @gladstein Are you that naive? They can be corrupted, threatened, coerced, killed, etc.
English
@EmbraceClown @gladstein >Public founders are too big a risk vector for global money protocols
Why? What is the risk?
English
@eCashr @gladstein Zooko’s existence and public appearances already discount Zcash below Bitcoin as an inferior money. Regardless of Governance structure. Public founders are too big of a risk vector for global money protocols.
English
@Vladcostea @ceterispar1bus Bitcoiners are so jealous of zcash 😂
I have to admit, so am I
That’s why I want drivechains
English
@ceterispar1bus The difference between you and Zooko is that he met Hal, worked with him, and talked with him on his deathbed.
You’re only assuming what someone you never met would think, based on very little information.
English
really don't like when people use satoshi or hal finney's past words to promote zcash.
super disrespectful to take a dead guy's words to promote something that wasn't around while he was alive and competes with the thing he built.
you have zero idea if he would support zcash.

Like the word racist, the overuse of shitcoin has made it lose its meaning.
Shinobi@brian_trollz
A very non-technical @chibitdevs attendee today: "I learned that drivechains are a shitcoin today." Tonight was a good bitdevs.

The future doesn't look bright for Bitcoin.

A sign that the crypto industry is maturing: Onchain revenue is now much more distributed.
