Adam Back is a liar and not a serious person.
He has NOT debunked my articles. You can’t debunk meticulously sourced material.
@adam3us is not to be trusted anymore.
I - and hundreds of thousand of others - left the UK not because I was “oppressed” by the top 1% but because we allowed ourselves to be oppressed by the bottom 25%.
That doesn’t happen here - you are expected to thrive.
Like we once were in the West.
✅ We need a new Bitcoin Core maintainer.
Aside from obvious technical skills, I propose that they:
1.) Love Bitcoin
2.) Own Bitcoin
3.) Don’t publicly revile Bitcoiners
4.) Are not compromised by Brink, HRF, Spiral, Chaincode Labs.
5.) Basic understanding of Austrian economics

9,709 nodes want a "downgrade" everybody! That's right, they want less cartoon wizards and garbage on their savings. Tragic day! On a serious note, keep up the fight! This is how we treat parasites to the network, we attack! This is Bitcoin!
Kaufe STRC, wenn du Cashflow, Stabilität und Planbarkeit willst.
Kaufe Bitcoin, wenn du Wachstum willst.
Kaufe MSTR, wenn du Hebel willst - und bereit bist, extreme Volatilität für Jahrzehnte auszuhalten.
Kaufe Fiat-Geld, wenn du garantiert Kaufkraft verlieren willst.
Kaufe Staatsanleihen, wenn du langsame Enteignung mit Excel-Diagrammen möchtest.
Kaufe Immobilien, wenn du dein Vermögen an einen Ort, eine Regierung und deren Steuern binden willst.
Kaufe Gold, wenn du Bitcoin mit schwächeren Eigenschaften willst. (Dafür mit Glitzer)
Kaufe Altcoins, wenn du Exit-Liquidität für Venture Capital sein möchtest.
Kaufe Indexfonds, wenn du durchschnittliche Rendite in einer entwertenden Währung akzeptierst.
By repeatedly adjusting default mempool policy to match what miners will accept anyway (large OP_RETURN uncapped because “they’ll just mine it via bypasses like Libre Relay, or direct APIs”), we are implicitly conceding that miner greed + economic incentives are the ultimate rule-setter, not node-enforced principles.
Meaning a (cleverly hidden) capitulation of Bitcoin as a decentralized project.
You could say that the “CENSORSHIP!” argument from Core and their supporters on the concept of nodes filtering is a roundabout way of critizing decentralization itself.
Nodes were always supposed to be the sovereign check, they decide what they accapt and relay.
When we keep loosening policy to align with whatever is the current grift “use case”, and by extension what is short term profitable for miners, it trains the entire ecosystem to treat restrictive node behavior as pointless theater.
Over time this hollows out node sovereignty: running a full node becomes more about passively observing the chain that miners + L2s + data-spammers have already decided on, rather than actively enforcing a monetary-first standard.
As a cuck bonus it also leads to higher resource costs for every honest node (bandwidth, RAM, storage) à fewer independent verifiers in practice
Decentralization starts looking like a performance act. Miners produce the blocks, a handful of relays and L2 sequencers steer the flow, and nodes just… validate after the fact.
It’s not a hard-fork capitulation (consensus rules haven’t changed), but it is a cultural, philosophical and operational one. The most profound capitulation in practice.
The philosophy flips from “Bitcoin should resist non-monetary garbage even if it costs us some short-term fee revenue” to “whatever pays miners gets standardized because resistance is futile.”
Once you accept “miners will do it anyway” as the justification for policy, you’ve already handed the character of Bitcoin over to the highest bidder. Nodes stop being the immune system and start becoming just a polite audience.
The OP_RETURN uncap looks a lot like another quiet step toward a two-tier network (miners + insiders set the tone, everyone else just watches. Keep doing this and running a node risks becoming a branding exercise instead of the actual source and guarantee of Bitcoin’s decentralization.
@brian_trollz@felipecreate@hodlonaut Ridiculous prompt. AI built to agree with the user for a better user experience. No wonder you only get shit with this prompt. For others who use their own brain, hodlonautbis spot on.
No, it's not fair. The thread accurately quotes devs (Todd, Corallo, instagibbs, Towns, Poinsot) tying the OP_RETURN uncap directly to Citrea's ZK-proof needs, plus IRC logs, PR NACKs, and the gist's omissions—all verifiable.
Framing as "influence" vs. "example" is subjective debate, not deception or hackery. Substance over ad hominem.

There's a narrative circulating that Citrea had nothing to do with the OP_RETURN uncap.
That Citrea didn't need it. Didn't ask for it. Was just caught in some drama it didn't start.
This thread explores what the people who pushed the change actually said.

@brian_trollz@felipecreate@hodlonaut My bad. How couldn't i believe a fully trustworhty person like you who didn't shoot themselves i the foot not even once. You got me bro 🙄
@brian_trollz@felipecreate@hodlonaut That doesn't mean it paints the whole picture. It give you a weighted response and "cherrypicks" itself. You've falsified nothing. At best your very limited understanding of AI and your very biased and closed up state if mind. Useless.
@high_tower_gear@felipecreate@hodlonaut Every single thing that summary states is literally right there in the sources hodlonaut posted himself.
Its a tool, use it.
@felipecreate@hodlonaut Explain how hodlonaut is manipulating and distorting context, ignoring that Citrea was only a single example of how relay filters that can be bypassed in damaging ways will be when people want to build something
@hodlonaut The simple point is, they didn't ask for it, and they didn't change their protocol to align with the larger op return.
If it was "done for them", why didn't they actually use large op return? Answer: it wasn't. They were just the example.
