Ocean’s Lawyer #BlIP-110

California Senate passes bill giving up to $150K each to illegals for new homes. Bill is expected to pass the assembly. Taxpayers in Cali cool with this?

The “BIP-110 is dead on arrival combo set” Core.30 approved 👍 😂

Need to get something off my chest about something that happened a couple weeks back with the original version of this bip110 merchant list The list caused a bit of a stir due to having incorrect information and was quickly updated to remove the questionable entries, and after just two days there was only fully verifiable information on the list and I fully vouch for the current version The old, wrong version of the list was up for only a day or two, so i doubt much damage was caused, but the way the situation resolved doesn't sit right with me because bitcoiners are obligated to call out lies and bullshit when we see it, especially when it comes from us or people who are "on our side" Accordingly, I am calling out myself and one other member of the "monetary maximalists" group for dishonesty during this brief episode Originally there were a bunch of entries that said "planned". I was unsure what these meant, but I was assured that they were based on solid information After becoming impatient and posting a screenshot of the list on my account, it slowly became clear that the "planned" section of the list had been more or less completely fabricated by one of the group members He later apologized for making "errors" on the list, but the "errors" were so egregious that they could only have been complete fabrications At first I tried to defend the list because I didn't want to have to delete a bunch of companies which would have made it look like bip110 was losing support, when really the support the entries represented were never real in the first place I ended up leaving the list up much longer than was appropriate, and should have removed the "planned" entries as soon as their reliability was called into question This whole thing is silly because the list of actual, verified entries is something we should be proud of. There are tons of pleb merchants supporting and running bip110, and the list keeps expanding every day. We don't need to lie in order to win, and honestly, if we did, then I wouldn't want us to win. The other side is the side that relies on gaslighting and bullshit. Bip110 will win because the truth is on our side So I wanted to make this post to apologize to the bitcoiners who saw the old list before I deleted it, and especially any companies who felt like their views were misrepresented. For not vetting the list more closely before posting the screenshot, I'm sorry. For leaving the "planned" entries up after they had been proven untrustworthy, I'm sorry. And to the person who made up the entries, you know who you are. I was hoping that you'd come forward and admit what you did, but since you haven't yet, I'm doing it for you. We will not win if we see dishonest behavior on our own side and don't call it out. Such behavior from the other side is why bitcoin is in this mess right now Thanks to the anti-bip110ers who called out the list and helped me see it was not what it claimed to be, and thanks especially to the pro-bip110ers who urged me to take the screenshot down. In the end, I think it all worked out for the best, but I wanted to make this public statement to force myself to commit to a higher standard moving forward Bip110 (and ultimately, bitcoin itself) is winning because we hold ourselves to higher standards
