#Bitcoin has the best qualities of the #Dollar (but better) AND the best qualities of #GOLD (but better). Low adoption isn't a reflection of a flaw in bitcoin, but of a flaw in human recognition. 95% of the world still doesn't get it. If you don't yet, try harder.

People love to think they are smarter than Bitcoin holders If you think Bitcoin is worthless, then you are basically saying that you are smarter than; •Paul Tudor Jones •Ray Dalio •Stanley Druckenmiller •Tim Cook •Cathie Wood •Michael Saylor •Tim Draper •Ken Griffin

Jesus Christ the Center for Countering Digital hate is an illogical censorship scheme. https://t.co/NuRiRxnpfB If you think running @BitcoinKnots is censorship, wait until you hear about this!

For if we decentralise mining, winning this battle becomes a whole lot easier / it might resolve itself (but it can't so long as mining is centralised)

I'm starting to think the best defense, is offense; instead of infighting about filters, we should be putting all attention into decentralising mining; instead of supporting and promoting knots, we should be supporting and promoting DATUM.

Absolutely ridiculous that @aantonop comes out now calling the op return data carrier size limit censorship. Does he realise the limit has been there for years? Why is he only complaining about it now? Clueless

After working with Claude over the past two weeks, ChatGPT feels so shit. It just always misses the mark, over-cheeses things and rushes to nice sounding, fluff filled wrong answers. Where Claude really seems to GET ME.

So, if you can help make that a reality, why wouldn't you? It's an easy way to deliver value and LOADS of people will applaud you for it. It takes work to understand why this isn't a good thing, and people don't like doing work

A lot of people genuinely think those DeFi use cases are valuable, and for early-stage bitcoin maximalist, the idea of moving everything onto bitcoin to beat all the other alt coins is an AMAZING idea! "Yeah, let's put it all on bitcoin cos then alts go away and bitcoin wins!"

It's a lot less sexy and rewarding to just be a maintainer. Most people want to build, make an impact, deliver change, be recognised for doing something great, put it on their CV and wear it with honour. Working with affinity scam projects, is a way to do that -

Allowing other use cases and catering to people who ask for "small" change, is an easy way to deliver "value". Where, for people wanting to make an impact within bitcoin L1, there isn't really any easy, risk-free value to add - so why risk it? Why do the hard thing?

I have a theory that a lot of what's driving the shitcoinery at Bitcoin Core is simply the "low impact death spiral" - adding small things that are seemingly low risk and clear/assured value, but small. These pileup and the product becomes a mess, core mission diluted. Failing.

🚨BREAKING: British veteran breaks down live on TV over state of the country: "Rows and rows of white tombs for what? A country of today? No, I'm sorry. The sacrifice wasn't worth the result. I fought for freedom, and it's darn-sight worse now than when I fought."

You can tell Bitcoin is destined to fail by how obsessed its community is with the price rather than any real utility. It’s been over 16 years, and still, nobody uses it for anything meaningful. Bitcoin serves no practical purpose beyond speculative gambling. Compare that to
