"See folks with 110 your permisionlessness is not really being eroded, except actually it is though." GFTO. Bitcoin is neutral , permisionless and censorship resistant because that's the entire point of bitcoin. image

"We need to stop data on bitcoin because there could be viruses and grandma could get infected!" But on-chain data just sits there as inert bytes that no node ever executes, and bitcoin isn't a file network, so there's no path by which verifying the chain runs or installs anything. "We need to stop all spam on bitcoin!" But you can't prevent arbitrary data from being embedded, and the BIP itself admits this because it says all you do is force people to disguise the data as financial data or break it into multiple pushes. "We need to slow down spam on bitcoin!" But 110 doesn't stop spam and the authors concede that, so all it really does is pick which data survives, because it restores the 83 byte OP_RETURN limit that Runes already fit inside while it guts inscriptions. "We need to make it harder for spammers to spam on bitcoin!" But forcing data off OP_RETURN and into disguised outputs can make the footprint worse, because provably unspendable OP_RETURN can be pruned while disguised script data sticks around and bloats what every node has to keep. "We need to signal to spammers that we don't want spam on bitcoin!" But arbitrary data has been on bitcoin since the genesis block when Satoshi embedded the Times headline about the bank bailout. "But spam is bad and bitcoin is money!" But we already knew bitcoin was money because it has a price ticker, and that's been the main use case to date.

Important note here kids about basic physics, a car traveling 0.3mph will eventually catch up to a car going 99.6 mph lol. image

Isn't it curious that twitter polls don't translate into miner signaling? Who could have seen this coming?

This is what less than 1% signaling and desperation looks like. image

Yep, been calling this for years. Mechanic and Luke following in Roger's footsteps perfectly, final step is a hard fork to their own coin. image

No Roger Ver, I mean Faketoshi, I mean Mike Hearn, I mean Paul Sports, oh sorry I mean Luke, Bitcoin will not die just because it won't change the way you want it to. image

LOL now mechanic is wondering why he got banned from r/bitcoin. You can't make this stuff up, continuing to follow in Roger's footsteps all the way through. image
