Got news for you Carter, LN is doing just fine without your acknowledgement by pretty much every metric imaginable.

Yah almost like the rush to put in filters that could be as easily bypassed as the ones in Knots.
For those paying attention at home Samson is still just a larp who is too afraid to let anyone reply to his posts except the simps that follow him.
The Quantum FUD is just that, FUD, and Mechanic and Luke are still following in Roger's and eventually faketoshi's footsteps.
If free speech is a threat to you, your soft fork probably isn't going to do well.
Bitcoin is working as intended:
1. Thwarting spam making it unsustainable for any meaningful amount of time due to fees.
2. Resisting loud non-technical internet mobs trying to change it.
3. Tick tock next block.
ZCash is just as much of a joke today as it was when it came out. No thanks.
Knots folks: I'm here to save Bitcoin from "spam"
Also Knots folks: I don't know how spammers operate. I don't know what drives spam behavior. I don't know what tools they use. I don't know how their ecosystem works. I don't know a single spammer.
Soon Knots folks will finally realize that the only way to fully stop "spam" is a central authority like OFAC, but hey, they'll get there eventually right?
So even with all that paid Ocean marketing Knots still can't rise above ~20% and only has a ~2% chance of actually happening in the betting markets.
2017 - miners and large corporations don't control bitcoin
2026 - an economically irrelevant but loud-on-twitter group of users don't control bitcoin
Let's see who makes this mistake next.
Are you sure about that mechanic?
Hey guys want to put your money where your mouth is on the 444 soft fork? You can find the link to the prediction market below, mechanic is blocking people like crazy over it, probably because the current odds of the SF activating is only at 6%:

Will the "Reduce Data Temporary Soft Fork" be consensus enforced on the most work Bitcoin Chain Tip by March 1st 2026?
The reference for this is Dathon Ohm
The idea was to make bitcoin censorship resistant and threat-modeled to resist government control, to make governments comply with bitcoin, not the other way around. If you want your chain to be government friendly ethereum and solana are waiting for you.
You know you have no integrity when you only let people who follow you reply to your tweets. Great job mechanic.
Once again I'm here to remind you just as I did when Roger was spreading FUD across twitter and the media, the sky is NOT falling. There are simply those that would use fear to control others for the purpose of gaining power.
Bitcoin is for your enemies. But hey best of luck trying to tell people how to use their bitcoin though.
Bitcoin is programmable money. Whether you like it or not.
"Bitcoin will survive Core" - Mechanic
lol walk it back now mechanic, walk it all back
Still trying my best to provide pure signal on my X/Twitter account but sometimes it's too tempting not to shitpost.
bcash playbook all over again
1. demonize core
2. make incorrect technical assumptions
3. scream sky is falling
4. make an emotionally charged but technically unfounded call to save bitcoin from core
5. eventually fork
