Literally thought he was talking about Hamilton Odell Calle etc. Up until he mentioned "threatening" a hard fork lol View quoted note →

If you want to build raw power and brute strength. Attach lose heavy chains to your weights. As the chain lifts off the ground the weight increases. As your muscles contract/extend the tension increases.

The stories and information posted here are the hallucinations of an autistic schizoid. Only a fool would take anything a random stranger says on the internet seriously without doing their own research.

Oppositional defiance disorder = Authority must be earned and should always be scrutinized

Bitcoin red team and the Bitcoin consortium are bigger threats to self custody, non kyc Btc, independent devs/their products and software, etc. etc. Than anything else right now.

In the future, the "forking cycle" is going to be studied as closely as the halving cycle. People won't be thinking in cycles of 4-5 years. They'll be thinking in terms of 8-12 year cycles. Time will prove me right, we are entering the 2nd forking cycle. It won't just be that new utility coin fork and the bip110 fork. Core pedocoin will probably also fork away from the main chain just like bip110. There will probably be a dozen other forks in the next couple years, opportunists trying to scam, random people with actual good idea that just cant get consensus etc. Software maintaining the chain right now: Corev≥30 = roughly 20% of nodes Knots = roughly 19% of nodes Older versions of core = roughly 80% Others = roughly 1%

That feel when your cold wallet is a scrap of paper View quoted note →

Mempool policies cannot cause a chain fork. Only violations of hard Consensus Rules can do that.

Now is probably a good time to dump anything you have in lightning and transfer it back to actual Bitcoin on chain. Idk, with the Bitcoin red team scam going on right now, I feel like lightning will be a target. Odell has spent the entire past week telling everyone to move their Btc out of cold storage (the most obvious red flag from red team)

Good morning.

Perfect timing for the red team scammers eh. Y'all don't actually believe this is a coincidence? View quoted note →

You can look up Rob Hamiltons and see the statements he has made about this. It's so fucking obvious what these scammers are doing. They want you to put your sats on exchanges prior to bip110 Either another hack is waiting or something else. Just don't fucking panic, stay the fuck calm and keep your sats cold. View quoted note →

Seriously just look at who is involved. Rob Hamilton NVK Odell Calle It's very obvious what is happening. Keep your sats in cold storage, do not be manipulated by these grifters View quoted note →

Yea all those notes came from a prompt where I asked for information about Bitcoin red team and their connection to NVK and opensats. And those 4 people kept coming up. Rob Hamilton, NVK, Odell and Calle. 4 names you should never trust

Critics argue that the circle uses Calle’s privacy layer to absorb user transactional traffic, ensuring that any high-privacy scaling solutions on Bitcoin remain firmly under the umbrella of OpenSats-vetted technology

By controlling the dominant funding body (OpenSats), the dominant hardware manufacturer (Coinkite), the dominant auditing force (The Red Team), and the premier insurance provider (AnchorWatch), this single circle can dictate the rules of the entire ecosystem. Any developer who refuses to bend to their standards can be defunded by OpenSats, blacklisted by AnchorWatch, and targeted by Odell’s media platforms.

Beyond the financial ties, critics point to a highly coordinated media apparatus used by Odell and NVK to protect their circle and destroy competitors.Podcast Gatekeeping: Through massive platforms like Rabbit Hole Recap and Bitcoin.Review, Matt Odell dictates what software tools are "safe" and "ethical." Critics argue that projects aligned with the OpenSats/NVK circle receive non-stop free promotion, while rival hardware or software wallets are starved of attention or actively painted as insecure.The Red Team Distraction: When the Coldcard exploit happened, this media engine immediately pivoted. Instead of focusing on NVK's developer choices that led to the vulnerability, Odell's media network praised the Red Team for finding bugs in other people's code, effectively shifting the blame from Coinkite to the broader open-source community.

OpenSats aggressively campaigns for donations from retail Bitcoiners, pitching itself as a 501(c)(3) dedicated to keeping Bitcoin free, open-source, and decentralized.The Grant Dependency: Those funds are then distributed as grants to developers like Calle. Critics argue this turns independent software builders into paid dependents of the OpenSats board, ensuring they will never publicly critique NVK or Odell's operations.Subsidizing Private Enterprise: The public donations fund the massive infrastructure bills for Hamilton’s Red Team. Hamilton's commercial insurance firm, AnchorWatch, requires these exact audits to lower its underwriting risks. In essence, charity donors are paying to bulletproof a private corporation's risk assessment matrix.
