I have an important question for the Bitcoin community : how many developers actively contribute to Bitcoin Core, and how many developers work on and contribute to Bitcoin Knots?

If your favorite Bitcoin influencer isn’t urging you to hold your own keys, back up your seed, use a passphrase, and run a full node but instead pushes nonsense like BIP-177 or renaming sats to bits - then he’s not your friend. He’s the enemy of Bitcoin.

"You'll own no seeds. And you'll be happy." They can not be serious about this..."we hold one of your keys, track all your transactions, and occasionally snitch you out to the cops...buy our hardware wallet. Wtf @jack ? Now we going to convince normies that it is ok to not hold their keys because you'll hold them?

Gm NOSTR Bitcoin is NOT Dollar. Fuck BITS Fuck BIP177 Fuck seedless wallets. Fuck corpo bitcoin takeover. Be the REVOLUTION.

I can hear Trump asking Dorsey - “What the hell are sats?” “No problem, sir. We call them bits now.” “Oh. Bits. I get that.”

BITS = SATOSHIS Bits. That’s the new name for sats - rolled out quietly, but intentionally, during the largest Bitcoin conference of the year in Las Vegas. With corporations circling and political figures like Trump stepping onstage, we’re now seeing the slow rebranding of Bitcoin’s most fundamental unit. No real community discussion. No transparent rationale. Just a switch - from “sats” (Satoshis) to “bits.” As someone who studies this space daily and speaks from the perspective of an artist - I see this as more than a cosmetic tweak. This is a symbolic shift. A move away from Bitcoin’s roots. A subtle erasure of Satoshi Nakamoto from the language we use every day. Sats were never just a unit of measure. They were a tribute. A memetic anchor tying Bitcoin to its origin and ethos. You don’t rename that lightly. You don’t discard it in the name of “clarity” or “adoption” without telling the community why. “Bits” might sound cleaner. It might fit better on an app screen. But it comes at a cost: cultural continuity. Historical weight. Identity. This is happening at a moment when Bitcoin is under more pressure than ever to conform - to be repackaged for mass markets, for regulators, for billionaires. And now even its smallest piece is being reshaped. This isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about respect. For the people who carried Bitcoin through the early years. For the vision behind it. For the name that still matters. And most of all - for the ethos of Bitcoin. Sats are named after the inventor who disappeared so the network could live freely. That absence is the foundation of Bitcoin’s independence. It’s what makes it different. Their systems have money, but no mystery. Power, but no principle. Control, but no character. Bitcoin has a legend. And no matter how many interfaces get rewritten, or tickers rebranded, Satoshi Nakamoto should be honored forever - through the name of the smallest unit that makes this entire movement possible. We should be asking: Why now? Why this? And who benefits from rewriting the words we built this protocol around? Because if sats can be rebranded overnight… what’s next?

NOSTR loves sats. I was convinced @jack Dorsey was one of its biggest supporters - and yet here we are, watching the start of a “rebrand Bitcoin” campaign. First it was BIP-177. Then “bits” instead of sats. Then seedless wallets. Now Square terminals showing bitcoin payments in bits - with fiat as the default reference point. Yes - many wallets show fiat. That’s not new. But stack all these moves together, and you start to see a pattern. It’s not just UX - it’s narrative soft-forking. Bitcoin is being reshaped for easier fiat onboarding, not deeper user sovereignty. And I thought NOSTR and Bitcoin were building the future - Not adapting to the past. Dorsey and Carvalho are moving in lockstep - and I call bullshit. Both claim the current state of Bitcoin is “confusing” without offering a shred of proof. No surveys. No community polls. Nothing. Just vibes, authority - and an organized attempt to fracture an already fragile Bitcoin community. And they’re doing it at the most critical moment. As Bitcoin crosses 100k. As states begin adopting it. As businesses start plugging in. This is when we need unity - around the ethos, not the branding. Because if we don’t hold the line now, the cypherpunk dream will be co-opted by the same corporate forces Bitcoin was meant to replace. Jack plays the empire. Carvalho plays the mouthpiece. And we’re watching them rewrite the narrative in real time.

"There comes a point in the history of a society when it becomes so pathologically soft, so tender, that it begins - quite seriously and with full sincerity - to side even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly." —Friedrich Nietzsche

Gaza has been turned into a concentration camp - no, a death camp - in full view of the world. A place where Palestinians are not simply imprisoned, but slowly starved, bombed, and broken. This is not a war. You do not fight wars with F-16s against families with spoons and empty stomachs. This is one of the most asymmetric acts of violence in modern history - a state armed with nuclear weapons unleashed against a besieged, starving civilian population. The Palestinian people have been completely dehumanized. Their lives reduced to numbers. Their deaths normalized. This image shows the new aid distribution system: metal cages crammed with civilians - men, women, and children - herded like cattle. This is not relief. This is ritualized degradation. This is cruelty with logistics. Every tenet of international law has been desecrated. Every principle of human dignity has been violated. This is not war. This is extermination. And silence is complicity.

Every deep thinker is more afraid of being understood than of being misunderstood. Nietzsche.

GENOCIDE IS NOT A WAR.

Always grounding, always quieting to the signal - re-reading Rothbard’s Anatomy of the State feels like syncing with a pure node after too much noise. His words strip away the theater, revealing the raw architecture of coercion beneath the illusion of consent. It doesn’t shout - it verifies. A manual for those who choose to run their own logic stack, outside the collective hallucination. Rothbard doesn’t offer comfort. He offers clarity. And in that clarity, there’s calm.
