Ecash makes Bitcoin payments private and instant. Mints act like banks, but they can't see who paid whom. The catch: the mint holds your bitcoin, so you're trusting it. Spreading your sats across independent mints is the right path, so no single one can sink you. That's why apps like bit-notes.com are useful. #cashu #bitcoin

Money isn't paper or numbers on a screen. It's whatever lets you carry your work across time and place without losing it. The better it holds value, the more people can plan beyond next week. #bitcoin

Every year my phone does more and costs less. That's what progress looks like. Prices should keep falling, and the only reason they don't is we keep printing money to fight it. Bitcoin lets you actually feel it. #bitcoin

A BitNotes note is cash you can hand to someone. Public QR verifies offline, private QR sits under a scratch seal. Peel it, sweep it, done. Free and open source: bit-notes.com #cashu

Lyn Alden's point in Broken Money: once the telegraph let payments move faster than gold could, money moved into bank ledgers and got easy to debase. Bitcoin is the first hard money that moves at the speed of information. #bitcoin

There's something about BIP110 that I think a lot of people overlook. I remember when Core 30 hadn't been merged yet. Many of us went to the PR and overwhelmingly signaled no by downvoting it. It was obvious there was significant opposition. Then came the public debates between both sides. Those debates clearly showed that this wasn't some fringe disagreement,it was a real concern within the Bitcoin community. Any reasonable person would have said, "Let's pause, talk this through, and find some common ground." After all, we're all on the same team: Bitcoin. But that didn't happen. Core chose to merge the change anyway. So when people now say filters don't matter or that they're harmless, my question is: if they weren't that important, why the rush? Why not take the time to understand why so many people were upset? Why not educate those who disagreed if the technical case was truly that strong? Instead, the message many people received was: "We've decided this is the right thing to do, and if you're not technical enough, your opinion doesn't matter." That mindset goes against the values Bitcoin was built on. Satoshi didn't challenge centralized authority just for developers to become a new authority that decides what should and shouldn't happen. That's why many people said no to what they saw as Core's increasingly centralized decision-making, and why BIP110 became more than just a technical proposal. It became a stand against that direction. @Luke Dashjr @Bitcoin Mechanic @calle
