Question for the community: What happens if/when there is CSAM embedded in the bitcoin blockchain? Are all nodes technically possessing illegal material at that point? I don’t like the approach from core or knots but is this attack still a legitimate concern?

So are we ETH now?

It is very challenging to know who to listen to about what’s really going on with the Core/Knots War. I keep reminding myself that the ones who survived and thrived before, during, and after the blocksize war were the ones who did nothing.

I’m off twitter completely but seeing some stuff on here around hard forks and soft forks. What’s the status? Is Luke pushing for a fork?

This graphic from @Bitcoin Magazine goes so hard and I’ve never understood why it hasn’t been used more by bitcoiners

Right or wrong I’ve been experiencing more FOMO at these price levels than I’ve felt since ~30k. There are various times in Bitcoin’s history that have been unbelievable buy opportunities looking back. If I had to guess, this last dip to 105k will be looked upon as one of them.

The more you learn about bitcoin, the more you realize it is not and never has been inevitable. You were crazy to go all-in early. There were so many risks. The chance of success was so low. That’s why it’s so hard to hodl. And this continues today with issues like core v30 and some developers calling it the death of Bitcoin. I see now why so many early bitcoiners got worried and distracted and left. But those who did nothing always won. Bitcoin is not inevitable. There is a non-zero chance that Bitcoin still fails. I’ll be hodling.

Can we get a review of the Arby’s steak bites @Paul Saladino MD? I’m wondering how they cook these and in what.

I never get tired of watching Aaron Rodgers play football
