Bitcoin is hard to change Signing off 5-10 year coma Will wake up in Valhalla

A contentious soft fork can become "User-Activated" (UASF). *Economic nodes* (exchanges, wallets, payment processors) would need to build rough consensus and PRE-COMMIT to enforcing the new rules by a specific date, regardless of miner signaling If successful contentious softfork avoided

Wen polymarket for a softfork chain split?

Polymarket could play a large role in a contentious soft fork. It creates a market without having to list both coins at the exchanges.

Humans are way under appreciating the power of bearer assets. Hold it physically. Own it absolutely. Take responsibility.

Up almost 2 ounces for the week. Need to recapture 32 oz, then the ATH of 40 oz:

The relationship between bitcoin versus regulators / law-enforcement, is far more nuanced than saying: "If somebody does something illegal on Bitcoin, then unbounded criminal liability attaches to everyone who's running a node or mining bitcoin."

And just like that new inflation target is 3%. Feels *normal*, even low. Get ready for them to normalize 4%, then 5% then double digit..... Buy Bitcoin

Maple AI: Prompt: "Does the concept of economic nodes matter in a contentious, soft fork?" Conclusion/Summary: "While technical nodes enforce the *consensus rules* locally, and miners build the chain, **economic nodes determine which set of rules and which chain has economic relevance and value.** In a contentious soft fork, where miner signaling may be insufficient or divided, the coordinated stance of major economic players becomes the critical factor. They can force miner compliance through UASF threats or determine the surviving chain in the event of a split. Their actions ultimately reflect and shape the broader economic consensus within the Bitcoin ecosystem."
