Everyone should watch this. This guy just said he thinks we should be able to build an UNDO BUTTON ON BITCOIN TXS. Did I hear that right??? min 3:23
Shitcoin Magazine propagandists are out in full force. I could not believe my ears. The attitude towards bitcoin displayed in this video is exactly what makes monetary maximalists want to ossify. This was at a conference that took place a few weeks ago.
He asks if can bitcoin succeed without another fork. These guys are going around Asia, where a ton of the mining happens, saying we need to fork bitcoin and we need to do it now before it's too late and bitcoin ossifies. I'm paraphrasing but that is not much of an exaggeration. These are all the same people that support core v30 and are pretending that Luke is the one who wants to fork.
Remember all those times when
@Luke Dashjr was right, when everyone said he was wrong, and he saved bitcoin. This battle over op return could be another one of those times.
This guy spent 15 minutes essentially advocating for accommodating layer two capabilities on bitcoin by way of a soft fork. They want to add things like CTV and OP_CAT, OP_THIS and OP_THAT all for the sake of 'building better layer two applications'. He even makes wildly unfounded claims that users will move away from custodial solutions and centralized exchanges in favor of the L2 apps they want to build. That all sounds fine and dandy until you realize that he refused to even mention the lightning network more than a single time and only to say about it that 'we haven't seen acceleration in that regard'.
Why is it that all the people that want to change bitcoin so badly refuse to talk about, or work on, the lightning network. Has lightning failed? Should we just get rid of segwit and taproot since they were such flops? Or will there never be an end to the changes you want to make to bitcoin until the code becomes so convoluted and complex that we just become ethereum 2.0?
What you guys don't seem to understand is that not long ago we did fork just to make lightning possible which makes bitcoin incredibly easy to use. Just use that.
Your fancy L2 is not going to magically increase adoption. It''s going to be changes to the law and tax code that will bring mass adoption. Have you ever tried to buy something in your local community from someone who has never even heard of bitcoin? It's not easy.
I think Luke,
@Bitcoin Mechanic , and bitcoin knots is absolutely on the right side of history here because they are the ones advocating that WE SHOULD NOT CHANGE BITCOIN with so little agreement in the community. That is the ultimate irony of this war, the ones that cant wait to be done talking about op return so that they can move on to the next fork as soon as possible are also the ones that have been telling knots users to fork off the whole time and now are writing hit pieces attacking Luke trying to say he wants to fork bitcoin. You can't make this up.
I know this is a very convoluted and messy battle but your default behaviour when you are not sure what is going on should be to just sit on your hands. DON'T DO ANYTHING. Whatever you do, DON'T UPDATE TO CORE V30. If you want send the message that bitcoinres think its bad to have spam on a monetary network and something should be done about it instead of making it easier to do then run knots.
I don't know what more to say. How can you possibly trust core anymore.
Core has been deprecated just like they did to op_return. It is a centralized privately funded organization that has proven to be untrustworthy. Bitcoiners should abandon them immediately or at a bare minimum just don't upgrade.
Please show me where I'm wrong. I would love to know.
