when the dust settles, i will view everyone that is still saying "don't roll the dice!" with extreme suspicion.

to be sovereign like the king of kings, all you had to do, is roll a dice a few dozen times... but you refused.

i wrote this on dec 21, 2024: "it's a massive strawman to insinuate we are saying "without covenants it's all lost". no that's actually complete horsesshit. without changing anything tho, it is going be be a custodial clusterfuck. there are many paths forward. covenants are probably the least controversial rn. if you think giving up on improving and scaling bitcoin and cucking out to some neo-banking abomination is a viable option, i got nothing to tell you except that you are an idiot. the thing about covenants is, they are common ground between different camps that are still aligned on bitcoin. those that think we should increase capacity and those that think that's premature both grudgingly agree that covenants provide them with better tools for their apps." sadly i think we are out of time. thanks to all the "what's the rush!?" idiots, that wasted 7 fucking years we flew under the radar and could have used to build ramparts of freedom tech, against the tide of regulation and paper bitcoin that is coming now. life goes on, the dream will live on, even after bitcoin. but i don't think i will ever be able to forgive you assholes.
