The main asset Urbit always had is reinventing everything from scratch and renaming everything and never using any term of the trade. So when they make extraordinary claims about a subject you don't ask them for an extraordinary explanation of how did they avoid the limits everyone else has been struggling with. Instead you suspend your disbelief because everything sounds like Narnia, so you just assume that the laws of complexity doesn't apply anymore.

Unfollowing anyone who celebrates that CIA asset cunt that lives in the west and lobby for bombs falling on the school children of her own people. Nothing in the world more disgusting than a scum hoping for the destruction of his own people. Death to zionists and their goyslaves everywhere.

People talk about socialism as if it is a sin, but anything that becomes abundant must be a human right, because markets can't distribute abundance and artificial scarcity is flat out evil. You my friend are useless to the farmers with your "content creation" or LGTM comments on PRs... The reason you eat like a king, is because food is abundant and we socialized it pretty much, the fact you still have to make money and spend that money in a market, is performative, as long as your society can produce food at scale, they will find a way to give you some. The purpose is to make everything so abundant that it is a human right, so some of us can dedicate their time to make more things abundant, not to worship markets and reinvent sin and virtue in the most empty and lonely and unnatural way imaginable.

Gold doesn't derive its scarcity from its usage (although it is used as means of exchange and better; it helps central banks hedge against different types of emergencies). Bitcoin is only secure as long as it is the network that pays miners the most fees, if Ethereum Classic started paying miners more, it will become more secure than Bitcoin, and all the talk about running full nodes will prove so marginal and so easy to deal with, for example with objective checkpoints and ephemeral Blobs. Again, whoever pays PoW miners the most wins. View quoted note →

Status in Bitcoin development discourse should be entirely dependent on your contribution to making Bitcoin used as money and pay fees to miners while doing so. If you are useless to that end, I don't want to hear your input about soft forks or whatever, just shut up. Conversely, if you are driving Bitcoin adoption as money, even if just custodially for now, please be more active in discussions about how to upgrade bitcoin to make your life easier serving your actual commerce customers, don't assume you shouldn't have a voice because you haven't contributed to Bitcoin Core or whatever. You are the proxy of the people that actually make Bitcoin Core relevant at all, speak up for them. View quoted note →

Any Bitcoin hodlers who isn't spending any of his wealth and time pushing to eat the entire crypto market into Bitcoin sidechains, and make every transaction a Bitcoin transaction, is sleep walking into losing his net worth or at least its upside. Creating and promoting Bitcoin sidechains should be a profitable endeavour for developers and users. I am afraid a trustless bridge isn't the only thing needed for that though, but it is necessary.

Primal is trash at the moment.

People who say "Bitcoin is not private" are annoying as fuck because if it wasn't private it wouldn't have been censorship resistant. But ok whatever, let's keep pretending it is regulation friendly if that helps.

Great Script Restoration (which I was told the correct way to upgrade Script) now has two BIPs, but no one is discussing neither in any forum I am aware of.

I want someone to create a stablecoin on Rootstock that is backed by RBTC but not priced in USD, instead priced in Bitcoin difficulty at a moment in time say 1/1/2026. Every time the difficulty increases (Rootstock contracts can read Bitcoin difficulty natively) your BTC collateral should be allowed to mint new stablecoins, if the difficulty drops, you might get liquidated. Reasoning here is that difficulty is a very good proxy for a moving average of the demand of BTC, regardless what Fiat is used for that demand. This seems like a long term hedge against volatility, that doesn't hardcode demand for USD, instead it creates demand for the aggregate basket of currencies that are most used in the global market, regardless what the composition of that basket is.

One of the reasons key rotation is actually nice, you can just say that key was leaked and retain your identity. People clearly like the option of not being held accountable for every thing they wrote even in private just because it was signed. View quoted note →

Folks people are starting to use Tether instead of even WBTC as a middle currency between swaps... The USD is fighting back and kicking ass.
