Posting this thread from @Adam Back here on Nostr for everyone's reference and my analysis of it:

X (formerly Twitter)

Adam Back (@adam3us) on X

Bitcoin is owned by humanity, the protocol developers are stewards, and need consensus from users to change it materially. bitcoin is about money, ...

My take: **ADAM BACK DID NOT MENTION KNOTS** People who called Adam “pro spam” (and worse) for weeks are now celebrating that “Adam is back.” NEWSFLASH: he never left. Obviously Adam freaking Back is not “pro spam” and never was. He simply did not agree with the efficacy of the proposed "solution" (Knots node implementation) from a technical perspective (and still does not agree that node filtering of spam is a viable solution, based on my reading of his thread). Instead, Adam is trying to lay out the *economic* case for how to deal with incentives to filter spam at the *miner/pool* level, while clearly stating “bitcoin is about money, spam has no place in the timechain. what defaults the bitcoin core project puts in the reference client matter in this." Again, clearly Adam is not "pro spam." A key line that jumped out to me was “to prevail, we have to make economic sense (or we work against our own objectives)”. Adam focuses on *miners/pools*—and their economic incentives, or lack thereof—not on node implementations. If you’ve spent the past weeks bashing Adam because you think he is a “spam apologist,” now is a good time to check your assumptions and consider that Adam wants what is best for bitcoin... as do you... as do I. We ALL want what’s best for Bitcoin to make sure it succeeds as unfuckable sound money and a censorship-resistant medium of exchange. No serious person is like "OOOH YEAH I LOVE SPAM! MORE JPEGS ON THE TIMECHAIN, PLEASE!" It is possible to disagree with the efficacy of a proposed solution *without* being a "spam apologist." Just because someone has a different opinion than you do about a solution does not mean that person is your enemy or has been "compromised." This should be obvious but apparently it needs to be said... @Adam Back -- I hope I have not misrepresented anything you said -- just trying to help parse your thread for my fellow plebs. Thanks for all you do.

@Julian Figueroa is doing awesome work that reaches *outside* the Bitcoin echo chamber. I highly recommend you follow him. View quoted note →

Kind reminder: this is and always was a shitcoin. It may turn out to be the biggest shitcoin grift of all time. I know some of you are Trump stans, but if you can’t be honest with yourself that he’s a shitcoiner then idk man you might just be legitimately retarded. It is possible to praise a politician when they do something good and call them out when they do something bad. If you do not do this, you are an NPC.

You can just vlog things. View quoted note →
