With the momentum of #knots, the #bitcoin network is now decentralized.

So, I asked an AI what God is. It said “spirit.” Then I asked what spirit is. It said something else. I kept going, picking the one word that defined the last one. God → spirit → consciousness → unit… and eventually it stopped at “person.” And I just sat there like… wait. So after all that cosmic unraveling, the final answer is basically us. We’re the gods? Like the whole universe is just pointing back to the guy drinking coffee across from me? And the funny thing is, once it hit “person,” the AI just started looping. Like it was saying, “Yeah, buddy, that’s it. Don’t overthink it. Person equals God, end of story.” It was deep, but also kind of hilarious — because the big mystery of existence basically folded back into… people. Which, honestly, feels exactly like something people would do.

Bitcoin Core 30 “benefits” are clear: • Bigger data payloads on chain • Cleaner support for protocols • Easier for apps to embed proofs, runes, even JPEGs That all sounds innovative, but let’s be real — that’s not why we came to Bitcoin. We’re here for freedom money, not to subsidize a data layer. There is already a safe space for your JPEGs and uncensorable storage experiments. It’s called Ethereum. I can’t stop you from tagging the wall, but we can choose which building we live in. My building is sound money. My vote is my node. #Bitcoin #BTC #FreedomMoney #SoundMoney #RunYourNode #NodeOperator #FullNode #FinancialSovereignty #CensorshipResistance #NoJPEGs #OPRETURN #SatStack #BitcoinCommunity #NotYourKeysNotYourCoins #BitcoinNetwork #nostr

It doesn't matter to me what #bitcoin implementation you run. I still love you and this space. Time to just let the decentralized network I put so much trust in do its thing.

First they said there will be no fork. Now they mock, in event of a fork, their node will still be there for us. These developers sounding so anti-pleb, I don't think these devs are bitcoiners.

I feel like we should have been paying more attention when a bitcoin magazine conference was more about other things than bitcoin. Time to re-watch a lot of documentaries, and read those orange pill books I recommended to people. Because if we keep ignoring we won't remember why I "freedom money" in the first place. I came here to stop money debasement, not jpegs.

Hello #nostr - I'm not here to ask you for zaps. Instead, I'm here to zap you whenever I have extra energy from the fiat mines.

#bitcoin #knots

I ignored the altcoin vibe at Bitcoin conferences. I ignored JPEGs on the blockchain. But I will not ignore Core devs acting like they own Bitcoin. You maintain the code, we run the network. One of you said, “Just run Core and adjust your config.” That is exactly why I run #Bitcoin #Knots. It is Core with the options you removed, giving node operators real choice. And when we do run another implementation, the response is, “Wait, why are you running that?” You cannot have it both ways. Bitcoin Core is not Bitcoin. The network is Bitcoin, and I will run what I want.

I’ve been thinking about buying some #bitcoin mining stocks, or maybe companies that hold bitcoin as treasury. But then I realized it’s much safer to just buy bitcoin directly and self-custody the keys. If there’s ever any nonsense in the future, as long as I hold my keys, my coins will be on the BlackRock chain and the people’s chain. The space has been feeling increasingly like a “shitcoin casino” year after year, so I’m going to keep it simple: run #Knots, tick-tock next block. I even upgraded to unlimited data—because in this next revolution we will let them eat blocks.

At this point #bitcoin core is dead to me. Unless Satoshi himself makes an appearance, #knots has become my default now.

What would it take to make a taco cost $1 again? 🌮 Food prices are climbing everywhere. In Los Angeles, the average taco is now between $2.50 and $3.85. Customers feel it. Business owners feel it. But what if there was a way to bring back the $1 taco — without losing money? The idea: a membership. • Pay once per year. • Unlock tacos at $1 each within a monthly credit. • Extra tacos that month? Just $1.75. • Drinks and sides stay normal, which adds margin for the shop. Why it works: • Shops get stable, upfront revenue from memberships. • Customers get affordable tacos again. • Attach a drink or chips and the math balances out. • It builds loyalty instead of raising prices endlessly. In LA, the numbers suggest memberships could range from about $150/year for a truck to $230/year for a shop. Members see $1 tacos at the window, non-members pay the usual market price. It’s not about building a new business. It’s about helping existing taquerías survive and thrive, while making food more accessible. So I’ll ask again: 👉 What would it take to make a taco cost $1 again?
