Ba’al commanding Thiel to choose Vance, friend of the show

You were so cavalier about the risks of both not fixing the taproot exploits and blowing open the opreturn, but NOW you’re so concerned about the risks of doing Core’s job for them? GFY

@Matthew Kratter In your Bitcoin Matrix pod with Cedric, several times you said that ~500 out of 100k nodes signaled for BIP148. I thought that sounded off, so after looking into it, it’s more like 500-1000 nodes out of 5,000-7,000 total nodes. Which makes more sense because there are barely 100,000 nodes today, 9 years later. It’s important because 0.5% of nodes is definitely not enough for a UASF to work. Based on those numbers, the % of BIP148 nodes ranged from 7%-20%.

Congratulations, you found the game theoretically optimal influencer position to protect yourself: be against spam and for Bitcoin as money, like BIP110’s ethos and most of what it does, but still not support it. BIP110 wins: it’ll look like you supported it BIP110 loses or causes problems: it’ll look like you didn’t support it If not now, when? If not us, who? View quoted note →

“I don’t believe it is likely that the One Ring could be taken to Mordor and cast into Mount Doom, which is why I don’t support the plan at this point.”

Bottom isn’t in until my demented relative tells me that the CEO of Bitcoin (Saylor) is going bankrupt, like she did in 2022. Steady lads 🫡

You’re fed up with the discourse from both sides because action is long overdue. You shilled taproot, then core did nothing to fix the exploits, even shot down proposed solutions, either out of apathy or perverse incentives. You’ve been gaslighting everyone for years to keep the peace with your influencer and dev peers as everyone has to deal with a spam attack. Then you want to try to be “above it all” and scramble for the middle ground so you get to stay in the influencer club for connections? Fuck you. Get culled. Should’ve stacked harder. Go to LinkedIn where you belong and find a new industry, you fake fucks.

It’s an older meme sir, but it checks out.
