If you think it’s “you can’t stop *any* spam”, then we can pack up and go home, the project is doomed. If you disagree with “any”, then you must think you can stop “some” spam. So then how do you go about stopping “some” spam? View quoted note →

Here we see a corrupted, knavish wretch contort himself into derangement in order to maintain his affiliation and status within the Core party. View quoted note →

This is an attack by the financial industrial complex. View quoted note →

Best pod I’ve seen in a while. Luke is still reasonable, but also much more detailed in this one vs with Daniel.

How ironic that the change to Bitcoin with the most support, Taproot, also created the biggest attack.

Is it “you can’t stop *all* spam”? Everyone agrees with that. Or is it “you can’t stop *any* spam”? View quoted note →

We can start to reintegrate if you first admit that Taproot was a massive disaster and you apologize for your role in supporting it. But if you refuse to do those two things and instead, continue to double down by continuing to support the same people and companies (ex. fucking Brink) that created this mess, I’m not going to believe a word out of your mouth. I’d actually be even more partial to your technical points if you did that, but most of you influencers won’t do it to just to save face and maintain your political connections.

GM rules are not censorship. Your postmodernism has no place in Bitcoin. Keep it in your LGBTQAI+ coffee shops in San Francisco where it belongs. View quoted note →

He won’t name the names of the 6 corrupt people to Knut. They just-so-happened to be on some slides that got “deleted” before his speech at Prague. Oh, and those slides are now available on his Patreon. Bro 😑 https://fountain.fm/episode/hPt7l4dalqRqTXI0P42m

Ohhhh Canadaaa

GN bad actors. Think on your sins.

Oof, caring is so cringe bro. Blasé all day. View quoted note →

Earnestness, effort, and passion are low status. Blasé confidence is high status. Your social status heuristics have a glaring failure mode. It’s high status to be chill and bank on Bitcoin’s automaticity instead of human action to resolve any potential problems. The irony is that the problem, Taproot, was the result of human action.

“You can’t stop spam” is so manipulatively dishonest and vague that if you use it sincerely OR insincerely, just castrate yourself. You know damn well (and you know that we know that you know damn well) that you ought to include the word “all”…but you choose not to because if you did, then everyone is in 100% agreement with that statement. But yet again, I’m so grateful for people who use it, like Stephan Livera, because it reveals that they are bad actors.

Unbelievable that agree with Mr Hodl here, while Matt and Marty love this new, coincidentally timed, attack from Strategy. Wild times. View quoted note →

Taproot was the malicious soft fork attack. Now, there are three groups who want to gaslight you into thinking that it wasn’t. The financial industrial complex: those who funded the attack who want to either capture or kill Bitcoin. Developers: who made and pushed for the attack, who either won’t admit it was an attack because they want to maintain their power, funding, and status, or they were in on the maliciousness themselves. Influencers: who won’t admit it was an attack to save face and not look weak (despite their unwitting support for the attack) to maintain their access to devs, events, funding, and clout.
