this knots vs core war is making my head spin been running knots since I first got a node bc i want to get a bitaxe and mine to ocean and am now questioning everything… im skeptical about everything @Luke Dashjr has actual beef with core devs for some stolen btc and other stuff? @Jameson Lopp who i thought was so cool for the seed plate review website is apparently not so cool and has conflicts of interest? @Shinobi who i thought was cool just decides to yap about anything he believes in and call everyone a piece of shit, and pretends we dont all know bitcoin is a database @Wicked trolling “knotzis” which is clever and funny and also annoying and some of the most reputable names in the space have various opinions and takes on this matter (like @_Checkɱate 🔑⚡🌋☢️🛢️ @Matthew Kratter @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 @ODELL ) do we have like a press release or something to share status updates like: “although the community is not in full agreement, we are merging this PR in the next release… feel free to run older versions of the software, your node your choice” this seems to be a bigger challenge than just hodling thru bear markets

Once you understand fiat money’s impact you see it everywhere. It’s incredible. I know I’m not the only one, even though it feels like it in public places…

Somebody mentioned to my wife having a decent chunk of their savings into bitcoin. She asked what his cold storage device of choice was. Response: “I just use Coinbase” Education around self custody is still lagging behind. We can change this.

I recently learned that even the most logical arguments can (and often do) fail to change someone’s mind. I have officially retired from the sport of convincing others. I had a solid run. Time to mind my own business!

First time below $1,000 sats/$ in a while! #bitcoin

Bitcoin is moving from a commodity that a small group of people value, to a globally adopted store of value, to a globally accepted medium of exchange and a globally used unit of account. It has to go through these phases in that order. That’s how money worked historically.

Does anyone in this space know where or why or even if Andreas Antonopoulos disappeared? Please fill me in if I’m missing something

Sat down with a financial advisor today as I’m trying to pivot from my current career path. Respectable, honest man trying to do good for his clients. He and his team manage ~$900 million. Mentioned Bonds & treasuries a dozen times NVDA, Google and S&P ~5 times each Forex/currency market twice Not once did he bring up gold or bitcoin, or even crypto for that matter. When I asked about his outlook on the next 12-24 months and what he sees as the biggest challenges: he answered “making sure I’m there when people ring up the phone to ask why the markets are down”… We are still early. Very early

Stack sats & heavy squats
