Matthew Kratter (@npub1s33s...252p) will talk shit about Bitcoin Core devs and other bitcoiners from behind his monitor reading out pre-written scripts all day long, but he does not even have the balls to come on a podcast and defend his position.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Do you think bitcoin should be used for monetary transactions?
Use bitcoin for monetary transactions, then.
FWIW I agree you don’t have to be an anarchist to use Bitcoin.
…But Bitcoin *is* an anarchist form of money.
If you don’t like that, use fiat.

Yo @npub1s33s...252p let’s do this.


Meanwhile, @Dathon Ohm says he is committed to finding consensus for his proposal within the technical community.


In case anyone is wondering, for BIP444 @Luke Dashjr @Luke Dashjr is willing to throw BIP8 soft fork activation overboard in favour of a flag day activation with no miner signaling.


Of course, @Luke Dashjr @Luke Dashjr is worried about fork futures because he knows that will effectively reveal the lack of support for his fork, just like it did for Segwit2X back in 2017.


So @Luke Dashjr @Luke Dashjr wants to roll back the chain and activate a soft fork if CSAM is included in an OP_RETURN.
However he does not want to tell anyone how we’d even know it if that were to be the case…


Or if you prefer the drama there's this!
