📰 "Bitcoin s Civil War: Is BIP-110 Saving the Network or Burning It Down?" by Rhodes A fistfight is brewing in the digital town square. On one side, you have developers and purists who claim the network is being choked to death by digital garbage—JPEGs, audio files, and memes clogging up the world s most pristine monetary ledger. On the other, you have cypherpunk veterans accusing the clean-up crew of staging a -lynch mob- that could burn the whole house down. At the center of this storm is BIP-110, and depending on who you ask, it is either a necessary emergency brake or a reckless act of sabotage that threatens Bitcoin s credibility as a store of value.

I was not familiar with the background story of Rumble - it was really interesting and make me want to use it. It is also always great to listen to Rick Rubin so absolutely recommend both his podcast and his brilliant book "The Creative Act".

Take 5, still working on the face... slow work in a too little time slot maybe not the best combination. Nevertheless good practice.

So our locked perception of time as continuous might block us from new insights? 🤔

“There will be no "collapse" the way some of these people think of it. It's not going to be like the movie "Dawn of the Dead" or whatever where one day suddenly shit hits the fan and prices skyrocket and everyone begins to riot and the SS comes marching down the street to kill everyone. There will be no "happening." It's far more insidious than that. Read the poem "The Hollow Men" by TS Eliot and you'll understand. You'll just notice that every day simple things will become a little more expensive. Everyone's homes and apartments will start to get smaller. Your work hours will get longer, but your pay will decrease. You'll see family and friends less, and find that in time you care less about them. Every day you'll find yourself lowering your standards for everything: work, food, relationships, etc. Job security will no longer exist as a concept. You'll notice houses and apartments shrinking. People will start hanging on to clothing longer and longer. Less people will get married, even less will have children. People will engross themselves in technological distractions and fantasy while never truly experiencing the real world. Whatever dream people used to have about what their lives were going to be will become for them a distant memory. The only thing left for them will be the reality of their debt and their poverty. And every minute of every day they will be told, "You are stupid, ugly, and weak, but together we are free, prosperous, and safe." That is the collapse. The reduction of the American man into a feudal serf, incapable of feeling love or hate, incapable of seeing the pitiful nature of his situation for what it is or recognizing his own self worth.” This was written online by an anonymous author back in 2013. I have not read it before I listened to a presentation by Jeff Booth on Youtube today were he read from this post for the audience. Actually I have seen this presentation earlier but did not notice it somehow. I guess that confirm that we see and notice what resonate with ourselves i.e. we create the world as we experience it. Today this message really sank in. It is the control system of today. It is so clear now. I choose the new world built on truth. Moving focus step by step on building the new instead of fighting inside the old darkness
