Its interesting that the folks crying about bitcoiners being captured by influencors are themselves following influencors onto a chain split Whatever results anyone achieves - they only have themself to blame.

The genesis block literally has an image of a newspaper in it

When I read the BIP, I thought - theres some logic to this I could get behind. But seeing folks be constantly insulted and treated like shit for asking questions immediately made me think fuck these people And looking at the irrational thoughts from supporters after an immediate chain split validates my decision that these folks are not critical thinkers and do not have a good product

The lesson is - if you have to mandate it, its not a good idea

The folks who never trusted and didnt do anything are just fine thru all this. Things are only fucked for the lazy and the greedy Dont be so quick to sell your chain split holdings

Either youve already generated week seeds, or you haven't. Dont update your firmware

CC hack victims (US citizens) can deduct on their tax returns $3k/yr of the capital loss every year until total loss is declared, without having to itemize deductions. A small comfort

One of the ironies is alot of folks left ledger for coldcard lol

TIL alot of bitcoiners are really just insecure panicans who can be immediately convinced everything is fucked

Sure seems like a few leaked/stolen seeds are being overhyped to push bitcoiners to kyc themselves

There's a decent chance Michael Saylor will be assassinated

I could make more convincing BIP110 arguments than these jackasses by simply: 1. Not acting like an asshole 2. Not calling people pedophiles for questioning 3. Actually explaining how it technically works and what the risks are 4. How people benefit from it being adopted If its such a good idea, it shouldnt be hard to sell it.

I dont understand how mandatory signaling works. If BIP110 can force new rules (albeit temporarily) via mandatory signaling, whats to stop another actor from later doing the same thing?
