Worse that nostr, lol. Must be the antisemitism and flat earthing.
This was peak bitcoin twitter
Meh. I have never used X. I left Twitter 3 years ago.
Haha saw that too
I came to bitcoin through bitcoin X. Those were some good old days.
Now it’s just pumping shitcoin treasury companies and saylor simping.
Feds just infiltrated bitcoin X.
Bitcoin twitter died long ago. It's why I put up with nostr for so long.
I deleted my twitter account once I knew nostr wasn't going away.
I 'member #marchofftwitter
Haven't been back since.
But we have that on nostr too! Lol
Increasingly X is just propagandists barking at each other with a few ignorant midwits in between thinking they’re witnessing a riveting conversation between people with a lot of conviction about their subjects of focus
Haha. That's what I meant! All the good stuff is here.
<sarcasm>
Dropping into X is weird. The algorithm is trying as hard as it can to male me mad about something called "The Cat". I wonder if they realize nobody gives a fuck.
Bitcoin will be wherever Bitcoiners decide to be!
This is SUPER Bullish!!
😂 Wow, that was fast! Guess Bitcoin X didn’t stand a chance, on to the next adventure!
it was the best of times. it showed people that they could leave their addiction behind.
FUCK TWITTER
Not gonna lie, it does suck and I miss it.
What is bitcoin x?
How many times has Bitcoin Twitter been pronounced dead?
View quoted note →
I tried Twitter once.
Once.
GOOD RIDDANCE
Twitter feels like LinkedIn at this point
X is retarded.
Bitcoin twitter community.
Victory is sweet.
Real Twitter has never been tried!
I don’t see the problem.
LOL. About stinkin' time!
That's not a flex, just means that genuine Bitcoin community is isolated from the rest of the world on a platform only they use, leaving the Bitcoin narrative to spooks and grifters.
You can’t fix the system from inside the system ~ @Jeff Booth
The slop killed Twitter, impossible to use now. It's tiktok 2.0
Are you a bitcoin spammer?
this
There are other platforms. I discovered Bitcoin and have never had a twitter acount
"Nostr is dead" -> "I can't handle not having an algorithm to find content"
Shit I used the web for a year before knowing what a search engine was. Fucking pansies.
No, however I think "liking The Cat" on X isn't going to get you guys very far. Spam is barely an argument anywhere else, and I think that's because it's not going to become a community concern until an existential risk can be objectively pointed out and seriously discussed. Right now it's just Matthew Krater doing his best to immolate his reputation.
If you don’t recognise spam as existential problem as it is, it’s no surprise you’re taking that stance.
To believe that it does requires one to believe that every technogist qualified to understand the problem and do anything about it is compromised and willfully withholding their input, except for one guy (and his nyms) who is practically addicted to heterodoxy to the point he doesn't even like the decimal numbering system.
Accurate
No lies detected.
I was always angry on X. I'm not suprised.
What you basically claim is that apart from Luke Dashjr everyone in the anti spam side is not technically qualified to see the spam as existential threat. Which is ridiculous considering some of the people on the opposing side are Jimmy Song and Nick Szabo. Not to mention a bunch of very competent other devs with smaller followings like Parman and SuperTestnet. The devs you outsource your adversarial thinking to are all likely compromised. Adam Back and Shitnobi are just on the top of my mind. I can name many more.
nick-szabo has never contributed changes to bitcoin core. Neither have armantheparman nor supertestnet. jimmysong has never contributed production code to bitcoin core; only test coverage.
All the people you have mentioned, besides Luke (even Shinobi and Adam Back) are ancillary thinkers, commentors or coders who have no proven pedigree for maintaining Bitcoin.
And here's the thing -- I LIKE ALL THOSE PEOPLE. I like them for what they have to say and also for what they have done with their projects that support and enhance people's usage of Bitcoin. I agree with them that spam is degenerate usage of Bitcoin and it would be PREFERABLE that it didn't exist. But that's very different than an existential crisis.
An existential crisis warranting FREEZING VALID UTXO's.
THATS BONKERS. It's a discussion so unserious it could only be entertained on Twitter.
You are a shitcoiner my dude and you don’t even know it. “people’s usage of Bitcoin” sounds like something out of the mouth of a true Marxist. You say spam is degenerate and preferably it wouldn’t exist, but that degenerate spam exists precisely because the people that you *like* and *trust* did enable it for over two years until this degeneracy is now 40% of the entire size of the UTXO set and it’s a real hurdle for node runners, especially future ones.
Well I'm honored to have finally met a true scottsman
That’s one of the lamest cope posts I’ve read on Nostr for a while. Maybe it’s the norm on X, I wouldn’t know. Either way it’s pathetic.
I hope they really freeze these “valid UTXOs” that normally you wouldn’t be able to spend even if you wanted, cuz they’re dust. I really hope they get this proposal over the line as a viable fork I could run. It’ll put a smile on my face even if it achieves nothing.
Well unlike true scottsmen, performative nihilists are abundant, it seems.
It’s interesting. In some ways leaving Bitcoin Twitter doesn’t make all that much sense, which is often the way with intuitive decisions, but it “feels” good
I think many recognise this
And you can see the ethical lines that Bitcoiners, emboldened by the adoption of sound money, now draw
Hard no
Protocol > platform
Free speech > reach
Property rights > UX
Time will tell if this recipe can match, or outgrow the value of X today
Worse than nostr?!? 🤔
LFG!!
Nah. Twitter is a dirty shithole and is a net negative and has been for some time.
Meh. Twitter had its day in the sun. 👋🏻
