do we need more education around bitcoin forks, consensus, the role of nodes, etc.?
Bitcoin education has gotten so much better but maybe we’re a bit underinvested in education around how the network itself works? very important. we the market determine its future
i’ve collected a bunch of tweets over the last week regarding open source devs killing bitcoin. going to spend this Mailbag Monday episode dispelling what seems to be a lot of misunderstanding.
curious if yall have any thoughts or requests before i record

everythingi needed to know about the network came from the free online bitcoin course from princeton from like 2013. would highly recommend
We always do.
Idk man. I think people are just lazy and don't wanna learn
Yes
More 'boots-on-ground' educators.
YES
Stay positive friend
More developers going through code. Learning the language is much easier when you have real world applications to compare with.
hell yeah we do need more education around all of those subjects period
Lol this has opensats/ODELL/Saylor vibes
Please discuss ocean mining and censoring of whirlpool transactions
This is the reminder I need to work on some courses and some open forums
no
lmfao they arent censoring whirlpool you slowpoke it just doesnt get accepted into proper datacarrier respecting templates, only unfiltered core templates allow them. learn the fucking technicalities
> "proper datacarrier respecting templates"
Seems like if anything, "proper" would be Bitcoin Core's dafault datacarrier size - 80 bytes. Knots is a fork of Bitcoin Core with a non-standard datacareier size of 42 bytes. Ocean is 100% censoring Samourai Wallet, Sapprow Wallet, & Bitcoin Keeper tx0's. And BIP47 PaynNym notification txs.
Also, Whirlpool CJ's don't use an OP_RETURN so "learn the fucking technicalities".
I've long maintained that Bitcoiners are, overall, great educators. Most of the time we have shitty students.
It's on us the teachers to stay resolute, be persistent.
Quaalcom are known for publishing extremely minimal documentation of their chips so that customers are required to partner with their engineers to get any software running on them.
What we need is the ability to buy actual practical things in real life.
Unless I can buy my coffee or burger or smokes with bitcoin, is it really useful beyond an "asset"?
I don't think so.
