No air quotes needed. Bitcoin is decentralized.
Thank you sir 🍦
Fair points,
-take personal responsibility
-don't be a dick
-talk it out and listen to your detractors
-if you want a change then get out there and talk about it
Rock on dude
Let them have all the closed door meetings and forks they want.
My node runs exactly the software I install on it.
💯
i know i just hate the word. been hijacked and doesn’t mean anything anymore
FWIW, I don't think Bitcoin actually requires any funding to operate. Satoshi built it without any sponsorship. Most core devs are and will always be maximalists devoted to the longevity of Bitcoin.
Corporate sponsorship could create corporate expectations...
Not saying it'll turn out that way in practice, as their expectations will likely get frustrated by the decentralised nature of node operators refusing to validate bad ideas.
distributed is a better word, imo.
👆well said.
SUPPORT BITCOIN OPEN SOURCE DEVELOPERS 🧡
Also if you still need people to test strike europe I would love to be a part of it. (I shot you a dm 😉)
Bring strike to Canada! 🙏🏻🇨🇦
sounds better than it works.
you should talk to those that built all of the software we store our monetary life in today. they feel very differently and have every since the project became more than an idea.
there is no more serious engineering work than maintaining and building bitcoin. wasn’t the case when it didn’t have a spot price
Solid take. Hard to disagree with anything you said.
Thanks Jack
Oh yes, Bitcoin is very serious indeed. And will only get more serious over time. Attracting all kinds of corporate interest, trying to influence developers so they can gain control over the network for their own profit.
And they'll fail like all the other corporates who've created shitcoin forks if they try to force their interests.
Not saying funding is wrong, it's the intention behind the funding that makes or breaks the relationship.
are the yacht sailors getting too big for their britches
Almost as if politics matter. Who could have known
Brilliant
i think this idea is overblown. people have been building malicious bitcoin changes since it was launched. whether it’s blackrock or roger ver, it only matters if we all run the software. the idea that we need to gate keep who provide no strings attached funding to developers i don’t totally understand
blackrock can give developers 1 trillion dollars to change bitcoins supply from 21m. if we don’t update our nodes to that code it doesn’t matter. the real defense is all of us, not who funds devs
👍 awesome!
💯
No, it's a great word. We just need to point out the lies.
"us" is an imaginary ideal that you are creating, in reality most individuals are easily bribed and would happily trade their current node software for a bunch of fiat currency given a company like blackrock would direct them to do it. all it takes is them coopting the society which CLEARLY is already well under way. why would you be so ignorant about the social black-rock-washing of bitcoin unless you want it to happen faster?
My node runs with same software and agrees with Jack's node. 🫂🫂
Thank you for articulating what I'm feeling. Our nodes are in agreement. 🫂
I’m in agreement with Jack “The Baller” Maller but curious why would certain bitcoiners be against supporting devs? Appreciate the thoughts in advance.
Very well said!
If you want to help grow #bitcoin but can't code, you can put a bitcoin sticker in public.
Each sticker has a QR code that links to an educational website. 858 people scanned the stickers in public last month!

Put a bitcoin sticker in public to orange pill those around you.
so clear!!! thanks you jack🧡
Thank CEO
what?
“us” is the network of peers. if the network of peers can be bribed to ensure bitcoin fails then bitcoin was doomed from the start
part of bitcoins security design is to assume the majority of the network are honest nodes and bitcoin uses the longest chain of work. it’s in the whitepaper
if all of us can be bribed with cheap deals humanity doesn’t value hard money enough to protect it.
now if some of us try, it will fail, which is what happened to bitcoin cash and countless others
my two sats: sell merch, paid features, books or guides, paid 1-1 consultancy. don't make a donations button. donations are not a sustainable business model. also donations don't offer anything tangible in return to the payee.
offer a service, make a product and people will pay for it. isn't this what bitcoin advocates? don't sit on your ass. sell stuff and save in bitcoin.
💯
Thanks for your insight Jack.
working on maintaining and supporting the best money mankind has ever come across is a full time job. or at least it should be. we should demand that
building a business or income to sustain you and your family is also a full time job. why don’t you do your full time job for no pay and afford your life with a side gig consultant business?
it sounds nicer than it is in reality. i could be wrong, i get my info from developers. i ask them. but that’s why i said what i said. if people disagree that’s fine, just never fund devs. i’d highly question that but im not gonna try and force you to do something you want wanna do
Great message, thanks Jack
Amen 🙏
I second that.
What is your definition of an "economic node"? It sounds like you are saying full nodes operated by people who don't use bitcoin (the asset) don't enforce consensus.
You look like a baby smurf. 🧡
I'll zap core devs some sats. but how?
fair points. still i invite you to study Blender's funding model. it's the best success story i can think of. they started out as just an open-source project that volunteers contributed code to.
then they produced open movies, books, merch to support development. also offered paid consultancy, until they were able to afford a new location and a few full-time developers (their store seems to be down for now).
so, it can be done, just needs a bit of effort and i'm sure many of us will gladly pay for products that have a side-effect of supporting developers.

Toughen your chin buttercup.
Nice dude.
Bitcoin companies can make donations to OpenSats to pay devs and get a tax writeoff...?
How many should we order ? 
Of course a network of peers can be bribed, not only that but it can be sybil attacked. So dont be so naive as to assume that Bitcoin's security relies on human decency, it relies on code. What is this unbelievably pie in the sky garbage you are shilling about the software dude?
but the code relies on humans to run it. if humans get bribed to run bad code, there is nothing we can do
not sure if you disagree with that or what the argument is. that’s how bitcoin works
Running in Chicago is dope.
Thanks for saying this Jack
Right on Jack. Well said.
Same 🔥
In public for sure come on Jack say the name. I know you want to at least have a private conversation asking him. Why😘
🎯
Why do you think Dorsey and Odell are making a public rift with Saylor? It seems disingenuous to me and almost an attack to divide Bitcoin. seems unnecessary.
computers run code not humans, the economic nodes determine bitcoin and if no one is pushing actual p2p software it can easily be corrupted. fuck your centralized service model its gonna kill decentralization moron
It’s just virtue signaling, not material
this one has to shut down
take the headphones off
I know Saylor and Dorsey have opposite views of ordinals and inscriptions. I wonder if this is related?
Who else noticed the price of #Bitcoin is about to rip so hard that it creates a 90° right angle on the price ticker.
Get ready for the green candles🚀
This is the phase we’ve been preparing for since the lows of late 2022

What do you think is the best we can do for decentralizing the big mining pools manipulating the mempool to prioritize their transactions?
this is why I support opensats
Exactly. No need to gate keep.
Node runners take care of the issue.
Opensats isn't really "open" about their process:

@OpenSats @uu7201 Two suggestions to improve the process:
- Share feedback with projects/developers that get rejected with reasons. This would hel...
Somebody spam this to Michael Saylor
Totally agree but could we have the Saylor/ARK version of the story before drawing conclusions
?
Maybe Saylor just explained why he personally believes that the funding of core devs by big tradefi entities was a potentially dangerous idea, without threatening anyone, and that ARK/21S finally agreed ?
Agree 💯 - Thank You

Saylor has to say nothing. If ARK pulled back some commitment, they might have to explain why that is so to those who picked them but so far, odell made some strong claims and he's the only one who has something to lose if his claims never get confirmed.
Hey @npub15dql...lm5m grow a pair and listen to my boy Jack here!
Kind of agree on that, Odell has nothing to gain from doing false claim, it's not what I mean I believe him.
Still it's always a very different and more nuanced story once you've heard all parties involved, I'm sure anyone here already experienced such situation.
Some dumbass are accusing me of dick riding because they just hate Saylor for some reason, but they are the one being stupid at that point.
I'm sure he will eventually
C'est ça la subtilité des dons pour les entreprises , fiscalement...autant les embaucher
Pas avec Bkackrock tout est pratiquement géré par ses machines dans l'Etat de Washington Jack quand même. Ai été surprise depuis la photo que Larry, Dorsey et vous aviez prise ensemble. Mitigée depuis
What needs big money for what change in the code right now? Seems fishy to me.
I don't know about Odell's motives but I also doubt he did it just to stir some drama on nostr so that the Xitters have to come over to reply ;)
I would not take his word alone for it and start hating on Saylor just because Odell said something but ... it's more than just Odell at this point.
I agree with you 100% but it seems to be your video is triggered by unsubstantiated rumors

Bravo Jack👏
Thank you for being the change you want to see! 🌻
