gm, believing that you must act, or else Bitcoin will die, is the core symptom of Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome.
Follow what you passionately believe in, but don’t let it consume you. And if you need reassurance that not giving in to emotions is the right path, just look at the history of everyone who fell to BDS (Roger Ver probably being the most famous example).
In the long run, it's far better to focus on your proof of work than on "fixing" what others are doing.

Good morning rockstar 🥰☕
Incorrect. I am extremely outnumbered by dangerous people and it is very important to do as much as possible to stop them from harming me in the future.
Bitcoin me está salvando de muchas cosas y fortaleciendo la familia 🫡
Everyone wants to be a rockstar until it's time to be a rockstar!
GM. Doing nothing is a superpower.
The irony is that Bitcoin’s greatest feature: not caring about human emotions, is exactly what these activists can’t accept

Good morning uncle
Hopenyou have a nice day 🫂
We don’t know what we don’t know, stay humble, stack sats
Sweet dreams 💤
Maybe you just like playing into that?
Amen brotha.
So don’t update or change the rules then
I run knots and core.
They are both neighbors and peers.
Nothing is broken.

Exactly, Uncle!
Bitcoin doesn’t need saviors it needs builders, thinkers, and doers who quietly stack, build, and live their proof of work. History shows the network outlasts the drama. The strongest signal is found in patience and persistence, not in panic. ⚡
Congratulations.
Great take
Quite so.
Nor, frankly, must Nostr become solely a BTC hive, with multi crypto bro drone posts.
It needs, like life itself, the spectrum of new tech, crypto, old tech, philosophy, silliness, escapism, wisdom uniltered beyond 5 second soundbites, music, video, bourbon, bottleneck blues, future hope.
Oh, and adventure. 🙃
Adventure is always good.
GM 🫂☕
Building
amen
glad to be the nephew of a preacher man 🙏

Including those on the Core dev team? Or only the people who disagree with them?

✊Fully endorsed, Bitcoin’s resilience has never depended on emotional crusades it has always depended on proof of work. Those who let ego or panic drive them eventually burn out. But those who stay focused on building, stacking, and living their time preference become the real signal, they are called Rock Stars✨🤘❤️🔥
Good Morning, Uncle ☕🫂

Exactly 👌 Bitcoin doesn’t need saving, it thrives on individual proof of work. Those who tried to ‘fix’ it usually ended up hurting themselves more than anything. The best path is to stay focused and keep building.
You call it BDS, I call it codependency 🤷♀️ 😉
No.
The level of dishonestly I see on NOSTR when it comes to Bitcoin vigilance is just unreal.
People's WILLINGNESS to act upon Bitcoin to adapt to threats and vulnerabilities is the reason why Bitcoin always wins. Not some delulu ooga booga "mythical magic" that Bitcoin inherently has, which makes it ALWAYS win against threats like its some anime plot armor; as is a popular belief among NOSTR users, apparently.
To think otherwise is what I will like to call NOSTR DELULU SYNDROME.
View quoted note →You call it "codependency", I call it having basic vigilance and responsibility. The only reason why Bitcoin survived for years is because Bitcoiners were always quick to adapt to threats.
Dishonest people on Bitcoin Core allowing updates that enable illegal nonmonetary data is one of the threats that Knots users are responding to.
If this is in response to Bitcoin Core vs Knots, then sorry but this message is disingenuous.
The Bitcoin community responding to, adapting against, and being vigilant towards any and all threats and vulnerabilities against the network is the only reason why Bitcoin has survived this long, even from things that crashed it and almost spelled its "death".
Core should have taken this advice much earlier. Users aren't forced to use a certain Bitcoin client. If not acting is not upgrading to 30, I'm all for this approach.
At the same time, signalling the client policy you agree with also doesn't harm anything. To the extent that this is acting, it's neither a radical action, nor overly impactful. But it takes some power away from those acting without forethought (or worse, with it).
Nothing crypto about Bitcoin. If you're a Bitcoiner, you're not a crypto bro.
Acting Bitcoiners are the immune system of Bitcoin, uncle.
Isn’t Core the one trying to “save” Bitcoin by making a change?
Core isn’t ‘saving’ Bitcoin, they’re just making sure it stays true to its original rules. The code doesn’t need rescuing, it just needs defending from unnecessary changes.
GM!
Correct!
Wrong! Again, not helping. Such a useless note.
What does Bitcoin dies actually mean?
