Fwiw I have the *opposite* sentiment and have automatically DCA’d bitcoin twice per hour every fucking day of the year.
I’m not “rotating out of Bitcoin” [selling] like Mechanic. I am buying. What the fuck would I “rotate” into?
I save in bitcoin for my family with all the fiat I can earn, and earn bitcoin directly by getting paid in sats whenever I can.
I USE Bitcoin as MONEY every single day.
I use it as a store value, a medium of exchange, and my unit of account.
I send and receive on-chain transactions. I also use lightning every single day on Nostr, spend bitcoin at physical merchants whenever I have the opportunity, and buy bitcoin art and bitcoin products online using bitcoin. Whenever I spend bitcoin, I buy more.
Do whatever you want. Run whatever node implementation you want. I do not care what you do.
But realize that if you listen to defeatists like Mechanic, you will become a defeatist yourself.
Rage quit season is nigh.
Rage quitters end up with less bitcoin.

I would happily sell my bitcoin and buy something better but what the fuck is there? I mean this, this isn’t snark. Show me something better for the 10-20 year range and I’ll buy that.
More for us!
Yeah not sure what mechanic is “rotating into” but I can guarantee it will underperform Bitcoin and involves a trusted third party…

I virtue signal therefore I am- it’s now becoming nauseating. I’ve stopped using printers since I’ve heard people print nude pictures.

Mechanic is joining the XRP army
Dang Walker, mad respect to you bro. Thought I had been doing well with DCAing hourly with @Strike for the last year or two, and for periods also DCAing daily and weekly.
TWICE an hour? Flippin' legend! Not sure where else I'd do that, as I haven't seen it on the Fold card, and that is where the second part of my weekly fiat check goes. Seems Fold's rewards keep getting less and less every year though, so maybe time to rotate that fiat to Strike also.
Only losers quit
we need their ragequit sacrifice for the greater good.
I am with Mechanic on this one.
Bitcoin core guys are compromised!
They do not want the same Bitcoin as we do or need!
How is changing the default setting of a relay policy remotely being construed as compromised devs? You can run whatever the fuck you want for your node. It changes nothing. People using bitcoin in a way you don’t like changes nothing. Bitcoin is anarchy.
Deal
With
It.
These rotations are healthy. The main character syndrome some of these people have because they run a node is way too fucking much. Cool your mempool is pristine as the virgin marys arse, I’m so proud of you.
Do these guys really think they are saving bitcoin because they have arbitrarily decided to be stricter than consensus rules?
Making bitcoin a potential database for dick pics is not what the world needs!
Core v30 was built as a kill switch for bitcoin. When there are enough nodes running v30 TPTB can pull the plug on bitcoin: flood the network with ilegal data and make hosting a node ilegal.
This is why the only explanation I see is that they are compromised.
You could always flood the network with illegal data. Core v30 didn’t enable anything new in this regard. People have been embedding wired shit on chain from the beginning. If Luke Dash jr is guilty of it.
Your scenario is absurd. Hosting a node would already be illegal because the chain already houses illegal data. It matters not if that data is in op return or embedded elsewhere.
I view this as a great test of your freedom. If a country tells me running a Bitcoin node is illegal then I know the country I’m in is not free.
Why endanger what was conquered?
Why increase the risks?
Core devs are not stupid, they are compromised somehow.
We need a soft fork quickly
So you want to change consensus because of a relay policy default change? Why don’t you just run the relay policy you prefer?
The soft fork is doa. The proponents of it won’t bet on their own horse when there is deep pockets asking to take the no fork side of the bet. Why would any miner mine a soft fork that has no value?
Exactly!
Big money has compromised core devs!
The community overwhelmingly did not want the increase of Opreturn, they did it anyway and bragged nobody could stop them.
That's not what bitcoin is supposed to be about.
Fuk core devs.
It is not a coincidence that the ATH coincides with the release of v30
Big op_returns already existed prior to core30 so to call this an emergency is a complete fabrication. It is this sort of dishonesty and unhinged freaking out that makes the majority laugh at you.
Removing big op returns will just mean more non prunable utxo bloat. It is impossible to stop key stuffing.
If you truly think the price has anything to do with this shit why haven’t you taken rob Hamilton up on his bet?
Core can drift, companies can grift, incentives can get weird.
Bitcoin’s immune system is simple:
run something else.
Consensus doesn’t move unless everyone moves.
If v30 feels like a toilet brush, just don’t download it. Use an alternative. If anything, knots is more secure anyway because it sticks closer to the minimalistic values that made btc money in the first place.
Less shit = smaller attack surface.
Giving up on btc because you cant trust core dev, is like chopping off your nose because you don’t like farts.
Just move away from the guy who had last nights curry..
Problem solved.

I wish l could convince people that it's better to buy coffee with sats than buy dollars, but most people prefer buying inflation bucks with Bitcoin and buying coffee with inflation bucks.
There is no "sell Bitcoin," but the crashes will continue until people stop buying inflation bucks.
starbucks > inflationbucks
🤣
I went through about a week of similar copium thoughts, but then remembered where my nuts were located. 💁♂️
#Bitcoin / #BTC gender reveal season will be glorious. 🤙
This is very sad to see. This dude is out there talking about Bitcoin all day and getting paid to do so, and on the other side he's slowly leaving the boat.
