I’ll ask here, too. So do you think Matt Odell is giving bad advice when he strongly recommends Coldcard, Samourai, and Whirlpool?

I remember Luke being very early to understand the unintended network split…and to propose the new and unexpectedly hard forking “rule” be rejected. I like Luke a lot. He’s not great at expressing himself but if you understand what he’s really saying, he’s rarely “wrong.”

I don't get it. How does this cap keep hanging without a hard fork? Or is it only for creating new blocks, while validating existing ones can be of any size?

Luke is Luke. We disagree on a vast array of things. However, his knowledge of, experience with, and contributions to the Bitcoin software ecosystem are equally vast, and in the end, that's all that matters.

WTF mate?! Can’t even pay in bitcoin?!

Don't trust, verify. 👍
