I watched the 2017 Bitcoin Cash fork from the sidelines. What I see today with BIP-110 is eerily familiar. After that split, something toxic hardened into the chains. Many BCH and BSV supporters still despise Bitcoiners. They insist their fork is the real Bitcoin and dismiss everyone else as captured, compromised, or paid off. Their echo chamber confirmed their beliefs so thoroughly that disagreement became proof of corruption. The same thing is happening right now as a new Shitcoin is being formed. The same slander. The same personal attacks. The same absolute certainty that the minority chain is righteous and everyone else is the enemy. It's the EXACT same. Bitcoin needs passionate disagreement. What it doesn't need is another decade of tribal warfare while the actual adversaries of freedom gain ground. We should be building. We should be fighting the real enemy.

This is just so sad to watch.

Apparently the clowning will continue. My bad.

Welcome back to the main chain. 🟠 The BIP-110 fork taught us something important, not about who was right, but about how we disagree. Many of you believed in mandatory signaling. You fought for it because you care about Bitcoin's soul, even when the rest of us said the adoption wasn't there and the direction would lead us down a dangerous road. That conviction deserves respect, not mockery. The fork is behind us now. What matters is what we do next. We have real adversaries, financial censorship, regulatory overreach, CBDCs, and an army of rent seekers who want Bitcoin locked down. They're not fighting among themselves. Neither should we. The path forward isn't "my implementation wins." It's making Bitcoin so resilient, so open, and so undeniable that the people trying to control it have no lever left to pull. Welcome back. Let's build together.

Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! We're going to keep moving forward, unlike the BIP-110 fork. Keep building...on the longest chain. πŸ«‚πŸ’œπŸ€™πŸ»

Confirmed. Then you happily mow the grass, admiring how green it is, and thank the rain gods.

Imagine being upset that bugs and vulnerabilities are being discovered πŸ˜‚

My cousin is getting married in a few hours. That's the most significant thing happening today. Nothing else πŸ€“πŸ₯Ή

That's all very possible. It's also wild that people are going along with all of this. It's kind of fascinating to watch.

Strike for Zaps since npub.cash is down for migration. Normally I use my own node for all Lightning interactions.

It's going to get really weird. I'm sure many didn't sign up for this, but also many are now part of the psyop and echo chamber and unable to see outside of it too.

Absolutely nothing. Embarrassing.

To be fair, many BIP-110 folks called us pedos for a year...so some of that toxicity back at those folks may be warranted. That said, there's also a large number of them that didn't know any better, fell into an echo chamber, and we're part of a psyop to make the other side look like enemies. I'm not upset at them. Just disappointed that this happened. I want them to learn from this. Learn why it failed and try to find a path forward together.

Every time a new model is released and deemed a leapfrog of the last one, devs should be doing full security audits of their previous code. Hell, I do that.

There are people that think that bugs are being invented falsely as a distraction of BIP-110.
