After we are done with spam, what do we do to make Bitcoin a project worth spending time on? Please tell me our goal is not for bitcoin to be something you buy and hold forever, hoping someone will pump our bags.

Peter, you should know better. Too much euphoria on gold means it's topping. Unjustified fear on BTC means it's forming a bottom. Mark my words.

Deep down, I know BIP110 isn't the right fix vs spam. Discussed endlessly back then: forking fails bc spammers adapt faster than we can fork. Still, the community's total inaction infuriates me so much that a fork at least proves we're not dead.

For me personally, Knots is now the reference implentation of Bitcoin.

The biggest problem on Bitcoin is that nobody uses it. The rest is noise.

Gloria is out, now we can climb back up

AI is incredibly cool and useful, but it will likely erode what’s left of our ability to think independently. In 20 or 30 years, our writing skills will decline drastically since AI will proofread everything. The same applies to programming and other tasks that require real cognitive effort. We’ll end up outsourcing our brains to AI, whether we like it or not. And what happens when three companies control the most powerful AI systems, and by extension, our thinking? It’s a slippery slope we can clearly see, yet seem unable to avoid.

Rizzo is a scammer

What you call money, we call slavery. What you call thin air, we call math. What you call unlawful behavior, we call freedom.

Many people are angry that principled pleb maxis are taking a stand for Bitcoin. Because they are afraid it hurts the price. Pathetic.

BTC stuff is easy when you're an 80 IQ pleb. You never sell anyway.

The most unwise, reckless and irresponsible thing Core could do was to introduce very controversial changes to Bitcoin. Especially if the changes represent a philosophical shift towards non-monetary use of Bitcoin. That’s what they did with v30. Reckless. Unwise.
