Agreed. It's becoming increasingly clear that Saylor sees Bitcoin as something that will revolutionise the current system, whereas Jeff sees it as a replacement and fundamentally incompatible. Saylor's interviews were a key component in my initial understanding of Bitcoin, but it's hard to see how the path he's forging doesn't lead to precisely what Jeff has guarded against. It's not an asset within the credit based system, it's a new system entirely. It's not a store of value, but new money that satisfies all criteria as money, including medium or exchange and unit of account.

Now do the same keeping 12 words in your head and it's absolutely mental.

Written by the podcasters right?

Just playing devil's advocate here, but do you not think that point 2 is exactly his point? His concerns around Knots seem to be centred around Luke being the only lead maintainer. As far as I'm aware, he's certainly never recommended upgrading to version 30. What we need is to keep all aspects of bitcoin as decentralised as possible - mining, ownership and node software. As a prominent voice in the space, if he were to give put his full weight behind Knots it could have a large impact. Maybe it's correct that he's cautious with his opinion and guarded about what he recommends. For what it's worth, I recommend Knots. But not to everyone. Multiple node implementations are what's required and people should have more than one choice. Not upgrading is still a vote against version 30. To be clear though, Core version 30 has been a shit show and is an open arms gesture to spam and non-monetary transactions.

We went there on our honeymoon, beautiful place. You should try La Tagliata if it's still there.

You have other work?

Banning the Kaiser Chiefs would be the one thing I'd vote for.

Can you elaborate? From the outside, it looks like version 30 has opened doors for arbitrary data that weren't open previously. It looks like encouragement and it looks like it has been done to satisfy one entity in Citrea. I'd genuinely like to know why this is untrue.

Stay humble, stack satchels.

. I hope you're well. I wondered if you'd take a moment to read the article below and give me your thoughts. https://open.substack.com/pub/anotherbitcoinpodcast/p/jeff-booth-ruined-my-podcast?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=1nivjq

Yeah, I had a similar offer from Ledger by email. They just needed confirmation of my seed phrase.

Oh man, turn the damn boat around guys.

I'd suggest they remain ready to pivot at a moment's notice.
