Some Fugazi Bitcoiners are trying to open up Bitcoin to the VC Fiat Clowns at the Gates, and now they’re offended by real Bitcoiners’ outrage at their feckless reckless Denethor-style madness. Fugazis would rather self-immolate on their Spam Pyres than admit they’re wrong. Sad.

I prefer to engage in a standards competition and accept a more fragmented relay network over mindlessly bending the knee to Core Devs trying to Grima Wormtongue their shitcoin standards into Bitcoin en masse. Filters up. Don’t outsource your full node agency to others.✊🏼🫡

Bitcoin Standards Kombat has begun. Mixed Martial Argumentation on Twitter will continue until filtration standards improve. Bitcoin’s purchasing power is directly proportional to its quality control filtration standards. Do Knot make arguments that you can Knot defend.

Spam Apologists in 2023 during the Inscriptions Attack: “Inscriptions were already possible! You’re overreacting!” Spam Apologists in 2025: “Ridiculously large Op_Returns on Bitcoin are already possible! You’re overreacting!” Are you watching closely, Bitcoin Wizards?

“Why didn’t the Bitcoin users just listen to Vitalik and standardize ridiculously large Op_Returns in 2014?!?! Reeeeee!!!” -The Musings and Reeeee of the Bitcoin School of Anti-Filtration and DickButt Apologism

The Core Devs are right. We’ve been wrong about Op_Return limits since 2014. We should have listened to Vitalik. Without Op_Return pre-2014 and a limited Op_Return since 2014, Bitcoin’s purchasing power & network effects only outperformed everything. Remove the limit. /s

Live look at me defending Bitcoin’s purpose against Agent Spam. 🔐

Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it. Matthew 7:13-14 on Bitcoin. Filters up.✊🏼

Knots at 19% on Bitnodes.io currently. Bitcoin users are migrating to the Knots Watch. Do not go quietly into that night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Core Bots will say it’s not possible. The Knots Watch Mavericks know it’s necessary.

Changing a technical default setting in the wrong direction without consensus is bad enough. Taking away the ability/making it harder for users to configure their nodes without consensus is a betrayal of the Bitcoin Ethos & Logos. Core is wrong on technicals, Ethos, & Logos. Run Knots. Point hash at Ocean using DATUM. Build your own blocks. Filters up. ✊🏼

Propagating BS like “your node doesn’t matter” is like putting misleading Dead End signs all the way down the Bitcoin Rabbit Hole so Bitcoin Noobs stop short of an essential milestone marker on their Bitcoin journey. Run a full node. Run Knots. Filters up.✊🏼

2014: Relaxed Op_Return Filter to 40B 2016: Relaxed Op_Return Filters to 83B 2017: Relaxed Block Size Filter to 4MB 2021: Taproot upgrade without proper Filters 2025: Relaxed Op_Return Filters again, then moved to remove Op_Return Filters Reverse course. Tighten filters.✊🏼

Core: Use relay policies that help Degenerate Nihilists abuse Bitcoin more because it’s already possible to abuse Bitcoin. (Bitch Energy) Knots: Use relay policies that help defend Bitcoin’s Monetary Integrity from Degenerate Nihilists. (King Energy) Which way Bitcoin Lion?
