Hol'up .. is this the technical core of our current Bitcoin drama? #asknostr #bitcoin

Luke is the most different of all different breeds lol .. I like the section about how a turbo-autist, immune to peer pressure might not be the best person for managing an important open-source repo. But regarding the Knots repo management critique, imo one needs to cut Knots some serious slack, because it was basically irrelevant until a few weeks ago .. must improve over the next 1-2 years though.

It's true, I'm the Ford Mustang.

Impossible, I was told spam apologists were emotion-transcending, stoicism-scale-blasting, fact-fueled demi-androids. While we mere mortal Knotsis need food to propel our well-sculpted bodies into our Lambos, they run on nothing but technical facts .. facts .. so many facts, bro.

Regarding Pieter Wuille's article on the relay policy drama, I find it strange that the slower relay of non-standard blocks is always portrayed as a purely negative outcome that must be prevented at all costs. When mining is centralized, as it is today, you’re already relying on the miners’ goodwill not to give themselves a head start anyway .. so why pathetically cater to them? When mining is decentralized, non-standard blocks take longer to propagate through the network, increasing the risk of becoming stale. This, in turn, discourages miners from including transactions that the network does not like, making nodes a much more relevant force in shaping the 'average Bitcoin transaction' than the article of Pieter Wuille portraits it as. #bitcoin #knots #core

Would it have been better if Satoshi just went “Fuck that, we use the patented Schnorr signatures instead of ECDSA .. tf they wanna do? Sue us?” Devs would probably have to be even shadowier super coders in the beginning but it would have been another example of Bitcoin’s power. #asknostr #bitcoin

Yesterday, there was a Mercedes 300 SL "Gullwing" on my gym parking lot. Back then, at $6,800 it cost twice as much as a Corvette and many consider it to be the world's first supercar. Only 1,400 of these coupés were built from 1954 to 1957. This monster came in with a 215 hp 3.0L inline-6 with fuel injection, which was absolute peak German engineering that put everything else to shame. Nowadays, these cars trade around 1.5 million dollars, which is a 7.3% CAGR, and I'll get one once #Bitcoin hits parity.

Mr. Taleb as confused as per usual when addressing complex issues. The scientific method should be the go-to way of trying to understand something. However, in a situation of strong politicization of a complex societal issue, such as Covid, climate change, Gaza or Bitcoin, it becomes essential to add Bro-Science to your approach of trying to understand things. Bro-Science is most powerful when you're part of the analyzed system yourself and its 'test cycles' are relatively short. This allows you to collect many personal data points that the confused & archaic 'The Science ™' people dismiss as anecdotes. Incorporating these data points into your analysis becomes important when your gut tells you that the common narrative's math ain't mathing. If you used Bro-Science as an additional tool you were able to: - brutally outperform Taleb by DCAing Bitcoin - recognize that banning children from kicking around a ball outdoors due to Covid is a net negative - recognize we understand climate change much less than it's commonly presented as In contrast, for me, Bro-Science is a relatively weak tool at analyzing the Gaza conflict, as I don't have any personal or friends' experiences of the conflict. In short: Trust your gut. Don't disregard your own experiences & thoughts on a complex matter just because someone with a fancy title tells you they ought to be disregarded. That loser weirdo probably can't even bench 100kg anyways (125 kg hip thrust for queens). #bitcoin #covid #broscience
