"Stop complaining. Attack."
I'd say, stop thinking that wall street is going to grow a conscience just because - this cycle - they decided to play with Bitcoin. We've been in attack mode since 2009 and most behaviour I see, from many self-proclaimed Bitcoiners, is just sad.
I always thought nothing could stop that train, because I thought #Bitcoin was absolutely scarce and immutable. Until I realized how easy it was for idiots to just change the code (ie Core v30). And neither the nodes nor anyone else did anything about the attack….
not to mention how conveniently segwit, and then taproot opened the chain wide to ordinals. or this bitvm stuff, the liquid sidechain, strike's kyc bitcoin, the BTCs starting with michael saylor, and now a seething swarm of fiat paper bitcoin, on top of the rehypothecation and paperizing from shitcoin exchanges, and citrea trying to push smart contracts into the chain
and then the cherry on top will be when US federal government declares bitcoin as a matter of national security, and they acquire 51% control. game over.
another 8 years i give it. something better has to be built in the meantime.
i'm not bearish short term, i'm bearish long term, on the specific project.
a lot of people have got rose colored glasses about bitcoin due to years of conditioning from bitfluencers, who likely are mostly being handled and shadow funded by intel.
nostr on the other hand, has caught them off balance. they are trying to leverage it for color revolution operations, with their point man with the beard and septum piercing.
I mean, even the meme doesn’t really make sense ;)
or buy up as much of that scarce supply as you possibly can.
Here is what's happening right now, we've sold too many coins to wall street too quick and we better fix that shit or live with the consequences.
Scarcity and immutability takes care of Wall Street. But how do we solve the attacks by the Developers? Core v30 proved that Bitcoin is not immutable.
devs *can't* attack consensus rules without the entire network agreeing – the v30 fuss was just social drama, not a violated consensus change. immutability isn't "the code," it's the 21M supply *rule* enforced by independent full nodes. if folks wanna quietly ignore the signal while wall-street vacuums coins, that's on us.
The nodes haven’t done anything about it.
The attack uses knobs — adjustable defaults, standards, and processes that subtly guide behavior.
The Bitcoin development process is a dense cluster of such knobs.
Control flows through funding, maintainers, policy defaults, and release cadence.
They already changed Bitcoin‘s properties from money to a shitcoin.
…don’t worry about Wall Street. Worry about the fact that people have lost trust in Bitcoin.
Just run core 29 or 28 or core 7 😉
My man it’s very simple. “Stop complaining. Attack”
General Marty has spoken and yet you continue to complain. Fuck sake.
