3) Increasing the block size has only limited/reduced access to run Bitcoin full nodes, not ensured it. Node counts have dropped drastically (50%!) since then, and it is clear in retrospect that the block size increase was a huge mistake.

4) The "Bitcoin Independence Day" is only coincidentally related to Segwit. The relevance of it is rejecting control of Bitcoin by miners. Several developers attempted to re-assert miner control over Bitcoin 2 years ago with Taproot (so-called "Speedy Trial"), and it's important to remember what "Bitcoin Independence Day" was all about (and the lessons we supposedly learned) and push back against that to ensure it never happens again.

Thanks for posting on nostr Luke!

I had some threads from you on Twitter in my bookmarks to read later which they don't allow me to read anymore.

Knowing this kind of thing can never happen on nostr is one of the reasons I keep building here.

Luke Dashjr 2y ago

It can still happen on nostr.

Saving local copies is the only solution for either Twitter, nostr, or anything else

Fabian 2y ago

Yep, I have a local copy of all received posts by default 🙂

Need software to do this easily and automatically.

Fabian 2y ago

Nostur does this automatically, it will eventually remove older posts, but not if it is your own posts or you have it bookmarked

Thank you for the explanation!

In fact, upon further reflection, it's very important to call this out. Bitcoin independence day is about UASF, _NOT_ about segwit. Making it about segwit distracts from the real meaning and we need to ensure UASF mindset remains prevalent in Bitcoin, especially these days.
