What’s a Bitcoin opinion that has you like this?
Discussion
That you need 1 whole coin
Bitcoin is for heterosexuals
The more you think about this, the more sage the wisdom
Rate of adoption doesn't matter, but it's inevitability does. Chill out and live life, the meek will inherit the earth.
When people tell me it’s too late to get some sats!
Bitcoin is a financial instrument, not a jpeg chain.
The one you mentioned about the dumb-dumbs not knowing what multi-sig means when they threaten you with a ~$5.00~ $10.00 wrench attack.
Multisig kinda sucks and most people aren’t up to it.
When I tell the real estate homies that I’m going to continue buying Bitcoin instead of rental properties
I doubt the intentions of core devs currently.
"core devs" are the niggers of bitcoin.
The top for the cycle is in
Core is probably already compromised and are the largest threat to the long-term viability of the project.

Lol. Would you like a zap for that?
Softwar is the only first-principles book written about Bitcoin.
Softwar starts at the very first principles of energy and life to build up Power Projection Theory, then applies it to Bitcoin. The theory models all life as abiding by the unexploitable laws of physical power, and human society as abiding by the highly exploitable laws of abstract power. It builds up a model for what physical power would look like in cyberspace and makes the case that Bitcoin fits the bill.
Most other books start with the properties of money, but use Austrian Economics as a "first principle" and consider violence to be a special case rather than a rule.
Interesting, I’ve read most of the bitcoin/Austrian economics ones. Always open to a fresh take. Thanks for sharing!
If you're interested, I've been recording an audiobook of it. Still need to do the last few sections.
Anyway I can get this as an mp3 for offline listening?
No problem. I'll put the rest in here as I finish up too.
Softwar is a pretty involved book as Lowery wrote it as a MIT masters level thesis paper. SkyGirlHI & Digital Swolljer wrote a book titled “For Thise In Rio Linda: SOFTWAR” which is billed as a “softwar for dummies” really simplified version. I haven’t read it yet but it’s next on my list.
I made a complete audiobook of it last month if you're interested
Bitcoin is not sentient and cannot fix anything. We’ve improved our own lives with a powerful tool that made us wealthier.
Onboard with this one. It’s just a protocol. People just needed a little hope to start acting right…
That’s what it was for me. I felt there was hope with Bitcoin, so I looked to the future. When you start to do that, you invest in yourself.
You still have to work your ass off. You still have to read books. You still have to go to the gym. You still have to develop self discipline. You still have to improve your diet.
For sure. All those things are just psychologically easier, fun even, when you’re full of hope. Imagine what the world could be if it hadn’t been sucked out most people
You don’t need to sell your chairs, car, and wife to stack. Chill the fuck out, cut the absolute bullshit, enjoy the occasional bullshit because it’s fun, live well and save the balance in bitcoin. Accumulating bitcoin doesn’t matter. Living a full, happy life matters. Bitcoin is just one tool. I mean, it’s a really good fucking tool and you should learn to use that tool very, very well to get ahead, but otherwise let’s just chill.
we need a dynamic block size
You shouldn't steal memes off X and repost them on Nostr.
The open mindedness that brought Bitcoiners to Bitcoin is, very often, NOT consistently applied to all areas of inquiry.
Many Bitcoiners are charlatans masquerading as paragons of open mindedness, conveniently paying little to no attention to the gains associated with being open minded with respect to Bitcoin.
This particular subgroup of Bitcoiners are "keep up with the Joneses" types who saw other people getting wealthy faster than they were. They're not open minded. They're profit minded which isn't necessarily bad, but when open mindedness and profit mindedness come into conflict, opportunity cost exists on both sides, and ignoring the unknown is a good way to get blindsided so it's typically wisest to pay the cost of learning and remain open minded.
The previous US regime was better for Bitcoin.
Mempool filtering is idiotism
🤨
homogeneous mempool is technically unsound and retarded
Bitcoin transaction fees wouldn’t be enough to secure the network in the long run
Saylor is not good for #Bitcoin.
For general adoption bits are better than sats
Saylor is good for #Bitcoin.
nostr:nprofile1qqsfjzteswm5cuyqpvvz40r0vszx4dcyql5u40xkeats5w9d48hht4guz0cnd is a shitcoin 🤷♂️.
The number one priority is adoption, not hodl. If you have a chance to spend your bitcoin directly on something that you want or need, do it.
“You’ll own nothing and be happy.”
Me holding my private keys: “Try me.”
Lightning is pretty cool and useful
Only a shotcoiner could have something against LN... (good for you)💪😎👍
Bitcoin will decrease abortions.
Great question 💡🔥⚡️
Blackrock can hold as many BTC as they want, because BTC is for everyone.
Bitcoin has been “quantum resistant” since 2009 and the BIPs are the “quantum threat”.
I’m sure this makes sense to you
Trust the science has become trust the physics; and very few people have attempted to verify to date.
If you thought the Keynesians were bad resisting bitcoin, wait until the physicists forced to next. Centralized Quantum Computing might be the largest sunken cost fallacy in all of science.
Yes. Maybe it will prove to be that. We’ll see.
How do? Would like to understand more
Without going deep into the physics of Bitcoin, I’ll try to keep my response where most people can hopefully understand.
Believing in both Bitcoin and centralized quantum computing is a contradiction.
Bitcoin is a decentralized, open source process where energy crystalizes into immutable information, it’s physical and auditable. It defines a quantum not through speculation, but through energy: each UTXO is a conserved quantum of entropy, resolved through irreversible work and recorded in an open ledger defined by absolute scarcity. It is the only system in existence where the conservation of energy and information is not an axiom—but a measurable outcome. Truth is computed/earned through work and verifiable scarcity.
Centralized quantum computing by contrast, demands belief without verification. It promises revolutionary computation, but offers no distributed audit, no open-source standard, and no observable output. The threat it poses is not a proof, it is a story told from behind the closed doors of state-funded/corporate-funded laboratories, veiled in unverifiable math and black-box error correction schemes.
This is the split:
Bitcoin is measured.
Quantum computing is assumed.
To fork Bitcoin’s protocol in response to this speculative, unverified narrative is to betray the very principles that give Bitcoin its meaning. It would be a reversion from energy to fear, from verification to fiat science. You either believe in a world where truth is conserved through proof-of-work, or you believe in a world where truth is declared by authority and simulation.
If the threat can’t be publicly observed, measured, and reproduced, it’s not a threat. It’s a theory. Convincing people to fork out of fear is the only way to stop Bitcoin.
Bitcoin computes the quantum from first principles; centralized quantum computing attempts to simulate on top of quantum particles it does not fully understand. The entire idea of superposition is complete nonsense. Bitcoin measures without bias, CQC imposes bias by privileged observation without ever defining what a measurement is.
What would a quantum computer look like if it wasn’t centralized in a lab, but decentralized globally, open source and fully auditable?
"If you buy Bitcoin on credit, you haven't understood it."
The same people telling you to be humble and stack stats are the same people that are trying to outperform bitcoin
Using ₿ and displaying an amount of Sats is fine 😅
It's never gonna be mainstream
Unlimited OP_RETURN combined with NIP-03/OTS will be amazing for Nostr
nostr:nprofile1qqspdudqzqx5ellme3prp68qus5se3vynsddcexkv5la5p7qxxcswjcprdmhxue69uhhw6r9v96zu6rpwpc8jarpwejhym3wvdhj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7qgnwaehxw309ahkvenrdpskjm3wwp6kytcymfx7k I love this Tangled reference
Sats aren’t the standard
We should all be using/selling bitcoin. If you aren’t, you have too much fiat (correct number is basically 0).
Satoshi’s words are not infallible gospel from on high. We have 15 years of operational experience running, improving and using Bitcoin. Not everything Satoshi did was correct. He should not be used as an appeal to authority.
When it comes to Bitcoin, I think it's like treasure in a mysterious sea, full of unknown charm! I once rented a 52-foot yacht in Dubai Marina with Bitcoin and went out to sea. https://www.skywalker.ae/yacht-rental-dubai/52ft-affordablea-yacht-charter-in-dubai-marina/
The life at sea was so cool, and watching the sunset while enjoying the sea breeze was simply amazing!
The current price of Bitcoin has me in a tough spot. I'm worried that if it keeps dropping, I won't be able to buy the brand-new powerboat I've been eyeing for ages. So I really hope it keeps going up. https://www.yachttrading.com/new-yachts-for-sale/yacht-type-poweryacht/
Even bitcoin falls to near zero value i wont compromise on it. Before it's a capital accumulation tool it's ethical currency. Ethics maximalism first, capital maximalism second.
Probably already happening quietly
Sats are sweeter if you stack them while debt free. Owning your home outright doesn't make you short Bitcoin.
Bitcoin will destroy capitalism.
(All the brainwashed cucks get upset whenever I say anything like that)
I would empathize with that until I read Bitcoin is Venice. If, from first principles, capitalism is defined as the actions directed towards the preservation of capital in all of its forms, then no, I view bitcoin as the ultimate form of capitalism
Capitalism as it is presented today as the peak greeed and profit seeking at all costs, that yes, it will die
But it's true!
Bitcoin is a religion. In essence, we are living through events that will become the new Gospel, the new chapter of Christianity
Logos
The block size limit is too high. Reducing it would be beneficial. 😎
Portfolio diversification ist bullshit
Taproot Wizards are decent people.
Hardware can help scale Bitcoin
The block weight limit is the spam filter.
The normalization of a consistently available (and consistently implemented) Testnet experience across wallet apps is necessary for the next level of self-custody adoption.
As is, without the ability to test-drive the bitcoin ecosystem as a whole risk-free, normies are intimidated into 3rd-party custody solutions - if they're not being scared away from bitcoin altogether.
The freakin seed oils man 😂 if I do any amount of research I always return to the conclusion that seed oils themselves aren’t a health issue (especially compared to anything that comes from an animal) and it’s more so the processed foods themselves that pose health risks.
But people on here will NOT hear that and are very determined that animal fats #ghee is the way to go even though there is data out there wazoo that shows otherwise 😅
Seed oils are highly processed though. Unnatural to human biology. I’ll stick with the ancestral foods
Bitcoin will fail if it isn't widely used as an alternative to the dollar and the banking system. If it's just used as a speculative store of value it will have failed in my eyes.
that the price in usd matters in any way, it doesn't
Bitcoin could easily fail and be replaced by something Superior.
And that superior thing will be a future upgrade to Bitcoin :)
that we have ever lived in a global free market.. we haven't.. small bunch of maybe 100 people ultimately run the world (central banks) - they are fucking cockroaches. BTC is the killer but its spraying slowly slowly block by block.. #bitcoin
Over the long term (50+ years), bitcoin will become corrupt, just as all human systems do. The young generation at that time will need to make their own coin, starting with a fresh blockchain. (They may even just take a copy of btc's code.) They will do this to regain freedom, and to undo the gradual corruption that our kids and grandkids will implement.
The Bitcoin backed promissory notes.

Zero reengagement
Low quality follow tbh 👎
We need to stop thinking about stupid solutions for inexistent problems, just ossificate.
Bitcoin will not fix the world 😎
If spam data is being written to the Blockchain it should be using OP_RETURN, which means removing limits makes complete sense, everything else corrupts the incentives 🤷♂️
Satoshis and BTC should swap denominations.
