their families are waiting until both keonne and bill are in jail before accepting bitcoin donations due to court order

with autonomous drones there is a high level of plausible deniability so i think we will see less peace but hopefully im wrong

β€œOn December 15, 2025, Ukraine opened a new chapter in naval warfare by using an underwater drone to strike a Russian submarine in the defended port of Novorossiysk. It was the first time a UUV had ever been used in a strike. The target was a Kilo-class submarine, valued at roughly $500 million.

UUVs operating in the Florida Straits and near the Panama Canal would put at risk the commercial arteries that carry half of American trade and the sea lanes that sustain military power projection. That is the kind of threat that changes posture overnight.

Venezuela has established a pattern of accepting foreign-enabled drone production, electronic warfare support, and strategic naval deployments. The regime has built the infrastructure (ports, coastal access, cartel logistics, sanctions evasion channels) that would support a UUV program. If Iran is willing to transfer drone manufacturing capability and deploy seabase ships into the Atlantic, the step to UUVs is not a leap. It is an extension of what is already underway. And it is the extension that would explain why Washington responded the way it did.”

its not backwards compatible for those who do not move to the new signature scheme

if you freeze coin that does not move to a new signature scheme it will result in a chain split

calling it a soft fork seems disingenuous

yes, the alternative is to effectively preemptively steal their bitcoin which is strictly worse

should we burn saylors coin because the us gov might steal it?

> This still allows for coins from lost wallets and dead people to be stolen. We are cool with this?

yea so we roll out a new signature scheme that is opt in, tested in the wild over time, and no coin is frozen

i support that

it is a hard fork because the result would be two chains: the existing chain and one with frozen coin

first of all the term upgrade is a psyop, it is a hard fork

second of all, all proposed quantum resistant signature schemes have tradeoffs, mainly they are much less efficient and have untested security guarantees

saylor seems to be advocating for a hard fork that forces people to move coin.

burning those who do not comply.

this breaks the fundamental social contract and value prop of bitcoin: sovereign ownership and property rights.

it must be opposed. strongly.

whats more likely?

1) satoshi’s coin is stolen by a quantum attacker

2) saylor’s coin is stolen by the us gov

freezing or seizing old addresses as part of a β€˜quantum hard fork’ is a non starter

never going to happen, nor should it

quantum risk is theoretical, any protocol changes should do no harm

definitely a disappointing cycle so far but price was $40k when i posted that

you can zap tether gold on rumble

if it is not obvious yet the game is gold vs bitcoin

competing monies, one will win

my bet is on bitcoin, all in

wife blessed us with another son.

healthy.

home birth.

no vax. no cut.

raise strong families.

onward. 🫑

there has never been a soft fork pushed through without consensus but if one were to it would natually result in a chainsplit

otherwise any of us could change bitcoin rules at will

this is basic shit

you should improve your understanding rather than continuing your harassment of me but so be it either way

netherlands should be live, did you update your app?

signal is centralized but i would still categorize it as freedom tech

they are just under 100m users, which is about 1% of world population

first, amazon cameras on every porch

now, facebook cameras on every face

influencers milking this shit for engagement is disgusting

our society has lost its way

true but i assumed he meant user facing

i am pretty sure most end users will not use freedom tools, a minority will prioritize it, and that is my focus, but would be great to be wrong
