Has anyone tried asking ChatGPT, Grok, or one of the other AIs for recommendations on how to scale #Bitcoin?? 🤣
What if the AI says we moved too fast on Development the first 15 years??🤣
When Moses came down from the mountaintop with the 10 Commandments and found the Israelites worshiping and dancing around a Golden Calf, God didn’t say:
“You know what, Moses? It’s fine. All value is subjective. Let them dance.”🤣
Let’s not turn #Bitcoin into a Golden Calf.
What if I said the “just do something and change #Bitcoin so it can sCaLE for spEED” Fiat Mindset won the Blocksize Wars.
Spoiler: Pretty much everyone had that mindset back then and was in a hurry.
20/20 hindsight advice: Slow & steady wins the race & haste makes waste.
Fiat Clown Lords are unable to admit when they were wrong or how they could have been better using 20/20 hindsight (think Covid)
As #Bitcoin Players we have to be better about self-reflection than the Fiat Clown Lords, so that we can improve moving forward. (think Blocksize War)
Proof of Work/Labor is the most fundamental economic unit in the known universe.
Free Trade and Quality suffer greatly without Proof of Work.
Evidence? Boeing… and the quality of Food, Housing, Education, and Medicine in America.
Study #Bitcoin.
Questions for any proposed change to #Bitcoin:
-Could it be abused by degenerates/bad actors?
-How could it impact the economics/game theory for #Bitcoin miners?
-Will it still be relatively easy for practically anyone to run a full node?
Hard to swallow pill for some #Bitcoin Players:
We already increased the #Bitcoin Blocksize once with SegWit and #Bitcoin stayed in the Goldilocks Zone.
There is at least some signal in that… Stay open minded to ideas.
But turn the volume down on Egomaniacs like Roger Ver.
“Inscriptions also scale transaction density in that they transfer more than the face value of #Bitcoin. This may not be comfortable to admit, but all value of all txns is subjective”

Again, the road back to Fiat 🤡🌎 is paved with the DickButts of Subjective Value Maxis.
The tick and tock
Of chain and block
Shall break the locks
Of prison gates
And Bitcoin’s Car
Shall shine from far
And make and mar
The Fiat Fates

“Do not swear at all… let your yes be yes and your no be no.” -Jesus
“From deceit comes distrust, and through distrust in turn comes the oath” -Apollonius of Rome
“Trust me bro. I swear.” -Fiat Maxis

Interesting…
“One of the more intractable problems facing historians is that of translating the value of money over time. What was an 1869 dollar worth in today’s terms?
All too often this has been handled as though it were nothing more than a matter of inflation and the reader is advised simply to multiply antique monetary sums by a given factor. This might have worked well enough in the pre-industrial era, but the coming of the steam engine greatly exacerbated the difficulty of comparison.
Essentially, the Industrial Revolution introduced three new problems for historians. The first is rapidly rising real wealth…
The second problem is that while many commodities have remained stable in terms of the percentage of real income that they cost, they have become much cheaper in other economic terms, such as time….
The third problem is that technologies serving the same function at different times often cannot be readily compared…”
-A Note on Money and Time from John Steele Gordon’s Scarlet Woman of Wall Street
Something tells me #Bitcoin will make it easier for historians to perform historical economic analysis.
#Bitcoin is the Spirit of Radio. Rush knew.
Begin the day with a friendly voice
A companion unobtrusive
Plays that song that's so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood
Off on your way, hit the open road
There is magic at your fingers
For the spirit ever lingers
Undemanding contact in your happy solitude
Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antennae bristle with the energy
Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free
All this machinery making modern music
Can still be open-hearted
Not so coldly charted
It's really just a question of your honesty
Yeah, your honesty
One likes to believe in the freedom of music
But glittering prizes and endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity, yeah
Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antennae bristle with the energy
Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free
For the words of the prophets were written on the studio wall
A concert hall
And echoes with the sound of salesmen
Of salesmen
Of salesmen
And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
The blacksmith and the artist
Reflect it in their art
They forge their creativity
Closer to the heart
Yes, closer to the heart
Philosophers and plowmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the heart
Yes, closer to the heart, yeah, oh
Whoa, whoa
You can be the captain
And I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
Well, closer to the heart, yeah
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
I said closer to the heart
Well, closer to the heart, yeah
Closer to your heart
Closer to your heart, whoa

Fiat Income Taxes are a strong and credible threat against citizens to exchange #Bitcoin back for Fiat and pay their taxes.
So it is peak intellectual dishonesty to criticize #Bitcoin for not growing through traditional commercial vectors.
How much #Bitcoin does The Ethereum Corporation have left on its Balance Sheet? 🤣
They should simply divide all the #BTC pro-rata among all the ETH Shareholders in an orderly Bankruptcy Liquidation.🫡
#Bitcoin and Mycelium are basically the underground network that the researchers discover on Pandora in Avatar. 
Imagine being the Big 4 Public Acounting Firm that audits Coinbase and the #Bitcoin they’re holding on behalf of so many people.
Would be interesting how the auditor is testing Coinbase’s #Bitcoin balances for completeness, accuracy etc… internal controls too
If you’re a Noob… Read these books in this order and you’ll start flowing with the current of the #Bitcoin River: the only river on Earth that flows toward Freedom, Peace, and Prosperity.

Inventing #Bitcoin
The fair value of 1 single #Bitcoin is worth a lot more than whatever $70k can get you.
In fact, it’s not even possible to measure #Bitcoin’s value in terms of Fugazi Fiat units…
… because Fugazi Fiat isn’t a fairness protocol.
Dear all Bitcoiners who have been in #Bitcoin since 2016/2017
If we never activated SegWit or Taproot, what would you have done with your #Bitcoin?
Sell #BTC for Gold?
Sell #BTC for ETH?
Sell #BTC for Fugazi Fiat?
HODL #BTC?
Buy more #BTC?
