Take delight in things for themselves without reference to yourself… The chain of memory is resurrection.

The best way to decentralize Bitcoin mining is to build your own blocks with your own Block Templates.

Spam filters do not centralize Bitcoin mining.

Miners outsourcing Block Templates and Block Building functions to Miner Pools centralizes mining.

Spam distorts Bitcoin’s Difficulty signal.

This leads to malinvestment for Miners and other Bitcoin Users who are trying to make economic calculations for their livelihoods.

Godspeed. 🇺🇸🦅🫡

Bitcoin is the best money ever because of the genius of Satoshi’s original design and the overwhelming logical and ethical integrity of Bitcoin users.

Bitcoin isn’t the best money ever because of Segregated Witness, the Witness Discount, Lightning, or Taproot.

Godspeed. 🇺🇸🦅🫡

The “experts” and “thought leaders” didn’t advocate for No Change to Bitcoin in 2017 in the face of SegWit or BCash or in 2021 in the face of Taproot.

In 2025, I’m relentlessly advocating for No Change to Bitcoin in the face of unnecessary changes proposed by Nihilists.

The centralized humility and wisdom of Satoshi Nakamoto as Bitcoin’s Lead Dev Maintainer was superior to Bitcoin Core’s current incoherence trying to unilaterally remove the Op_Return Limit using fallacious Motte and Bailey logic to dismiss concerns.

There’s no need to change Bitcoin consensus right now.

Bitcoin faces zero existential threat today and has no need to change.

But if you must change Bitcoin, then hard fork off.

A contentious but messy soft fork would be worse than a contentious but clean hard fork. 🇺🇸🦅🫡

Did you know that Bitcoin would still be working today just fine even if we never activated SegWit or Taproot?

🇺🇸🦅🫡

What would it seem like if it seemed like differentiating Bitcoin from Shitcoins like ETH as much as possible in pursuit of Bitcoin’s Sound Money Mission was the dominant strategy?

Would it seem like Bitcoiners should stop arbitrary data storage use too?

Seems like it.

Bitcoin is the harmonization of subjectivity and objectivity.

Spam Apologists have problems with the objectivity element of Bitcoin and reality.

🇺🇸🦅🫡

Yes, the Difficulty adjusts to a ~10 minute block interval.

But if Bitcoiners keep changing consensus rules that the Difficulty adjusts to, then we are making it harder to compare Bitcoin’s economic data over Time.

We don’t need more Bitcoin Soft Forks anytime soon.

Rounders reminds me of #Bitcoin.

You got Mike (Matt Damon). The #Bitcoin purist who plays the game straight up.

Then there's Worm (Ed Norton). The guy who gets #Bitcoin but also greedy and always looking for that edge to outperform with an ace up the sleeve.

According to the Ethos of Bitcoin Spam Apologists, JP Morgan was right to bank Jeffrey Epstein because if they didn’t, then some other bank would have. 🤡

We can ignore business ethics, but we can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring business ethics.

Godspeed.🇺🇸🦅🫡

Simply not updating to the newest Core update and configuring your own node with sensible filters seems like a good move.

Seems like Knots is a good alternative option from Core.

Man can ruin water.

Man can ruin food.

Man can ruin anything,

If Man is in the mood.

Man can ruin music.

Man can ruin sports.

Man can ruin Sunday Brunch,

If Man is out of sorts.

So here’s a pinch of Wisdom

for your Sunday Stew.

#Bitcoin ain’t the issue.

The issue here is you.

The Rhyme of the Ancient Banker

Heads I win.

Tails you lose.

It’s much more fun

When you’re in on the ruse.

QE for me,

And QT for thee,

And if all else fails,

QE Infinity.

Let them eat cake

And have it too.

I have had my fill.

How about you?

Got #Bitcoin?

Bitcoin Spam Apologists: Alright Mr. Perfect, if you’re so smart, how do we support Bitcoin’s future growth and adoption without selling blockspace to Degens?!

Me: Focus on Abolishing Income Taxes.

Spam Apologists: What?!?! Ugh! I can’t believe you! That’s dumb! Reeeeeee!!

Are you not familiar with hypothetical thought experiments, my guy??

My gut feeling is the vast majority of miners would not be happy if they found out their Hash was being used by a mining pool to knowingly sell blockspace to settle a human trafficking transaction.

Or should I not moralize that?🤡

🇺🇸🦅🫡

Abandoning Morality and Ethics is what led us away from the Gold Standard to full blown Fiat Clown World in the first place.

And now some Bitcoiners are saying we should abandon ethics and morals and stop “moralizing” how people use Bitcoin even if they’re abusing it.

Sad.

Would the Bitcoin Spam Apologists prefer if Filter Advocates’ analogies gave them bad fuzzy feelings??

Because I’ll be honest, the analogies that Spam Apologists use give me bad fuzzy feelings.

Bitcoiners should listen to their gut instincts and their conscience more.
