Now that it’s over I think it’s time we all admit how much 15k sucked.

if you could receive a letter from your future self, what advice or insight would you hope to find in it?

GM Nostr, Morning thoughts…

We shouldn’t be shocked by Gods greatness. He wants us to walk with grace, strength, joy, humility, certainty, and abundance.

But often times our mindset isn’t setup to walk with that. We walk with fear, anxiety, chaos, jealousy, and confusion.

We should stop expecting mediocre results in our lives and those around us.

We should expect great things out of each other and we should be helping each other get there.

Who is ready to stop expecting mediocrity in your life?

Let’s go do some winning!

Devs, scientists, technologists, cypherpunks. I want to follow you.

Here's why there are deep incentives for a Bitcoin fork with the Ordinals people.

Ordinals/BRC-20/Inscriptions are now VC funded. And they're going to be pressured to keep growing, no matter what. Yet the hype around their stuff will inevitably fade. And whatever profits they had will dry up. So what will they do?

There are two paths. One is to increase revenue, the other is to reduce costs. The first will be very difficult to do without some new narrative. And they might try that, but it's going to be very difficult on Bitcoin... At least as it currently stands. They could move to another chain, but then, their whole reason for existence, being built on Bitcoin will be no more. Hence the incentive to create new narratives around their stuff and to add "features" to generate interest means some sort of fork.

The other path is to reduce costs. The most obvious cost is the fees being sent to miners. And to reduce that, you need to increase block size or make the blocks more frequent. Either way, this is incentivizing a fork.

The point is that once VC funding entered the picture, the path was set. There will be a conflict of visions and a "peaceful coexistence" was never going to be the outcome.
