Just thought about how kind & helpful Bitcoiners are to noobs that approach #Bitcoin with honest questions and genuine interest.

But if you talk nonsense there is no meaner, more arrogant & humiliating group of people to dunk on you .. and the humiliation only gets amplified by them being constantly right about basically everything.

Must be rough for the militant no-coiners .. poor fools.

Explaining “Not your keys, not your coins” to a normie is much easier, when the last bank bail-in, confiscating large amounts of money from you or people you know, was just 13 years ago .. as was the case in Cyprus.

Amazing, how #Bitcoin meetups all around the world let you connect with awesome locals wherever you are. My first #Bitcoin meetup in Limassol (Cyprus) was a blast thanks to nostr:nprofile1qqsrqgajhd6eyarh22k3sypjrr0rq27xmh36j3qweuvltw0tnkd58lqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wwa5kuegx4xpdh & nostr:nprofile1qqspud03xkpx5uncuqjnlq84s3mck6mksvz3twq56zfc8yqerq9usdqpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqlzwt4s

There is a lot going on in the OP_RETURN debate, but I definitely agree with this:

"What the OP_RETURN debate has demonstrated is that Bitcoin Core and the Bitcoin technical community have not done a good job communicating their value – not to mention the rationale behind their decisions – to the average bitcoin user."

https://blockspace.media/insight/op_return-debate-the-influencers-vs-the-devs/

The Bitcoin Core developers have produced artifacts and content on these matters already, but those of us closely observing need to do a better job of disseminating that information to a broader set of Bitcoin ecosystem participants.

"The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place."

I need to do better.

Hm .. “We need to communicate better” is an established cop out when one has messed up but isn’t actually willing to take accountability

A recap of the OP_RETURN "debate"

------

Core: Filters don't work.

Bitcoiners: They obviously do, otherwise you wouldn't need to remove them.

Core: We don't have the technical means, so we're removing the limit.

Bitcoiners: We gave you the technical means in a PR two years ago, Core rejected it, it was implemented in Knots and it works.

Core: We can't stop all spam reliably, so why bother?

Bitcoiners: Because life is not black or white, and fastening your seatbelt when driving a car is safer even though some people die in car crashes.

Core: Here's 7 transactions that even your precious filters didn't catch.

Bitcoiners: Here's 2 million transactions that were caught.

Core: You can't censor valid transactions just because you don't like them. They paid a fee!

Bitcoiners: There's millions of Nigerian princes contacting people through email every day. These are "valid transactions" too, yet you send those to spam. This is obviously not censorship, so that argument is deceitful and intellectually dishonest.

Core: What is spam objectively anyway?

Bitcoiners: The receiver - not the sender - gets to decide what's useful to them. You're removing the ability of nodes to decide that, implying you know best.

Core: These transactions will end up in blocks anyway, and we can't incentivize profit-seeking miners to go out-of-band.

Bitcoiners: It's not your job to incentivize or deter miners. Your job is to work on the Bitcoin client while prioritizing the one thing that makes Bitcoin unique and truly decentralized: nodes.

Core: But we want better fee estimation and block propagation.

Bitcoiners: So do we, but never at the expense of decentralization and self-sovereignty. Nodes run the show.

Core: This is a technical discussion. Stop philosophying and using analogies, you plebs!

Bitcoiners: We gave you a technical solution that works, the philosophic rationale and the logical arguments. Stop turning Bitcoin into a shitcoin.

Am I missing anything here?

-------

If you're seeing bias here, it's because you're too stubborn to admit that one side is clearly more informed, rational and morally calibrated than the other.

This is why there's distrust in Core. It's got nothing to do with technical competency and rational discourse. It's just pure and simple political shenanigans, whataboutisms, strawman arguments and in some cases sheer lies.

- Hodling like i mean it

Seems pretty accurate.

Why do spam enjoyers that are all about “Drinking muh maxi tears“ cry so much when some bitfluencer announces he is running knots?

Notes from back in 2017 when I tried calculating relative strength for German DAX stocks .. instead of just buying #Bitcoin like a civilised human being.

Hilarious that normal people see Bitcoiners as this homogenous group of autists while being completely oblivious to the infighting & hatred among its subgroups.

Read this:

It's incredible how this came out 11 Years ago and still perfecly describes the crypto and even bitcoin industy.

Bruder.. konzentriere dich nicht auf s lesen lernen sondern auf s Satoshis stapeln!?!

Serious question.

Does a single person like this exist:

- understands Bitcoin on a deep level

- understands 'quantum' on a deep level

- can bench press > 100kg

- can do > 5 pull-ups

- thinks 'quantum' poses a threat to Bitcoin soon

Anyone know of good European Bitaxe Gamma sellers that offer them without fan? Want to build some liquid cooled ones.
