I have spoken on the podcast fairly recently about my experiences meeting and becoming friends with people who were there at TS in ‘89.

Those not there in those days cannot truly understand the horror that happened.

Freedom technology and freedom money is one of the major reasons I “bitcoin”. Don’t let governments sweep under the rug what happened. Thousands and thousands of people died needless deaths because of a communist tyrant.

This is not going to end up positively for core .. I kinda feel sorry for them that they are so blind..

More diversity for the Bitcoins is always a good thing though. Onward and upward!!

I’ve been saying this since they came out. Nice tools bit not A.I. Great way to increase productivity but not A.I.

Carry on …

Would love to go to that conference and the Riga one as well.

Occasionally good content on open source stage. Not worth the trip I think.

Bitcoin is money.

And it must be preserved as such. Money is the ultimate tool for distinguishing what's important from what's not. Every civilization that successfully scaled needed to invent it. Those that didn't remained stuck at a certain level, unable to deal with the information overload. Its people became lost in the games of lies and deception, as they resorted to inferior substitutes to serve as currency.

Bitcoin needs to do one thing - be a decentralized ledger tracking who owns how much value, independent of any trusted third party. That's it.

As Bitcoin continues to be increasingly successful, it's understandable that specific people will propose changes to gain more power or to shape Bitcoin to suit their specific needs. However, just because they try doesn't mean they should be allowed to. If we let Bitcoin's purpose become diluted to accommodate every use case, we'll end up pleasing none. Demand for a decentralized, always-available, general-purpose database is infinite. Everyone wants to write THEIR data into such a source of truth.

If the data they're writing represents monetary transfers of value (especially from those who have a lot of sats to those who don't) - we should absolutely encourage and facilitate this.

But if the data they're writing is a personal expression of vanity or a scheme designed to trade their 1 sat for more sats from someone else, we should absolutely call them out. More importantly, we should actively work to prevent such schemes from succeeding and from being built on top of Bitcoin.

If people want to play zero-sum games and build "decentralized world computers", Ethereum already exists. That experiment has run its course over the past decade, and even its benevolent dictator & prophet Vitalik had to admit failure and propose a new five-year plan to make Ethereum "as beautifully simple as Bitcoin".

Use Bitcoin the way you use money in your life - to focus your efforts and separate truths from lies. Help others do the same. Remember: you don't change Bitcoin; Bitcoin changes you. And those wanting monkey jpegs on the blockchain, elaborate technical experiments, personality cults, or thrilling zero-sum games should be directed toward Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, or whatever shitcoin currently boasts the largest marketing and R&D budget.

I will be sixty two when my youngest graduates from high school. I’m done :)
