How about we just make the blocks bigger and tell anyone who wants to centralise and fuck with it to fuck off and we will kill them if they try

All changes in #BTC core is an attack on #Bitcoin.

Think about it, which human creation would work if the number of users increase like x100 tomorrow morning?! (Roads? Hospitals? The corner store?)

The L2 must be fully exploited before we consider any change.

The options are bitcoin is programmable money or bitcoin is an investment vehicle controlled by the CIa, saylor, and tradfi. I choose the former.

I don't care about hiding who I am, the greatest threat is and was government intervention and censorship. Jack Dorsey gave the FBI an office at Twitter, Elon told them to get fckd. X is the only major social media company that doesn't actively censor at the government's behest.

You willing helped them do it! Elon is the last one holding the line while the rest of you ran and hid. Put your money where your mouth is and join him on X, show the world you truly care.

There is a common phrase: “he/she woke up today and chose violence”.

I like it. It is funny. But it is imperfect.

“Violence” is now a verbal defensive phrase that means too much. To “wake up and choose violence” in the modern parlance of people who know zero struggle means to choose public verbal opposition. Okay, sure. But not really.

I woke up today and chose rhetoric. Not violence.

I spent years doing mixed martial arts competitively. I know violence. I am trained in a dozen ways to choke someone out, and have been choked out in’s dozen ways. I have had a 200 pound male fireman try to beat me unconscious and fail to do so. Even that wasn’t really violence, since it was controlled. Assholes on my trailer park bus stop in my teenage years were violent.

Verbosity isn’t violence. It is rhetoric.

I woke up today and chose rhetoric. I woke up today and chose to defend noncustodial privacy tools with language and resources. Coordinating messages between entities shouldn’t be a crime per se.

Bitcoin is anti-fragile and will continue to be so, thanks to all the people who work hard for it. But it is not without a fight.

Privacy is necessary in a free society in the digital age. A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto made this clear three decades ago and is still true.

The coordinated attack from regulators and law enforcement in the U.S. against #Bitcoin has done nothing to protect Americans, those looking to invest or use Bitcoin, or stop criminal activity.

It's all a taxpayer funded sham that will be brought to light over time.

It’s time to go on mega, mega offense. Time for the people to keep them in line via all the mechanisms outlined in our constitution, for the system of checks and balances across our federal system to actually be adhered to. I think we’re being far too nice about their dereliction of duty and service, and the complete fuckery they’re imposing on our imperfect, but pretty amazing democracy and ideals.

A decade ago I was in my car at a stoplight, and there was a bunch of seagulls eating a discarded bag of fast food in the intersection.

When the light turned green, the car in front of me went slowly to give the seagulls a chance to fly away, but they didn't. Instead, the car's tire just slowly ran over a whole pile of seagulls, who just kept going after the fast food as they were run over. I just watched horrified as this played out.

Every once in a while, I just wonder why the seagulls never got out of the way despite how slow the threat was.

Anyway, looking at the bond market reminded me of this again today.

“The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you’ll be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.” (Rudyard Kipling in 1935)

I’m an incredibly generous zapper. Some are saying the most generous.
