Sorry for the long post and tangent, but this just reminded me of someone close to me that has a real shit outlook on life. I’m sure the coffee shop “paper” cups for years that she lives off of has something to do with it. Along with many other things like the dyed drinks she prefers.

To think, her Adderal and Antidepressant prescription may have not been the answer she needed from the medical community when she couldn’t seem to find any motivation for life! What a shock! To think, she never learned about this while getting her Masters in Environmental Science and Public Health.

This same person I had a single argument with for over 6 hours, once: where they vehemently stated that they would prefer to eat a steak that was purchased at Walmart over eating a freshly killed cow/having dinner with a farmer bc the USDA has ensured the product at Walmart is “safe”.

These are the scholastic achievers of our generation, our “experts.”

She has a very high ranking job for a very large company with plenty of employees under her.

Read this BIP proposing a “quantum-safe” Bitcoin upgrade.

Technically solid.

But it completely misses the point of Bitcoin.

Here’s why it clashes with Bitcoin’s core values:

1. It’s a hidden hard fork.

You can’t force everyone to migrate to new addresses without breaking backward compatibility. That’s not a soft fork, it’s a network split waiting to happen.

2. The quantum threat isn’t real yet.

There’s no serious evidence that quantum computers can break Bitcoin anytime soon. Planning for a sci-fi future while risking Bitcoin today? That’s not smart engineering.

3. It needs centralized coordination.

Who sets the migration deadline? Who enforces it? That’s not how Bitcoin works. We don’t take orders from a committee.

4. It puts real users at risk.

Think cold storage, lost wallets, or even deceased users. Forcing a cutoff means those coins are gone forever. That’s not a bug, it’s a feature of the proposal. And it’s reckless.

5. It forgets Bitcoin is money.

People rely on Bitcoin as a store of value. If the rules can suddenly make your coins unspendable, trust breaks. You don’t mess with monetary guarantees.

6. There are better, voluntary paths.

We can add #quantum -safe address types. Let people move over time, if and when they want to. No need to rush or force anyone.

Bottom line:

#Bitcoin ’s strength isn’t in “upgrading fast.”

It’s in being stable, opt-in, and hard to change.

This #BIP belongs in a test lab #Nostr, not in the protocol millions rely on for financial sovereignty.

I am so grateful to see your insight on this 🙏 You make a solid argument here

Good morning ☀️ How you doing this fine day MNicolas?

I hope the economy is born anew with the Bitcoin Standard in place embracing real capitalism, the free market, and laissez-faire.

I don’t see how that happens without the current economy showing its true colors: a bunch of illusory statements to justify wealth where there is no basis, by a bunch of meaningless paper fiat backed by the largest hegemony who supports it.

Good morning!

Thank you and I hope you do too ☀️

Pura Vida 🤙🏻

Take time to do the shit that you know you need to do 💪🏻

I’m confused why I’m seeing traditional news outlets talking more about Bitcoin and than my Nostr follows rn 🤔
