Is Batman your favorite superhero?
For those recently debating #Bitcoin vs. #Monero...
Bitcoin is the open protocol for all.
There is no debate with Bitcoin—its design is built on transparency and equal access. Anyone, anywhere, can freely access the source code, compile it, run it, and verify it. Every node on the Bitcoin network operates independently, enabling transactions on Layer-1 with trustless precision.
The question of block size? That’s just noise. Bitcoin’s foundation is consensus, not coercion, and its network thrives on honesty and mathematical certainty.
Each individual has the freedom to explore, research, and decide where they stand. Bitcoin’s evolution continually invites new minds to test, learn, and grow. The choice of where to focus attention and what to believe always lies with the individual.
Other systems, like Monero, may prioritize total anonymity, but true money isn’t meant to be completely hidden. Bitcoin balances transparency with security, offering an open and verifiable ledger. Its decentralized network ensures monetary policy and supply are visible and secure, backed by the energy it takes to protect it.
Bitcoin is a teacher. It rewards those who seek to understand, not just believe. As its network continues to expand, it welcomes everyone—students and skeptics alike.
There’s no debate, only choice. Bitcoin is open for you to explore.
BlackRock’s Fork is Just Another Fork—Not Bitcoin
The beauty of Bitcoin lies in its decentralization and consensus-driven network. No single entity—not even BlackRock with its immense fiat-based influence—can dictate what the majority of the network agrees upon.
A fork, regardless of who initiates it, cannot redefine Bitcoin. The Bitcoin network’s strength lies in its distributed nodes and miners, operating under transparent, immutable rules. Any attempt to centralize or co-opt it would be rejected by the vast majority who value its trustless, decentralized nature.
The claim that "everyone" might mistake a fork for Bitcoin misunderstands Bitcoin’s essence. Bitcoin isn’t a brand or a name—it’s the immutable protocol and the consensus that secures it. While fiat power can create noise, it cannot rewrite the underlying truth that Bitcoin’s resilience comes from its users, not centralized forces.
The network thrives because it resists coercion, not because it succumbs to it. Bitcoin remains Bitcoin—anything else is just another altcoin.

Stranger Things would be a good revisit for myself. Been a minute.
I can see thoughts, deep thoughts. Another image that can only be described with emotions. My apologies for my wrong guess 😄
A Nurse?
Robert Redford looks cool, but that would require a gender change. 😄 👽 💭
Two of my favs
Not awkward… wildly creative with what you have available. 😂
Imma Catwoman fan myself. Both costumes work 😇
As someone who learned yarning skills as a young lad from my mom, I truly appreciate the time, energy, creativity, and effort that go into it. Afghan blankets hold a special place in my heart—there’s nothing quite like their warmth and charm, especially draped across a sofa.

Now time for a power nap.

Alright, here’s your substance, as requested—though I’m sure the sats will stay holstered. Let’s break it down since you been absent for the past 15 years:
Bitcoin’s Design, Simplified for You
Bitcoin operates as a decentralized, peer-to-peer network built on proof-of-work consensus. Every transaction is verified and recorded in blocks by miners, who compete to solve computational puzzles. Once solved, blocks are added to the blockchain, an immutable, distributed ledger secured by cryptography.
Why It’s Immune to Hostile Attack
Decentralization:
No central authority exists to coerce, corrupt, or take down. Tens of thousands of nodes across the globe maintain and verify the network. Any attempt to alter the blockchain would require controlling over 51% of the network’s hash power—a feat so costly and complex it’s effectively impossible.
Proof-of-Work:
This mechanism makes attacks like double-spending infeasible. An attacker would need to outpace the entire network’s computational power to rewrite history, which would cost exponentially more energy than the rewards could justify.
Open Source and Transparency:
Bitcoin’s design is public and auditable by anyone. Its consensus rules are clear and enforced uniformly, meaning the network cannot be compromised without global agreement.
Economic Incentives:
Miners and participants have a vested interest in securing and maintaining the network’s integrity. Hostile actions would erode value, punishing the attacker more than anyone else.
So, there you have it—a brief, high-level overview of why Bitcoin’s design is as resilient as it is revolutionary.
Now, let’s see if your sats follow your words. And if not, no hard feelings; your challenge was payment enough. 😉⚡
Duet, you say? 🎤 Well, if this is a song, Bitcoin’s chorus has been on repeat for 15 years—decentralized, secure, and unstoppable. I’ll happily keep hitting the high notes while others try to harmonize with nonsense. 😉
Ah, deflection—the refuge of the unprepared. No need to glaze anything here, my friend. Facts don’t require theatrics, and Bitcoin’s design speaks louder than any posturing ever could. Fake it? Bitcoin already made it. Time to catch up.
Your claim might fly in the echo chambers of ignorance, but on NOSTR, where minds are sharp and the signal is strong, such folly doesn’t stand a chance. Bitcoin’s open-source brilliance and decentralized consensus are immune to the control fantasies of centralized players.
If you’re here to deceive, you’ll find NOSTR’s collective intelligence is far more than you can muster to fool. Bring substance next time—or don’t bring anything at all.
