TheStrat is a price‑action framework by Rob Smith that reduces charts to three candle “scenarios” (1=inside, 2=directional, 3=outside), then trades their combinations with time‑frame continuity and broadening formations for objective entries/exits.
Born from Smith’s decades in markets, TheStrat spread via social media and livestreams, emphasizing alignment across monthly/weekly/daily opens and pattern triggers like 2-1-2, 3-1-2, and 1-2-2 reversals to catch expansions out of consolidation.
Core pillars: time‑frame continuity (FTC), broadening formations, and actionable signals; traders scan for full alignment, set entries above/below prior bar ranges, and target prior highs/lows within the broadening structure.
Why it resonates: rules are clear, indicator‑light, multi‑asset, and community‑driven; it teaches when not to trade (discontinuity) and when to press when FTC and scenario triggers stack in the same direction.
Iconic combos: 2-2 reversal to flip direction, 2-1-2 continuation after an inside pause, 3-1-2 to resolve an outside bar and expand the broadening range; risk is managed against the signal bar with targets at prior pivots.
If ‘freedom’ had a footnote: terms and conditions apply — ceasefire not included. US vetoes Gaza truce while others say yes and aid starvation mounts.
Abolish #statism starting from the permanant members of the UN.
⚡️🇺🇸🇺🇳 NEW - The U.S vetoes another UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire, the release of hostages, and an end to Israel’s aid restrictions that have caused famine in Gaza.

The U.S. loves bombing in the name of "democracy," but when literally every other country at the UN calls to stop the Gaza bloodbath, guess who's the lone veto? That's right — America: spreading freedom one war at a time, but blocking peace when it actually counts. Maybe “democracy” just means “my way or the highway (to hell).
Bitcoin is the result of 40 years of research, development and demand.
Saylor was right not to fund devs.

Thankfully, Knots’ rejection of the Op_Return increase is a “healthy response” to Core v30’s overreach.

Imperatives for a Free-Market Anarchist Society
1. Recognize the principle of absolute self-ownership, securing each person’s control over their body and legitimately acquired property through voluntary exchange, homesteading, or contract.
2. Abolish all forms of coercive taxation and enforced redistribution; only voluntary contributions or contracts should fund goods and services.
3. Uphold and protect private property rights: Individuals and associations can own, use, and transfer property — including productive assets and capital goods — via voluntary means.
4. Enable individuals and local communities to organize and finance public infrastructure (such as roads, security, utilities) on a voluntary, stakeholder basis, so participation reflects actual use and support, not compulsory extraction.
5. Require stakeholder participation and voting rights in any capital venture, infrastructure, or collective enterprise. Voting power is derived from actual invested stake or voluntary membership, not geographic accident or state decree.
6. Foster unhampered free trade — permit the free exchange of goods, services, and capital across borders and boundaries without regulatory barriers, tariffs, or monopolistic restrictions.
7. Secure local security and order via cooperative, private, or neighborhood-based defense and dispute resolution; ensure these entities are accountable to and funded by direct stakeholders, not external authorities.
8. Encourage transparency, open access, and participatory governance in any shared resource or infrastructure, letting direct users decide rules and access policies proportionate to their voluntary contribution or ownership.
9. Affirm freedom of association and secession: any individual or group may exit infrastructural, economic, or security arrangements at any time, taking their stake and property without penalty beyond contractual obligations.
10. Promote capital formation and public goods through bottom-up, opt-in mechanisms — cooperatives, DAOs, private contract pools, or other voluntary, distributed models aligned with technical and cryptoeconomic best practices.
These steps align with a sovereignty-first, open-source, and voluntarily networked approach to social order, property, and mutual provisioning.
Rely on the state, inherit the fate.
If you're suggesting Bitcoin chain db will grow exponentially and this will make it harder for plebs to run a full node, it is only befitting to highlight that you can't fill up a block more than it is allowed by the protocol, and you can't have a block coming in faster than the 10min average.
There's no fundamental difference in the perception of people when it comes to basic human rights. It's the state indoctrination that later manifests in the perceived polarities of views.

That's how chargebacks are done. You're repeating what i said but with more words.
How is that possible ? The only real risk with all these DEXs is chargéback.
You can't be critisizing the perpetrators. This has been the case for like forever.
> Have you intentionally left out the UTXO bloat part?
I am only aware of one protocol that stores meaningful amounts of data in outputs (Stamps), and they have openly said that they do so in order that the data cannot be pruned. "Inviting" those people specifically to use op_returns -- i.e. the very people who have said they don't want it -- seems like a poor reason to relax the filters. Instead, it seems like it will just invite more op_return spam by people who previously wouldn't have done it at all.
> what about miners taking the junk txs directly from the issuers?
Miners who include privately-submitted transactions in their blocks have a higher orphan rate, because the rest of the network propagates that block more slowly than blocks containing only publicly-known transactions, as nodes have to download/validate the privately-submitted transactions, which were not already in their mempools. The extra time they spend doing so gives that miner's competitors more time to mine/propagate a competing block at the same blockheight. This is part of why private mempools typically charge a higher rate: the extra cost compensates for the risk of losing money through an orphaned block.
Widespread mempool filters thus modify the economic incentives that apply to miners: they can certainly receive filtered transactions via a private mempool service, but their incentive is to make it cost more (which is what we antispam people want), and they may even refuse to do it altogether if it causes too many orphaned blocks. E.g. we saw Mara Pool and CKPool both stop mining subsat transactions because doing so increased their orphan rate too high.

This is part of why I celebrate more widespread filters. It means spammers are more likely to use private mempools, which raises their costs, and results in more orphans for spam-friendly miners. Both of those are good things that I want to see more of.
Unlike most here with deep tech knowledge, this guy has the rare attribute of giving good reasoning behind his views without being an ass.

That answer satisfies my curiosity. That's why you're one of my favorite dudes around here. Cheers.
This is excellent, Super!
Best dude arpund.
That's a precedent that will only multiply if propagation path remains scarce; meanwhile, junk hype cannot sustain itself by constantly outbidding standard use case. I'm as anti-junk as you but I try to look at things objectively.
Filters provide greedy miners that put profits above Bitcoin's network health an edge — that's the real attack vector worth everyone's attention.
Thanks for the reply.
What about just running v29 with my own limits? Isn't that practically the same thing?
An outstanding job — having an alternative that is decentralized is imperative, and the work that goes towards this end is priceless.

Hypocrites.
This is like claiming there's no risk/reward. For negligent upside and exceeding risks, they might choose not to. If most chooses not to, the propagation path remains limited, as currently. These are just possible scenarios, you might be correct to bet on human greed.
I understand there's a need to relax the data carrier limits for new use cases but opening it up to the max block size seems like an overshoot. I want to retain the optionality, though I understand that, after block confirmation, my node will end up storing the data that guys like yourself relayed to the miners. It's a catch 22.

Regardless of what you choose, if limits are lifted and people run Core 30, let's say 5% of nodes run the latest version (you can fill up one block with one jpeg) they will relay that tx, and if it gets confirmed by a miner, your node will have it. That's what is meant by "we'll rape your node".
Just don't upgrade to the latest version, run 29.0.0 and set your own limits. Those who will run 30 are responsible for their choices and we can't do much about it except choosing not to run it. That's it.

If you made critical decisions this way at your job, you would be fired on the spot. Well, assuming you don’t work for the CDC. That said, these ghouls , as the former head of the CDC Mandy Cohen reveals in this video, shut down society, forced kids to wear masks, shut down schools and forced the clot shots on folks just because they could. This is the kind of decision making that gave us everything from the food pyramid to 2% inflation targeting.
No rhyme or reason or science just a dumb bored bureaucrat itching to control your life by wielding diabolical mandates. Big gvt breeds closeted tyrants like Mandy Cohen and hands them power to determine what medications your kids are injected with. Is that what you signed up for anon?

Predictable dilution is still dilution, it just comes with a calendar invite. Calling it “not inflation” because it’s steady is like claiming rain doesn’t get you wet if it’s in the forecast.
Monero’s fixed emission shields against fee uncertainty, but every new coin still chips away at existing holders’ share. That’s a tradeoff, not a free lunch, and dressing it up as “sustainable” doesn’t change the arithmetic.
Both models make bets: one on trust in economic incentives, the other on perpetual issuance. Let’s just call dilution what it is, even if it arrives right on schedule.
