So are we finally gonna find out who killed Tupac?
Itās hard to tell if Roger Ver is a scammer, or a victim of many scams. Perhaps he is the most malicious liar in Bitcoin history.
I donāt really care. He says everyone should hold their own keys, privacy is important, and Bitcoin can destroy the central banks.
This is the message of Bitcoin. If Roger is using this message to scam shitcoiners, I donāt care. The message is far more important than the messenger.
Michael Saylor does not like this message. His message is that Bitcoin needs to separate itself from the cypherpunks.
The big blockers were right about one thing. Big blocks are far less centralizing than KYC custodial lightning.
Listen to nostr:npub12qz56plzehejkyp4waaannmnny4y4c30j8q55a3wlk49haslga2snypdx8 interview Roger and decide for yourself. Maybe you hate cypherpunks too. Whatever, Bitcoin is for enemies. When we have drivechains, everyone will come back to the real Bitcoin anyway.

Roger tells you to hold your keys, but that running a node isnāt important.
Heās a fraud and no better than Michael Saylor.
The bitcoin blocksize limit.
Bitcoinās current blocksize limit is 4MB, which means the blockchain grows at about 200 GB per year.
Whenever someone syncs a brand new bitcoin node, they must download and verify every single block in bitcoinās history, dating back to the Genesis Block.
The faster the blockchain grows, the harder it is to sync a full node, meaning fewer and fewer people do it, and eventually the blockchain is only run a handful of small entities (Google, NSA, etc.) in centralized data centers.
The big blockers (Roger Ver, Craig Wright, etc.) wanted to raise, and perhaps even eliminate the blocksize limit altogether. Over the long run, this would be a disaster of epic proportions and lead to the failure of bitcoin altogether.
Itās arrogance.
Yeah, thereās something weird going on with Okung where he wants to act like heās smarter than all the bitcoiners that have been here and doing this for a long time.
Most bitcoin wallets show:
123,456,789 sats
Simple and clear. No confusing spaces. No need to mentally shift decimal places.
Why not just do it normally, like practically every other bitcoin wallet? Or at least let us switch formats to what we like?
Sats denomination, please. š

I heard a rumor that he hasnāt even read The Mandibles.
Wow, those really were the good olā days.
How did people pay for gasoline before credit cards? Did you seriously have to go inside and pay the cashier every single time?!?
Bitcoin mining will gravitate to Russia, Venezuela and Iran.
Hackathons are generally vanity projects that go nowhere.
Itās crazy how many new bitcoin influencers have come out of the woodwork to do the podcast rounds in the last year.
Jack is donating to stuff like OpenSats, which has much greater long term impact.
Be so cringe, itās actually kinda based.
