At the end of the day....

Another reason is that a lot of people use primal and the way comments are displayed on primal is ...not ideal

My #bitcoin journey began embarrassingly a long time ago. As a very online person and somewhat advanced in years, I was a lurker on the early Bitcoin talk forum. I was at the time fairly non technical. I tried to get mining to work but as I had just figure out how to install Linux it was beyond me. I promptly ignore it for a couple more years. During this time I felt the cognitive dissonance of the idea of bitcoin and my reality the entire time. I was actively a bit upset that Bitcoin existed, it’s hard to explain but I was weirdly angry.

In about 2013 or 14 I got interested again and was a regular on the Bitcoin subreddit. The only smart thing I did during that time was to take a 0.1467 bitcoin tip I received and send it to cold storage. It was the only tip I managed to save from that period and it’s pretty insane when I think about the wealth I left on that account. Every other action I took during that period resulted in less bitcoin today.

I made countless other mistakes with trading, key management, exchange hacks, and eventually shitcoin buying. But since I still have the private keys to that Reddit tip I stashed away I’m not a complete idiot.

I have since transitioned my entire world view to a bitcoin standard. Sadly it took me far too long. I am playing catch up.

Now I DCA weekly via strike and am building my self custody stash. When I exit the fiat system entirely I hope it’s because I am spending my days pushing Bitcoin forward in a meaningful way.

You got humbled my g

The Pattern Never Changes…

JFK. 9/11. Trump’s shooting. Charlie Kirk’s assassination. The same script plays out every time: initial confusion, conflicting narratives, institutional investigations that raise more questions than answers, and decades of unresolved mysteries.

We’ll never get real answers because the system isn’t designed to provide them. It’s designed to manage narratives and protect power structures. The Charlie Kirk case will follow the exact same trajectory. Official story, holes in the narrative, citizen investigators finding inconsistencies, and eventual memory holing.

This isn’t incompetence. It’s the inevitable result of centralized information control meeting institutional self preservation.

The brutal reality: Every major event becomes a “mystery” because institutions have zero incentive to provide clarity that might implicate themselves or their networks. Gatekeepers get captured, algorithms get gamed, authorities get bought. The system isn’t broken, it’s working exactly as designed.

Institutions failed because centralization always fails. The solution isn’t better institutions, it’s no institutions.

What works: Cryptography. Economic incentives. Distributed verification. Permissionless innovation.

What doesn’t: Asking nicely. Voting harder. Constitutional amendments. Official investigations.

Citizens doing frame by frame analysis of grainy footage aren’t conspiracy theorists, they’re applying cryptographic thinking to media forensics because it’s more epistemologically sound than trusting captured institutions.

Stop trying to fix the machine. Build a better one. Make verification so cheap that lies become economically impossible.

The future is peer to peer. Everything else is legacy infrastructure waiting to be routed around.

6% is cheaper than cap gains... But that's none of my buisness

The only way it makes sense is if you think they are inciting division which is... pretty much what to expect

Yes this is true. however, Pricy books like guitars and other collectibles hold their value and can appreciate. The first expensive book I bought was 100 dollars now is going for 400.

he said:

"When I first switch to Knots someone I know from Nostr who had run an ethereum validator in the past told me the same stuff you and JB have been saying. I asked him why he stopped running his validator and he said the storage got to big. I said thank you and thought the discussion was over. He still didn’t understand so explained to him like a 5 year old.

If the blockchain gets to big to fast no one will run it expect for Feds, Institutions, and spammers and Bitcoin will fully evolve into Bit Suit. "

So I don't think I'm conflating anything. I'm just responding to what was said. From reading this it sounds like disk space is the issue which is what I asked for clarification on and again it's sounding like a "yes".

He also said

"Core is aligned with Ethereum people like J Slopp."

Which is... Pretty funny honestly. And accurate.

I think I get it. Disk space is one large issue but the bigger picture is worrying that Bitcoin becomes ethereum. If that is the issue I'm not so worried about that either because ethers original sin was being premined, then it was the dao rollback demonstrating it's mutability and lack of centralization, and final nail in the coffin was proof of work. (And not to mention of course selling out to jp Morgan).

Bitcoin has none of that baggage and to think it's going to turn into eth overnight by removing an irrelevant field seems way overblown. I can name dozens more reasons why that would never happen but that would take all day. Imma touch some grass

That is a non sequitur. Luke got social engineered and lost millions of dollars. He no longer has a financial motivation for bitcoins success.

He ran to the feds... They have a channel now.

Not impossible they didn't make a deal. Luke goes on their payroll, Luke gets the chance to get even with those who did him dirty. Feds splinter the Bitcoin movement like they do everytime. This is the playbook. The whole division runs on the twitter outrage algorithm. Knots resort to specious ramblings, appeals to base emotions, paranoia and fear. For someone who is so obsessed with the feds you have a big fat blind spot right in front of you.

I do support people's right to chose that's why I run an older version of core. Is switching protocols somehow going to magically solve human greed and incompetence?

Holy hell the new amethyst is the tits!

Sure..., btw Epstein was killed while Trump was president and the extremely sketchy William Barr was attorney general. Look up the Alex Acosta- Epstein saga if you don't know about that.

YOU! Can Do BURNING MAN AT HOME

by - Kal Spelletich

1. Pay an escort of your affectional preference subset to not bathe for five days, cover themselves in glitter, dust, and sunscreen, wear a skanky neon wig, dance close to naked, then say they have a lover back home at the end of the night.

2. Tear down your house. Put it in a truck. Drive 10 hours in any direction. Put the house back together. Invite everyone you meet to come over and party. When they leave, follow them back to their homes, drink all their booze, and break things.

3. Stack all your fans in one corner of the living room. Put on your most fabulous outfit. Turn the fans on full blast. Dump the contents of a vacuum cleaner bag in front of them.

4. Buy a new set of expensive camping gear. Break it.

5. Only use the toilet in a house that is at least 3 blocks away. Drain all the water from the toilet. Only flush it every 3 days. Hide all the toilet paper.

6. Set your house thermostat so it's 50 degrees for the first hour of sleep and 100 degrees the rest of the night.

7. Before eating any food, drop it in a sandbox and lick a battery.

8. Spend thousands of dollars and several months of your life building a deeply personal art work. Hide it in a funhouse on the edge of the city. Hire people to come by and alternate say "I love it" and "this sucks". Blow it up.

9. Set up a DJ system downwind of a three alarm fire. Play a short loop of drum'n'bass until the embers are cold.

10. Make a list of all the things you'll do different next year. Never look at it.

11. Have a 3 a.m. soul baring conversation with a drag nun in platforms, a crocodile and Bugs Bunny. Be unable to tell if you're hallucinating. Lust after Bugs Bunny.

12. Cut, burn, electrocute, bruise, and sunburn various parts of your body. Forget how you did it. Don't go to a doctor.

13. "Downsize" last year's camp by adding two geodesic domes, a new sound system, art car, and 20 newbies.

14. Don't sleep for 5 days. Take a wide variety of hallucinogenic/emotion altering drugs. Pick a fight with your boyfriend/girlfriend.

15. Spend a whole year rummaging through thrift stores for the perfect, most outrageous costume. Forget to pack it.

16. Shop at Wal-mart, CostCo, and Home Depot until your car is completely packed with stuff. Tell everyone that you're going to a "Leave-No-Trace" event. Empty your car into a dumpster.

17. Read "Dhalgren" by Samuel R. Delany. Read "The City Not Long After" by Pat Murphy. Cut off the bindings, throw all the pages up in the air and shuffle them back together. Reread "The City After Dhalgren" by Samuel Murphy. Burn it. Read the ashes.

18. Listen to music you hate for 168 hours straight, or until you think you are going to scream. Scream. Realize you'll love the music for the rest of your life.

19. Spend 5 months planning a "theme camp" like it's the invasion of Normandy. Spend Monday-Wednesday building the camp. Spend Thurs-Sunday nowhere near camp because you're sick of it or can't find it.

20. Walk around your neighborhood and knock on doors until someone offers you cocktails and dinner.

21. Bust your ass for a "community." See all the attention get focused on the drama queen crybaby.

22. Get so drunk you can't recognize your own house. Walk slowly around the block for 5 hours.

23. Tell your boss you aren't coming to work this week but he should "gift" you a paycheck anyway. When he refuses accuse him of not loving the "community".

25. Search alleys until you find a couch so unbelievably tacky and nasty filthy that a state college frat house wouldn't want it. Take a nap on the couch and sleep like you are king of the world.

26. Ask your most annoying neighbor to interrupt your fun several times a day with third hand gossip about every horrible thing that's happened in the last 24 hours. Have them wear khaki.

27. Go to a museum. Find one of Salvador Dali's more disturbing, but beautiful paintings. Climb inside it.
