I commented on this on DedBird 21 days ago, telling Antpool to get their shit together.

At that point, they had 5 of 8 empty blocks in a 21 day period.

Now they've got 14 of 18 empty blocks in the most recent 21 days.

No matter how the moronic ordinal situation is eventually resolved:

- the grifters will take credit for ANY benefit or strengthening to Bitcoin.

Don't let them. They're just filling their pockets.

Elizabeth Warren:

Campaigns on protecting consumers from bank shenanigans.

Ends up running protectionism for bank money-laundering.

Those "safety net" programs are so diabolical.

"Oh look, you managed to save a small emergency fund? Here, let me cut the benefits you were relying on."

Never the "hand up" they promise in the sales pitch. 😟

We lost so much nuance to history.

This is what fiat took from us.

In related news, Bitcoin open interest:

CME dethroned Binance for the number 1 slot.

FTX gone. 🚫

Binance descending. 📉

Me too.

I reached out, but I'm sure nobody's monitoring it.

Tried to invite them to Nostr.

I miss the BITMEX Rekt bot.

We used to be able to see the shorts and longs get liquidated real-time.

This from a year ago:

Vote harder. They'll keep their promises.

Paintball canisters. Cheap brass adapter available.

She wants to make sure I'm not trafficking them in my urine.

It's a little like making sure the urine is really mine.

That's surprisingly believable. 🤝

Some people on DedBird take themselves WAAAY too seriously.

You got Paul Krugman's fax number?

Feels like more worth my time than a ballot box too.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

My view on the trustworthiness of voting,

and even the abdication of my authority to those that countermand my wishes continue to diminish over time.

But I absolutely filled this out. 🤝

I will always have to interact with the state, and I will always look for ways to minimize it's impact on my life.

I'm taking my note a step further from earlier.

Social solutions should definitely continue to be implemented against ordinal scammers.

-call out the Fugazi for what it is.

-educate the retail morons buying "the Brooklyn bridge."

-shame those behind the grift.

-shame those that helped amplify it, if you can't reason with them.

The better your understanding, the better you can articulate the situation.

But remember, it's easier to fool people than convince them they've been fooled.

We will be merciless to those that were complicit without repentance. Woe to those that align themselves to this scam.

Eunuchswap 🤣🤣

Just because ordinals are allegedly "popular" doesn't mean they are signal worth broadcasting/amplifying.

Just because ordinals are spam/graffiti/attack/grift doesn't mean the require a code solution, let alone a rushed one.

My two sats.
