Ordered my second picanha for Christmas.

Fat cap was 39% of the weight.

Is this common?

Already came in a couple pounds less than I asked for. Grateful we had few guests show up.

Ethereum has had quite the identity crisis over the years. 🍿

I still want a typography solution to the "cool S"

Tell me about your sailboat.

I'm still shopping, and I'd love to hear about yours.

I hope you're right.🤞

Not sure the BRCs need Bitcoin once they've been spun up.

If they "Premine" the full supply and sell them to greater fools on the secondary market.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to chase them off to shitcoin land.

But the hubris of a few.

Opinions of folks that don't code are not invalidated. That's genetic fallacy.

And humble ignorance seeking to understand is scoffed at.

Some devs: "that's just how it is, now we all have to live with it."

Same devs: "why are you standing ignorantly in obstinate defiance of my favorite BIP?"

Yeah. The tradeoffs is a grander phrase I've borrowed from Thomas Sowell. Evergreen in multiple disciplines.

But bug fix is a good characterization. 🤝

-Reasons why many of us drag our feet on new BIPs.

-Reasons to make sure our fix isn't worse than the problem.

I'm fine with technical if we take our time, and address the correct problem. (BRC-20, not jpegs. Though I have no love for the jpegs either.)

Let me be clear: I still think ordinal inscriptions are stupid, on all levels.

But there's a couple of folks I don't target, because they were artists that used a digital medium before the NFT and ordinal craze.

More importantly, the problem isn't jpegs - it's BRC-20 shitcoins.

Bitcoin is nearly 34 million 🌽🚀

(Argentine Pesos 😐)

Adam gives voice to a concern I was having:

"Doesn't this put me on the minority side of an eventual fork?"

I can't always articulate things well, but with great power comes great responsibility. Just because we CAN do something, doesn't mean that's the something we SHOULD do.

ALL code solutions must be considered very carefully.

I'm curious why Adam Back went to build CT on Liquid, rather than testnet.

He's not some official figurehead, he just did it, and his motivations/explanations might prove helpful.

Has he, or why not, tried to merge CT with core?

There are no solutions, only tradeoffs.

Code solutions often come with unintended consequences.

"just wait for the pump guys! As soon as the discount becomes a premium I'll pay you the money. See? I've got these IOUs right here, that's practically as good as money"

There's a similar line in the Hobbit, which I find myself diving into again.

(Audiobook at the moment.)

Merry Christmas to my frens that celebrate. 🎄

My humble two sats on the ordinal-relayed fee situation:

"I said FRESH. You holding out on me cookie man. You smell delicious."

Everything looks like a nail when you're a hammer. 🤷

Your link says 2020 terms.

The screenshot I saw was referring to 2024.

But I came to read yours because:

Don't trust; verify. 🤝

Thank you 🙏

And thanks for pointing out the Sophon!
