If you knew nothing about Bitcoin and saw this advertisement for the biggest Bitcoin conference in the world

What would you think Bitcoin is about?

Golly, it does remind me of someone.

If the Revolution happened today, Republicans would have sided with the British.

hehe what else could it be called I wonder … maybe it’s called that because when you get it, you tend to feel easily cold.

We live in an age where folks like to live in black and white realities

Where far too many can’t separate criticism of a political system or leader, like a particular admin’s approach to war in Gaza (which I vehemently disagree with israel policies btw!) from then being outright antisemitic

I have some new theories on why antisemitism is all of a sudden very in on the modern left. Far too many view the Jewish people, and Jews in America, as having “made it” and many growing in wealth and influence. Truly living the American dream after horrendous realities in the early twentieth century (that still very much persist today with antisemitism

Many on the left find their antisemitism acceptable because they view Jews as the “oppressor” now, and many with vast wealth and influence. That is fucked up!

I’ll never understand this hatred for those who have done well for themselves after great hardship. I am not ok with this outright hatred of the American dream.

I don’t think they want to use it for social programs. They don’t want social programs and the reason is not they can’t afford them. So I think this is why the right is more supportive.

I caught a cold in May.

How the hell do you catch a cold in May?

A self imposed problem from spinning up ordinals, runes, brc20 tokens and inscriptions. These shitcoiners are acting like they have bitcoin hostage trying to force their stance and preferences on ALL core node runners.

There entire argument is that people can go to a miner and do these type of limitless OP_RETURN tx out of band so we should make it easier for everyone to do it by broadcasting these types of tx right to the mempool. But they also want to remove the option to set a limit.

Using there same logic one could say people can avoid the limitless OP_RETURN by running an older version of core or with knots. So we should remove OP_RETURN (set it to false) completely because “people can do that already”

Bitcoin Core removing limits on the OP_RETURN size will be remembered as the end of Bitcoin as we know it. It will be the birth of a ethereumized version of Bitcoin. This will ultimately lead to centralization of node runners and the end to p2p money.

This movies slaps!

Are you paying attention? You probably

I don't know which side I am on in this Bitcoin OP_RETURN debate.

All I want is for people to be nice to each other while debating on the merits.

Pretty low bar, I know.

Thanks. I am a bit weary of it as some time ago it was calling home and sharing some _metrics_ (default settings) without even notifying users. However, I can't give the source of this info now.

I am not sure if I am following the “wrong” crowd, but my feed is not full of Bitcoin talk. I know from the resent experience that at least Primal allows you to choose your interests and adjust the follows accordingly. I think other clients do that too, although I haven’t tried new key onboarding recently. I think Nostr can give that impression for sure, so we still have some ways to go! LFG then, what are you waiting for! 😂🚀🚀🚀
