₿itcoin has so many personal cycles you have to go through.
First you spend your time checking the charts every minute after your first purchase. It drops and you wonder if you’ve done the right thing.
Second you give yourself price guides “when it gets to this number I can buy this or that”
Third you decide to study a bit so you read arguably the most important books nostr:nprofile1qqsg86qcm7lve6jkkr64z4mt8lfe57jsu8vpty6r2qpk37sgtnxevjcpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgcwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8xmn0wf6zuum0vd5kzmq3v5m00 “The Price Of Tomorrow” nostr:npub1d3f4m9dgvkdjxn26pqzsxn6lpfn78sxwllxyt8mp76q0a9zyyjlswhr4xv “The Big Print”

Fourth you buy more ₿itcoin because you think you’ve finally got “it”.
Fifth you watch the volatility in fiat and you have conviction but flick mentally between the fiat price and what you can do with it and the offering of freedom.
Then……something shifts, ₿itcoin forces you to look inside yourself and you see yourself for the first time. Which in turn reveals what ₿itcoin has been trying to show you all along.
This isn’t just a financial shift this is a once in a lifetime upgrade for the human species through the lense of ₿itcoin. But ultimately through the lense of discovering you for the very first time in your life.
That’s where the freedom comes from.
It was always spiritual, the change was always coming and it is beautiful.
It’s all love.

Mamma mia!
Do Core's supporters support this crap?

BS
Bitcoin > gold > silver > etc
Bitcoin is money not data storage no matter who says what. Run knots
I bet you didn't know you can hand feed tits.

It's real?
ZeroSentinel is a small device you build and control. A doorway back into your own network. A resolver that answers to you and no one else. A canary that screams when something breaks instead of leaving you blind.

Interesting but I need some time to learn all the technical language first
70k first for 90% sure. After hitting the bottom around September 2026 when the soft fork will be done, the bull will start again.

A heck of a lot of FUD going around right now trying to take your coins “quantum is coming and will send bitcoin to zero” “core is compromised better get out while you can” “the bear market is here better sell before it gets worse” “Bitcoin can not scale and has zero privacy better swap it for zcash” “the cost to mine a bitcoin is way higher than the current market price of bitcoin” “Saylor is about to get liquidated better sell before that happens” “ Jeffery Epstein is Satoshi Nakamoto”
So much noise the signal remains the same
Stay humble and stack sats
Like nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs says hodling is like having a knife fight in a phone booth
Just self-custody in coldcard and run knots. Simple
Bitcoin is money not data storage that is the only thing really matter
Sorry that's not gonna happen except 2

Bitcoin doesn't care about his opinion
Core 30 is way more dangerous than his thoughts
read “The Fiat Standard” nostr:nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgppamhxue69uhkumewwd68ytnrwgq3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xw02ehw8 which is my economic textbook
Freedom is illegal. Freedom always comes with trade offs.
Total Orwellian control over the world doesn’t stop criminals. It only empowers the worst ones.
Framing the conversation as if governments have jurisdiction over your nodes means you’ve already lost the plot.
“If you don’t do this then they will ban it”
The whole entire thing is noncompliant. The whole point of Bitcoin is to route around the state without direct violent confrontation.
Of course it empowers the worst type of people as well. But governments spend very little time and energy handling the worst kind of people because they are made up of them.
They steal, they murder, they abuse children, and they tell you where you can’t smoke.
The trade offs of freedom are worth it.
Anyone starting the conversation with how node operators need to out comply the state is not being helpful. Despite what PODCONF says, compliance is not defiance.
If you have an ounce of dignity, you need to be comfortable with understanding you are an outlaw.

k run knots anyway
I see way too many people on Nostr that are still confused about the Core vs Knots debate. This is a tl;dr for them. If a longer explanation is needed, they should go over the website below.
tl;dr:
SegWit introduced the witness discount, that ended up making junk data up to 75% cheaper, which opened the door for arbitrary data-carrying transactions to directly compete with monetary transactions for blockspace. In practice, that ended up being an unintended de facto subsidy for spam.
Taproot then provided a way for inscriptions to sidestep the old datacarriersize filter, which is why the UTXO set exploded from around 4 GB in 2023 to nearly 12 GB by 2025, putting real strain on low-end node hardware.
Meanwhile, the Core devs’ reaction has been pathetic — hand-waving it away for two whole years as “free market dynamics” or saying that fixing the exploit is considered “controversial”. At the same time they did a stealth documentation change to pretend the broken filter is “working as intended”. nostr:nprofile1qqs8ha7ms0mny284ma46xjzf72hel42t74jmtttf3trssfymxyq8ngqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3gamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wdau8gu3wv3jhv72x8mv caught them red handed, but instead of apologising for hiding it, they claimed that changing the documentation is a valid way for fixing bugs.
Now they’re doubling down their efforts “to fight spam” they willingly allowed by gutting another spam filter (OP_RETURN) that has worked for 11 years, and helped keep 99.9% of all OP_RETURNs at or under 80 bytes. Larger payloads were possible, but never at the absurd size of 100 KB in a single output.
Core v30, due in early October, will raise the default limit to 100 KB (an 1200x increase), which makes it trivial to upload entire malware files or worse straight into the chain. This isn’t hypothetical — when BSV made the same change in 2019, it was immediately hit with child p[]rn.
The legal and practical fallout for Bitcoin node operators, especially those on cloud infrastructure, hasn’t even begun to be fully grasped.
All these absurd and rushed decisions raise the obvious questions: why push this change through despite massive pushback; who stands to profit from it; and why are the real risks of this happening being ignored or swept under the rug?
Good summary ✌️

Almost 20 years ago and nothing has changed and everything this man said has been proven true over and over again.
“We bomb them endlessly and then wonder why they are mad at us.”
It’s funny, I’ve had a few friends and family members who are legitimately concerned now that we could be in danger. That “what if we get bombed?”
And all I can think is that entire generations in the Middle East have grown up with this fear as a permanent part of their lives. They never knew a time, in a dozen countries, in which they didn’t have to wonder “what if we get bombed?”
What do you think that does to a culture? What do you think that does to their view of the west and Israel? After 50 years how could you *not* think that the US deserved to be destroyed? What else do they even know?
None of this is confusing. These are the stupidly obvious and self evident results of the bullshit our govts have been engaged in.
