Abundance is the natural state.

It takes deliberate interference to create scarcity.

Throughout history, human innovation has driven abundance:

We’ve learned how to grow more food, build better tools, generate cleaner energy, and connect across the world. Progress should mean more for everyone.

But our economic system doesn’t reflect that.

It siphons wealth upward, devalues time, and rewards extraction over creation.

Why?

Because the money is broken.

We use a currency that loses value over time *by design.

A system built on debt, inflation, and manipulation must create artificial scarcity to survive.

It punishes savers, distorts prices, and forces endless growth at the expense of sustainability.

You work harder. You get less.

Not because of failure, but because the rules are rigged.

Bitcoin fixes this.

Bitcoin isn’t controlled by governments or banks.

It can’t be printed, inflated, or weaponized.

It’s money with rules. Not rulers.

With Bitcoin, value can’t be diluted.

You keep what you earn. You build on a solid foundation.

It restores the link between effort, savings, and real progress.

When money is honest, innovation compounds.

We stop plugging holes in a leaking system, and start building toward real abundance again.

8 hours later I actually know now how bitchat works (not every part yet but most of it). it's pretty nifty: every phone is a BLE server and a BLE client at the same time. the app optimistically connects to peers that it can find through a scan. all messages it receives are relayed to all other connections.

I've tried it with a chain of 4 phones each connecting to only their next peer and the message propagates like a lightning payment from one phone to another.

need to implement message chunking (the protocol already defines it but there's no working implementation lol. it's strange because an LLM came up with it but it didn't implement it on neither ios nor android

Still looking quite tame on the log chart.

Log chart verticality is when the real fun begins.

fuck I got nerd-sniped by jack

There are about 6000 public companies on Wall Street.

Only about 60 of them own more than 100 BTC.

That's 1% of them.

Just saying.

Relays are already stateful. Every subscription is. Filters size shouldn't be that bad IMO. Maybe a few kb per sub?

yo anybody still out there?

“Bitcoin banks” aka “Cashu Mints” today.

I hope there will be more (prunable) op returns in a year and fewer fake signatures. Is that not what you would hope?

Growth in OP_RETURN usage doesn’t prove your point at all, Jimmy.

You should want more usage of OP_RETURN instead of the witness data or bare multisig outputs. It’s simply less harmful.

The Bitcoin Dev mailing list has lots of middle school in-group, out-group dynamics right now.
