What makes Bitcoin what it is, is any changes to the code or protocol are in the hands of not only the miners, not only in the hands of the node runners, but in the hands of the HODLers themselves. To believe Blackrock's act of forking is going to destroy Bitcoin is to taint the definition of bitcoin itself. Running more nodes than everyone else doesn't change it, the code enforces the protocol. Sure Blackrock could theoretically run 95% of the miners and thereby press a protocol change, but this is still a different chain, different code. Adding retirement-capital to make NGU to a chain with more miners still doesn't change bitcoin, it only swindles everyone's retirement account using the blackrock "bitcoin" chain. Blackrock could convince most people they hold bitcoin on their shitcoin chain, but they won't and then, watch --- out. Blackrock would be the next FTX.

You think core devs would agree to it. That's ridiculous.

They represent us far better than politicians.

I'm just gonna call it FUD, and also, idgaf about the usd. 1sat = 1sat

Have fun worrying about the sky falling and basing this on the acorn that fell on your head...

visit the Orb or the Orb will visit you

As soon as the purchasing power of 1 sat is more than a penny, the usefulness of the lightning network for micropayments diminishes significantly.

Which motive?

Tattoos. What do you think about tattoos? Who has tattoos? And which ones?

Neither do people rush to accept BIPs let alone PRs.

There is a whole slew of heuristics already used by Bitcoin core p2p code to react to known malicious or erroneous behavior.

The net result is that every node written to recognise some part of this hypothetical large scale attack will already auto blacklist any number of peers not following protocol.

The social response is something else, but 1tb and larger ssds are so cheap now... And you can sync Core in ender 12 hours on 100mbit or faster connections.

Alert me and mine will be back online the next day.

This is second day reminder. I am alerted. No surprise UASF tyvm.

Tomorrow.

#Bitcoin is money. Fiat is credit.

She seems like fun!

i try my best to tag; its an adjustment coming from a site that censored

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Apparently all black cars look alike.
