Time for a soft fork, or nah?

Resist digital ID.

Do not comply with digital IDs! No matter the consequences. They are coming for us fast.

Trust me, it's not a disheartening as a bunch of arrogant devs sabotaging bitclin for personal gain.

Lopp, what do you make of Mechanic's and Kratter's fear that CSAM on the blockchain opens bitcoin to attack from critics? If this is the case, even your investments in citrea would be harmed, no?

What are you running on your node, Walker?

I think Saylor's axiom applies to 99% of us, certainly to me. He's not a hero but he's definitely smarter than me. Successful traders are few and far between. Certainly appreciate the idea of engaging with things because they are hard to succeed at and thus provide a test. For me that's archery elk hunting. Single digit success rate, but there are those that are able to find success year after year.

I wish you'd put aside your personal profit from jeopardizing bitcoin's future.

How many sats per query?

Willy is far from bitcoin's sharpest mind. "Trading bitcoin is a sign of lesser intellect" - Saylor

Just had my lightbulb moment on how cool ecash is gonna be for a freedom/privacy/bitcoin maxi. Stoked.

Fuck citrea and fuck the devs catering to shitcoiners. Bitcoin is the life raft humanity needs, how could you be willing to open it up to attacks?

Bitcoin core devs are digging their heels in on the wrong side of history.

How many sats per query?

The future is digital, deflationary, and decentralized. The future is bright!

You're on the wrong side of history Lopp. Hope it benefits your individual situation handsomely..

Why are the core devs choosing the wrong side of history?

Haven't been on in a while. Is the opposite return debate old news? Not seeing commentary in my feed. Y'all running knots now? Why would we want our nodes relaying images on our pristine monetary network?

I'm not so sure how inevitable it is that people realize bitcoin is a superior store of value. Like George Carlin said (approx): "Think of how stupid the average person is, and then consider, that half of people are even dumber than that".

I think bitcoiners lose sight of how much knowledge is required to see through the matrix / understand bitcoin fully.

What may be more likely is that Blackrock, which I understand owns an alarming percentage of U.S. really estate, continues to see outsized returns in bitcoin and pivots their allocations accordingly.

I wish it weren't so, but I've just got so little faith in the little guys consumed by their bread and circus and cherry vapes.

Is this AI, or does this sort of grace really exist in our world?
