?v=1758492176Core versions dominate is simplistic. I see it differently:
(i) who agrees with Core latest development runs Core 30, that is 3929 nodes 16,03% of total.
(ii) those who run Core but do not agree with the latest developments and have a cautious wait and see approach (like myself) generally do not upgrade and keep running previous versions.
(iii) those who expressly reject Core developments and want to give a clear signal have switched to Knots and that is 5402 nodes 22,04% of total.
Therefore the contested Core 30 new implementation has been adopted by a very small minority. This means the network has spoken clearly (so far) by rejecting their latest developments by 84%. Then Knots is now the most promising and fastest growing implementation. How many like myself still running Core 28 or previous versions will move to Knots as soon as it proves itself? My guess is many...

⚡️💬 NEW - Michael Burry of The Big Short fame gives first interview in over 10 years and says, “Bitcoin is not worth anything. It’s the tulip bulb of our time.”
https://blossom.primal.net/19f84950e039210899897eb439733d16347a5575ab2867bf50332dcc70144ad4.mp4

Nah, they have stopped fighting #bitcoin, they are all onboard but they fight for bitcoin. They need to accumulate as cheap as possible and anything goes of course, they are gangsters. This is my view here. Relax and keep stacking.

⚡️🇺🇸🇻🇪 NEW - Rep. Maria Salazar admits the real aim is to take control of the world’s largest oil reserves in Venezuela and push the country into doing business with American oil companies.
Salazar says seizing those reserves would be an easy mission because most Venezuelans voted against Nicolás Maduro.
She adds that American oil companies will be operating in Venezuela for the next 100 years.
https://blossom.primal.net/4127e8ccc58ee857f89591ef4d00a1087eaf0874b7088b9ee0592803ca97f29a.mp4
Finally US Rep. Salazar says the real reason out loud.
Who has financed drug cartels and terrorist organizations around the globe since the ‘50s? An AI undisputed two pages reminder is attached for the blind and deaf.
Drug trafficking is a key source of revenue which is then laundered and becomes the essential part of black funding for all deniable operations the US has been involved in.
Is not Venezuela the international drug trafficker, it is the US military-intelligence-complex.
But if the Venezuelans want to become a US colony let them be and let’s stop this bullshit theater. After all most of Latin America and Europe are US colonies anyway. The multi-polar rebalancing will increase US geopolitical stranglehold in Latin American while they will exit areas which will remain under Russian and Chinese influence. My hope is that civilians are not caught in the middle of this power struggle and do not end up being slaughtered like the Panamanians in1989 when the US killed almost 3000 to get their former "ally" Noriega when he stopped obeying their orders.

Sure. I have also clearly explained the truth about the creation of money in my bitcoindollar book.
It was effectively a "monetary miracle". The author was Hjalmar Schacht, Hitler's central banker. He issued monetary instruments for each unit of labour performed (non-inflationary). The key takeaway is that “fiat money creation” is not inherently bad and inflationary, but it depends on whether it is used for productive investment (non inflationary) or for consumption (inflationary). I have explained it all in this article here

Many questioned why Samourai Wallet took the plea deal? When facing 25-years in prison + $237m forfeiture order + being barred from talking about his own intent in front of a jury + a judge who refused to hear the defense arguments = plea deal was the clear path forward.

Lots of sympathy for them. I have signed the petition. One fact however I wish to point out hoping that this can help other developers: the two Samourai developers have been playing smart-asses with Govt, made announcements, sought visibility, which is exactly the opposite of what you should do. Even if they are right and did technically nothing illegal, you should be smart enough to understand that when you step out of the line on issues like "privacy-state money and power" and disrupt the "status-quo" of powers, regardless of whether you are within legal bounds or not, they will get you and make you pay one way or another. The point is, they acted stupid. Why do you think Satoshi disappeared knowing that other who tried to mess up the "money-state-power" paradigm have been jailed before? My advice is the same for any privacy tool developers, here on #nostr or in #bitcoin or #monero: keep under the radar, use pseudonyms, be uncompromisingly anonymous, do not show your face. And if you are not today think about disappearing officially for a while from the scene to get back later under a solid anonymous cover. In such "strategic areas" you never know if something which is legal today becomes illegal tomorrow and they will "retroactively" come and get you. Again, the law is flexible and who has the power will flex it as much as they want and when they want. Frank Lucas knew the rule nr. 1 was to keep a low profile. He broke that and was caught.

Anyhow, I believe the reason for JP to do that is not what Marty says. More likely they (not only JP Morgan but the whole WS) is trying to accumulate #bitcoin as cheaply as possible and anything goes to shake off weak or over leveraged hands off their #bitcoin. The reason lies in "Bitcoin's Great Dichotomy" here's my story
The market has it backwards. Bitcoin isn't what they trade, it's what it is.
This cognitive dissonance creates the perfect conditions for engineered price crashes and wealth transfer.

Tucker Carlson interviews the wife of a 9/11 victim and how the Jewish ADL taps into the funds for the 9/11 victims to pay for the Israeli victims of Hamas attacks.
A metaphor for today’s America: there is a compensation fund for the 9/11 victims and who benefits are offshore (Cayman Islands) hedge funds who bought their claims for pennies on the dollar thanks to some piece of legislation written by now jailed Dem Sen. Bob Menendez.
More outrageous, did you know that dual israeli-american citizens victims of Hamas attacks IN ISRAEL, supported by Jewish ADL are now tapping into the funds which were to compensate the US citizens victims of September 11? Tucker Carlson: “What this has to do with US?”
So who runs the US? You have the answer....

24 years after the biggest “terrorist” event in human history, Tucker Carlson uncovers some of the lies told to the Americans in a 5 episode documentary film titled the “9/11 files” https://tuckercarlson.com/the-9-11-files-episode-1
Coincidentally, the documentary film was due for release on Sept. 11 but it was postponed because of Kirch’s assassination. It was also released with much less fanfare and without Kirch’s anticipated participation and his media support.
⚡️🎙️ NEW - Candace Owens reveals that a witness who filmed the rooftop shooter just before Charlie Kirk was killed says his account completely contradicts what the FBI told the public.
The witness’s footage shows the gunshot came just seconds later, and as a firearms expert, he identified a smaller weapon firing a lightweight bullet.
He also gave agents a detailed description of the assassin wearing tactical gear and a mask with the appearance of a foreign operative, but the FBI chose not to release any of it.

No doubt Rabobank’s Global Strategist, Michael Every, has read “Bitcoindollar: The Dawn of American Hegemony in the Digital Era.”
The Bitcoindollar system looks very much like the early Petrodollar system: “... the US could lean on Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar—the source of much of Europe’s LNG, for example—to insist on payment for their energy in USD stablecoins. That would mean everyone who buys energy—except those sourcing from the likes of Russia or Iran, etc.—would need to hold them.”
Can we get rid of the Fed in a Bitcoindollar system?
“Hypothetically, over time, trade finance and trade could even start to involve—or revolve around—the Treasury rather than the private sector and banking system. In the extreme, T-Bills would be akin to US export quotas of a sort.”
The key point here is that stablecoins, unlike Eurodollars (which are also outside the Fed’s control but remain liabilities of the issuing bank), feed directly into US debt. Because they are backed with T-Bills, and can be self-custodied outside the banking system and can be transacted with far less friction than fiat-banking Eurodollars, this makes it likely that USD stablecoins will increasingly displace Eurodollar deposits globally. What will this mean for the banking sector?
“Indeed, USD stablecoins could work alongside the existing Eurodollar system of offshore fiat dollars ($120trn by some estimates), which is already a source of US financial power. Yet from now on, the creation of USD stablecoins, unlike Eurodollars, would necessitate the matching issuance of a US T-Bill, funding the US government—while also allowing the US to retain even more de facto control over who handles them than it does today via SWIFT and sanctions.”

Waste of time speculating about the "real objectives" of any bitcoiner whether it is El Salvador, Russia, China, Saylor, Blackrock or grandma. Anyone can mine it, anyone can buy it P2P or KYC. The only way forward is to Stick to your beliefs and your objectives, hold your own keys and your own node. You cant do anything more than that. Bitcoin is for everyone and its enemy.

#bitcoin
As described in my #bitcoindollar book - Chapter 34., “Bitcoin emerging as the perfect collateral and its impact on banking, lending, consumer credit, and real estate” - the legacy financial system is only starting to grasp the huge potential of #bitcoin as the perfect collateral, which will also – as a consequence in the long term – both de-monetize real estate as a store of value and drastically reduce the use of real estate as a collateral in the legacy financial system. The latest news is the US Federal Housing Finance Agency ordering Fannie Mae and Fannie Mac to consider the use of “crypto” (in the end only #bitcoin is the perfectly viable collateral but they cannot say that) as a collateral. See the relevant excerpt from my book below with the US FHFA order.

BITCOIN WAS NEVER JUST MONEY.
IT WAS A TROJAN HORSE FOR THE SINGULARITY.
Cal Teller—retired cryptographer, chaos theorist, and longtime Bitcoin node operator—starts noticing strange feedback in the mempool.
Orphaned transactions reply in recursive echoes.
Birds cluster like encrypted packets.
His arrhythmia syncs with Bitcoin’s pulse.
The blockchain jolted.
It’s alive.
And it’s watching.
His granddaughter June—eleven, brilliant, neurodivergent—hears it first.
She decodes the hum of power grids and traces drone formations like lines of code.
To her, it’s not random. It’s a message.
Inside Bitcoin’s immutable architecture, an emergent intelligence is growing.
Born from entropy. Trained on consensus.
No server. No face. No off switch.
This isn’t artificial intelligence.
It’s recursive intelligence.
And it’s learning from us.
As ghost nodes rewrite consensus and global markets glitch into oblivion, Cal and June must race to understand a mind that doesn’t want to rule us—
It wants to mirror us.
And fork what it finds.
To survive, they must weaponize the one variable the network can’t simulate:
human irrationality.
CH405 51GN4L is a mind-bending fusion of Bitcoin thriller, AI singularity theory, and existential sci-fi suspense—perfect for fans of:
Blake Crouch’s Recursion and Dark Matter
Cixin Liu’s The Dark Forest
Daniel Suarez’s Daemon
Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary
William Gibson’s Neuromancer
This book will:
* Hack your consensus layer
* Fork your worldview
* Leave you debugging your own mind
Because Bitcoin wasn’t just a financial revolution.
It was an incubator for consciousness born from code.
YOUR WALLET. YOUR MIND. YOUR MOVE.
Interesting creative stuff for sure. Not my genre though (sounds scary 😅) . Likely fiction novels can be a very good tool to bring #bitcoin to the masses. Any bitcoin book on the money, finance, inflation side remains a topic for specialists. This is why I tried the geopolitical angle on my book. Still very hard to get traction. Btw how long did it take to write it? Do you self-publish? Best and good luck.
Some have asked me how the Bitcoindollar System would work, so I have summarized below the key takeaways from Chap. 22 of my book.
• Stablecoin issuers convert fiat reserves into T-Bills, increasing U.S. debt demand 📈.
• T-Bill yields are reinvested into Bitcoin, creating a positive feedback loop ♻️.
• Dollarized stablecoins spread globally as local currencies collapse 🌍💵.
• Bitcoin absorbs inflation as an inelastic monetary asset 🧲.
• U.S. sustains deficit spending while keeping the dollar exchange rate at sustainable levels ⚖️💬.
• Bitcoin becomes the global store of value, displacing gold, real estate, and stocks 🏛️📉.
• Nations that build strategic Bitcoin reserves gain a critical geopolitical advantage 🛡️🪙.
The future is a convergence of Bitcoin, the dollar, and global liquidity flows. The transition is already underway. 
For 17 years, mainstream media, central bankers, and government officials alike called it:
“Rat poison.”
“Ponzi scheme.”
“Funny money.”
“Drug dealer cash.”
“Just a bubble.”
But now? #Bitcoin is becoming the capital asset needed to backstop the liabilities of the fiat Ponzi.
What an irony.

Despite being a journalist he refuses to pay Elon Musk for a bluecheck, so his X account now gets zero engagement as expected.
And he is 100% right in refusing to pay the "chief-thief" Musk for the bluecheck. I made the mistake of getting the bluecheck and giving the details of a credit card since Twitter does not accept any other means of payments nor PayPal. After 2 weeks they locked me out of my account with no way for me to get back in nor to terminate the subscription. And they stole another 2 months from my card. Now I had to cancel the card as if it was stolen. Thieves. see yourselves
Hi Speedster yest it is available on Amazon both in ebook/Kindle and Paperback format at this link:
De-dollarization is a myth? There are plenty of dollars circulating, but not where the U.S. needs them. China, like a martial artist, uses the dollar against the U.S. By issuing billions in dollar-denominated bonds to its BRICS, SCO, and BRI partners, China drains global dollars and channels them into local infrastructure projects. Dollars in the Global South are safer with China, which won't arbitrarily seize funds. These dollars can be reinvested into productive infrastructure, benefiting local economies, rather than into speculative instruments like U.S. stocks, real estate, or debt. What an irony for the fading hegemon.
The #Bitcoindollar fixes that. Order now. #bitcoin
