Trump hasn't read the Bitcoin whitepaper.

He hasn't read any altcoin whitepaper either.

He's an entertainer, like most public faces of The State, just less disciplined and less team-spirited than others.

He's irrelevant to Bitcoin

Pack your bags, it’s over. #Bitcoin

☕🌞 Enjoy the day!

Good Morning ☕

Does it count that Bitcoin only exchanges would have all been above 100k?

Like they are the exchanges we use so should mean something.

What’s the counter argument? Lightning doesn’t scale to world population?

What’s the bottle?

If y'all want total BTC supremacy and an accelerated demise of alt coins, smarter capabilities are simply a requirement.

Ironically, I think adding these "capabilities" makes BTC vulnerable to censorship and opens the door to cooptation by bad actors.

For instance, it's quite simple to see how a bad actor like governments and/or their bank cronies may require that all BTC within "their" jurisdiction be filtered through some sort of covenant that heavily conditions the future use of the UTXOs. If a UTXO doesn't come through that funnel, it becomes "illegal". Expect all those MSTR and ETF UTXOs to be immediately funneled and a de facto soft fork to happen.

My opinion is, this is the sort of extremely undesirable consequence of idiotic maximalism, which as I said, I find quite ironic.

Because alts are perceived as a threat instead of as a complement, and because idiot maxis want BTC to monopolize all spaces and functions, they will inevitably introduce all the bad potentials too.

I say let alts take care of "smart" and unsafe stuff and keep BTC dumb and safe.

What’s the best breakdown of covenants?

From my limited exposure I got a negative vibe. But want to be sure I understand thoroughly both arguments before I make up my mind.

This is cursed lol delete this shit

Oof... Hope they didn't throw it in the bin
