They don't even understand the difference between miners and node runners, it's gonna take them a while.

By the time they figure out what is it that they want to do, BlackRock is going to make so much fees on the ETF that Fink will just turn around and say "shut up bitches!”. And they'll look down and walk away with the tail between the legs, because they know better than fucking up their master's businesses.

Telling a public business manager that their proposed strategy is crap and if they keep implementing it you'll use the financial system to go against them is not illegal. Otherwise the jails would be cramped with hedge funds employees.

Regardless, you asked what the question was, I gave you the question. Whether he decides to answer it honestly, dishonesty or not answering at all its a different story. A good journalist/communicator should ask the question anyway and press within reason to get the answer.

Since there's an accusation made, the question is pretty straight forward. Is it true that you have threatened an ETF issuer to wreck them if they supported open source devs? And if so, why?

Depends on what your eyes are using as a static reference. If it's the platform, then it looks like it's coming. If the ceiling, it's going.

We're already there. Pretty much every fishery in the world is overexploited and fishing equipment is the #1 source of plastics in the oceans. Plus aquaculture is extremely pollutant, they toss insane amounts of antibiotics in the water to keep the cramped fish "healthy" while swimming in waters oversaturated with their own feces

There's two types of chain forks, soft and hard forks.

Soft froks are backwards compatible, it's a way of upgrading the protocol (see SegWit), and don't split the chain.

Hard forks are not backwards compatible and they split the chain into two separate chains.

Over the time, people has done both. The reason why hard forks, creating new "bitcoin-derived" shitcoins, haven't been so successful in the past is incentives, as you summed up. There are many angles as to why the incentives don't add up, but mainly is hashing.

If you keep the same algorithm, even if a lot of people was running nodes, one single big miner moving to the new chain could attack the network. If you change the algorithm, the hashrate would drop to almost nothing and anyone willing to spend the capital could gain the majority of the hashing power and attack the network. In both scenarios, the network is vulnerable, so it makes no sense for any serious player to pay divert their attention from Bitcoin and into the new chain.

You can, nobody will follow though. Bitcoin Cash, BSV, Dogecoin, all BTC forks.

The thing is, once you start the new chain, who's gonna run the nodes and miners for the new chain, when they can ignore you and keep running Bitcoin?

I'd take the three buds and don't even look at the sky

Release time!

In our biggest update yet, we've completely redesigned the home screen, added a nostr-based profile setup walkthrough, and have finished our initial fedimint integrations by adding a federation discovery & recommendations!

Most lightning wallets these days are what we call "invoice-oriented." We want to go back to the basics to solve what people are really trying to do: paying a person. We've added a new wallet creation flow to make the wallet about you!

The new version of Mutiny now allows you to create a new nostr profile, or import a nostr private key from an existing profile. From there, you can now DM other mutiny & nostr users to send or request money directly from the app. No more copy / pasting invoices!

To double down on social, we've redesigned our home screen to put people first. We now include a row of recent profiles for quick access. We also now have tabs on the home screen for looking at your payment activity, your friend's zap activity on nostr, and your payment requests.

Next up, better fedimint support!

Mutiny has had beta support for the fedimint protocol for a couple of months now. Instead of opening a lightning channel on your first receive, with a minimum of 100k sats, you can get started on a fedimint with just a few sats.

This new update adds a way to discover available fedimints to join. Naturally, the discovery process is powered by an open protocol built on nostr. You can see who recommends a federation, and add it with one click.

You'll automatically receive funds to that fedimint, as long as the amount is smaller than 200,000 sats, and you'll automatically spend out of that fedimint, with a fallback to your regular lightning balance. You can also swap from fedimint to your lightning balance at any time.

Coming up shortly after this release, we'll be adding federated lightning addresses that lock incoming payments to your key, which you may redeem at any point by coming back online. We'll be rolling this out to Mutiny+ users first, stay tuned!

Let us know what you think! We're excited about this new direction and need feedback to help us continue driving forward.

When creating a new profile it asks for NYM and LNaddress. Is that an LNaddress you provide or one the user should already have?
