Miners can use some of their BTC, especially now, with the halving so close.
Sharpening skills?
How dare you! More than half of GBTC has already been depleted just to keep this level.
With that I totally agree, humans make mistakes.
They also act maliciously sometimes. There are powers that understand how deadly is BTC for their privileges. They are sure to try their best to take it down by making it look buggy, sloppy, unsecure, etc.
I never said BTC can't be touched. Bugs have to be fixed, including fast track fixes be there the need.
What I'm strongly opposed to is adding fancy unnecessary stuff. The more complex a mechanism is the more points of failure it has.
Ok let's try being more specific?
You talk about some essential UI features, that are worth the risks I was talking about, right?
Let's talk these
We're speaking different languages, apparently.
I wish you well, Derek.
Anyway, what's that urge to add fancy stuff to the L1 when all kinds of stuff can be done and is being done on upper levels?
Bitcoin as it is now serves its purpose well enough and will win the world finance without any new feature.
This is where I stand.
So the point you're making is that BTC can't be killed by next bug only because it sustained some before?
A bug in a chat software is fixed and life goes on. This happens every now and then. Experimenting is great there, because the highest risk is a temporary disruption or some non-fatal leak.
Note how vital software(ISS, Hubble, etc.) is devoid of any fancy stuff and is updated only when stuff breaks or it is absolutely necessary. There is no easy way to correct a mistake, if any.
Similarly, a bug in BTC core could mean its death. There will be no second chance for BTC after a serious bug. You just can't not realize it.
You may build whatever you want, that's the beauty of BTC. It's decentralized, open source and consensus driven.
I have huge respect for open source devs who put their time and effort to our good.
I also know they can make mistakes, like any other human.
If that what you can build can be done outside of the main code, it should be done there. Don't fuck with BTC while it works.
I personally regard anyone pushing another BIP as a CIA spook or some other ill-motivated actor, by default. Which can be revised later upon studying the suggested BIP.
There's simply too much at stake.
We're fucked without Bitcoin. This is our only defense against global elites, their control and tyranny.
You do you. I will study. I will vote with my nodes. I will voice my opinion.
A serious question to those who really want that shiny new feature added to Bitcoin core. Who think BTC is a living organism and have to be changed...
Would you innovate your own genome?
Sure the science is already there, you can add or remove some features.
This can be so much fun!
Add more iron to your blood and cells so you can hold your breath for 10 minutes! Increase your retina's rod cells number so you can better see at night!
This is fun until it's not and you fuck up some systems you weren't thinking about which are intertwined with the things you messed with in ways you didn'tthink was possible. Now your immune system is broken or who knows what. And you die.
The point is, dont mess with a working system unless absolutely have to.
Those who say that all the living organisms mutate to aquire new features always forget at what cost.
99,999% of mutations are crippling to the organism or outright lethal. Nature deals with this having huge population, where risk of death of a single organism is outweighed by possible benifits for the whole population.
WE DO NOT HAVE a population of BTCs to take unnecessary risks. There's only one, so when it dies it's game over.
Statistics look great, but when you have only one shot to go wrong(example with your own genome) you'd better be careful what you mess with.
OSSIFY BITCOIN. Unless it's an existentially important thing you're looking to mess with. For example quantum resistant hashing when it becomes a problem
OSSIFY BITCOIN!

Food of gods!
Add some asparagus fried in ghee and it's absolute happiness
I don't trust neither of them.
But since it's only one side saying something without produce any proof, and the other one still silent it's a nothingburger at this point.
Odell's reputation alone is nowhere near enough to make me excited, I guess.
Amazing cavaliering through critics in comments of his own thread, having been severely ratioed.
So pomp
One of many, many reasons to give out the least possible data about yourself, especially your stack.
Non-KYC is not a whim or cipher romanticism. It is a key point to your survival.
So no evidence?
How come?
What if, by a special seret decree the us BTC ETFs are not actually buying any corn?
They're just selling paper, basically venting a part of demend into void, keeping its price down?
