BTC Class of ‘21. Padawan on the road to Master X: @BTCSkywalker21

There’s a 401k salesman at my office today pitching his 401ks to the young hires here

It’s like listening to a snake oil salesman

He’s promising them 8-10% growth every year, not even mentioning that is not outpacing inflation.

“If you don’t know anything about investing , you can trust Vanguard”

Direct quote. Wow.

Who’s ready for the Dennis Porter nothing burger today?

I’ll take a double nothing patty with a side of nothing sauce , please

Anyone else at Riot Fest on Nostr or am I the only one?

It’s mind boggling how many people still smoke cigarettes habitually

I hate when I’m sick and have to skip out on lifting heavy at the gym

Lifting is a great source of mental clarity for me and it always makes me feel accomplished and better for the day, even if it’s a mediocre session

However it’s also good to listen to my body and give it the rest it needs

This is me just coping with skipping the gym because I’m congested and have a splitting headache, by the way😂

Software is code

Code is just words

Words are speech

Speech is protected by the first amendment

Therefore…

Software is free speech

Haircuts are overrated. I only get like 2 a year at most. Or whenever I have a conference I have to attend.

Throw a hat on and stack sats

Posting this thread from nostr:nprofile1qyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttjv4kxz7fwwak8vuewwdcxzcm9qythwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnxd46zuamf0ghxy6t6qqsqyredyxhqn0e4ln0mvh0v79rchpr0taeg4vcvt64te4kssx5pc0sk99k65 here on Nostr for everyone's reference and my analysis of it: https://x.com/adam3us/status/1963830548012372324

My take:

**ADAM BACK DID NOT MENTION KNOTS**

People who called Adam “pro spam” (and worse) for weeks are now celebrating that “Adam is back.”

NEWSFLASH: he never left.

Obviously Adam freaking Back is not “pro spam” and never was.

He simply did not agree with the efficacy of the proposed "solution" (Knots node implementation) from a technical perspective (and still does not agree that node filtering of spam is a viable solution, based on my reading of his thread).

Instead, Adam is trying to lay out the *economic* case for how to deal with incentives to filter spam at the *miner/pool* level, while clearly stating “bitcoin is about money, spam has no place in the timechain. what defaults the bitcoin core project puts in the reference client matter in this."

Again, clearly Adam is not "pro spam."

A key line that jumped out to me was “to prevail, we have to make economic sense (or we work against our own objectives)”.

Adam focuses on *miners/pools*—and their economic incentives, or lack thereof—not on node implementations.

If you’ve spent the past weeks bashing Adam because you think he is a “spam apologist,” now is a good time to check your assumptions and consider that Adam wants what is best for bitcoin... as do you... as do I.

We ALL want what’s best for Bitcoin to make sure it succeeds as unfuckable sound money and a censorship-resistant medium of exchange.

No serious person is like "OOOH YEAH I LOVE SPAM! MORE JPEGS ON THE TIMECHAIN, PLEASE!"

It is possible to disagree with the efficacy of a proposed solution *without* being a "spam apologist."

Just because someone has a different opinion than you do about a solution does not mean that person is your enemy or has been "compromised."

This should be obvious but apparently it needs to be said...

Thanks for all you do.

This is still a good sign. People need to come together. We agree on so much more than we disagree on

Only on Nostr do you get the very best in the latest music

New Fleshwater album is out today and it is an absolute ripper

Beautiful axe you got there. Followed!

Zaps are a myth created by Big Bitcoin to sell more Sats

A must read article about the state of the Knots vs. Core debate.

Both sides are right, but each are missing the full context.

We need less infighting, and more collaboration and teamwork to resolve this problem.

Instead of asking “how do we destroy the other side?” We need to ask “how do we work together to achieve our common goal of worldwide bitcoin adoption?”

Follow me so I can be on the next Cason+Walker+Hodl podcast and pepper you guys with Noob questions the whole time

If you’re looking for extra conviction, watch interviews/new segments/documentaries of the internet from the 1990s.

The parallels between then and now (with Bitcoin adoption) are almost uncanny

“Why would I send an email when I have the post office?”

“Why would I listen to a baseball game on the internet when I have the radio?”

The adoption of the internet represented the most modern case of framework shifting in recent memory.

If you’re thinking of bitcoin in terms of fiat money, you’re missing the point entirely. You have to radically shift your entire perception of everything that money touches. It’s a whole new framework.

Never been more bullish.
