Bitcoin, as it is, saved my family from hyperinflation in Lebanon. It is entirely essential to my life. It works perfectly fine for me as it is. It is not some "cool" piece of software whose next iterations I'm "excited" about. It is my lifeline. If it never ads a single capability, it will still be the most important technological innovation of my lifetime.
If you want to to introduce ANY changes to its software, I am going to be extremely skeptical about adopting them on my node. You're not just experimenting with adding features to another app on my phone; you're asking to rebuild my lifeboat with my family on it. I need to see extremely compelling evidence for why these changes are necessary, and extremely compelling explanations for why they do not pose any risks.
Like most bitcoiners, I have been harassed and hounded for years by BIP300's well-funded cringe marketing machine, but the more I look into it, the less convincing it is. Nothing in the motivation seems necessary or even useful. I simply don't care about "killing shitcoins" nor do I see any value from adding any of their features to bitcoin, since I know their features are just vaporware to promote ponzis. A significant number of plausible risks are waved away with cavalier indifference. It somehow fixes all problems and ends all trade-offs. And its promoters have more red flags than a Soviet parade: a history of questionable judgments on bitcoin issues; funding from shitcoiners responsible for the most serious attacks on bitcoin, like Garzik, Ver, and Brekken; the strong support of countless other shitcoiners; and worst of all, the resort to ridiculous fear tactics and the insistence that bitcoin is in a dangerous crisis which only BIP300 can fix.
Bitcoin is permissionless, so i cannot stop you from doing sidechains. Liquid, RSK, and RGB are doing something similar and I simply don't care. But if you need me to do anything with my node to accommodate you, the answer is going to be a very firm no.
#drivechain is an attack on the #bitcoin network, its leaders and supporters are our enemies.
Just my opinion, this note was not made for likes.
There should be an option, "see results"
“Switzerland, the last country in the world to go off the gold standard, provides a good example of this dynamic. As the fiat world struggled through severe unemployment crises throughout the twentieth century, Switzerland had practically no unemployment until it went off the gold standard in the mid-1970s.42 After adopting the dollar standard and engaging in inflationism, Switzerland has witnessed a rise in unemployment that follows the same cyclical pattern observed in every country that runs on fiat money.”

Alguém aí tem essa notícia de que autocustódia de BTC vai ser equiparada a investimento no exterior?
É só comprar #noKYC 🤙
Bitcoin and all the reality it brings is one of them. 🤯
Peep this and see if it changes your mind

It really makes me suspicious, I need to go down this rabbit hole.
Guys, 9/11 being the work of the American government is too much of a conspiracy theory for me. Of course they used this terrible event to diminish our freedom. #conspiracy
Yes, we cannot deny that there is a marketing incentive there.
