Happy Memorial Day to those who served this once great nation. #MemorialDay

I bailed on them years ago and set up jellyfin. I even watched my jellyfin movies during my last power outage.

Make no mistake. The current American regime is trying desperately to provoke a 'limited nuclear exchange' with Russia and China.

The fact that a radiological event in Ukraine isn't headline news tells me a lot. Perhaps the radioactive ammunition came from the UK?

The Bitcoin community is currently divided over 'inscriptions', marking the most significant split since the block size wars of years past.

This division carries weight because Bitcoin's value is fundamentally rooted in the collective agreement of its participants.

The Bitcoin token itself doesn't possess inherent tangible value - it's simply a digitized number in a ledger. Its value is derived from the social layer, the shared agreement among users that this token holds value.

Bitcoin's economic viability rests on this social consensus. The software of Bitcoin, with its mutually agreed-upon rules, automates this social contract. When the software and social layers synchronize, the network thrives.

Without this social consensus, any deviation merely leads to self-eviction from the network. Forking Bitcoin is akin to a constitutional amendment — it demands convincing a significant number of people that the new ruleset will better serve their interests. No small feat.

Convincing some people of your amendment while failing to persuade others can result in a hard-fork. While some Bitcoiners view this as an opportunity to increase their share of the "real Bitcoin" by selling the opposing fork, it's important to take a broader perspective.

A community split extends beyond the creation of a new token or blockchain. It fragments our collective power, the very power that has catapulted Bitcoin from obscurity to a globally recognized alternative to fiat currency.

It's often overlooked that Bitcoiners find common ground on the most critical issues.

We are united in our belief in a decentralized, censorship-resistant, P2P currency that operates free from the influence of central banks and governments

Many people are capable of contributing to this mission, and we're better off collectively working together than ostracizing people to leave the network.

Ultimately it's a good thing for everyone if they can 'have fun' using Bitcoin. Even if they used to play with altcoins

Yes, using the main chain comes with a high cost, and we know it's going to get more expensive following hyperbitcoinization.

This challenge is what can and will push more people onto layer twos.

Good. It's time to work on lightning ⚡️

I agree there is more talk, but disagree on division. I have seen nothing particularly vitriolic.

Bitcoin is an asset, not a token, and does indeed have intrinsic value (e.g. Proof of Work). Bitcoiners understand this.

Best case, inscriptions find a real use and people stop spamming monkey jpegs after burning billions of their own sats.

Worst case scenario, there's another contentious fork that purges more shitcoiners from the main chain. Painful, but ultimately necessary.

I agree with the reasoning, but then you run the risk of alienating new talent. It's important to establish community expectations up-front, so that not everyone expects their pull request for a missing comma in readme.md will get merged. You still need to foster that atmosphere of opportunity for the noobies. It's a tough line to walk though, that much is clear.

I heard Mark Hamill was supposedly harassed by fans.

Simpsons did it!

Yet another Rubicon has been crossed. Things are escalating quickly now. We are mere seconds to midnight.

BIP-20 should never have been on chain. Always should have been layer 2 or 3.

`The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. "Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does." They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted.`
