The utxoset size is *permanent* it can’t be pruned like other block data unless you consolidate the spend into a smaller set of utxos

basically think of them as a coin purse where if you put two coins in, the only way to shrink the bag is to spend to coins with no change.

JPEGs in witness data means that they will likely be unspendable, meaning that there is a permanent storage increase requirement on all nodes. But they are no provably unspendable so you can’t discard them from the coin purse. This is really bad.

OP_RETURNs are *provably* unspendable, meaning they can be ignored from the utxoset perspective (never goes in the coin purse)

By trying to stop both witness jpegs and large OP_RETURN pushes, it will push people to do even worse things like large multisigs that stores data in the signatures. This is how the whitepaper is permanently stored in the utxoset. This is even worse for utxo bloat.

At this point the censor proponents would say well thats not economically viable… but none of these methods really is. Some are cheaper than others, sure, but overall it’s still the most expensive data storage out there. People have to burn the hardest money on the planet if they want to play stupid games.

The point is people are going to store data anyway, the *least bad* is OP_RETURN, because it minimizes the *permanent* storage burden on pruned nodes.

Follow packs gonna be hug for those users who jumped onto a global feed first thing (god forbid at work or with kids in the room) saw some shit, got scared and left as soon as they came.

What's your main use for AI at this point?

How long until shitcoiners say we should trade Bitcoin ETFs on "the blockchain"

I reached a point of acceptance over why Saylor will never say that Bitcoin is (or will become) a medium of exchange (or as he says, currency) AND that it will replace the dollar and government bonds. It’s because he doesn’t want to poke the Beast.

He’s completely wrong on those two counts, but I get why he either lies intentionally or deludes himself into thinking incorrectly.

I plugged my S19 in at my desk at work, but my boss told me to shut it off for some reason

RHR is whatever you observe it to be.

1000 SATS to everyone who can give me a short video (more than 3 seconds) of any kind of bitcoin mining equipment up to the first 100 unique videos, and I specifically want ALL kinds -

heaters in your room,

miner heating your house,

personal mini mining rig outside in a shed,

bitaxe on your desk,

miner drying food/clothes,

mining container at a datacenter, energy producer, flared gas site, massive mining farm, and literally ANYTHING else you can think off.

I will be the final judge on whether its useful or a repeat or too crappy quality.

Please repost to everyone and send to other socials to get as many entrants as possible. I'm building a collection for some future projects. 🙏

The woke media attacks Trump so much about total bullshit, that people learn to ignore any real criticism as well. And that's where the real danger is

The bill that got signed into law in Kentucky this morning is worth looking into. 👀

That’s why it won’t happen. Governments learned.

Unpopular opinion: - Zero capital gain tax on #bitcoin will turn out to be much bigger catalyst for #bitcoin than SBR.

Few understand this...!!!
