pretty sure we only need to convince the right 10 people to move to nostr for the majority of technical bitcoin conversation to happen here

The 21 million hard cap is non-negotiable.

Somebody uses Facebook? Really?

Today’s labour day in Germany…

A public holiday to honour… work.

Most people don’t mind working hard. They mind working for something that gets weaker every year. For a system that extracts more than it gives back.

I stopped celebrating labour.

I started building Freedom.

Bitcoin doesn’t inflate my hours away. It respects my time.

My work.

My time&energy.

My sacrifice!

And it lets me keep what’s truly mine 🧡

I’m NOT celebrating „Tag der Arbeit“…

I AM celebrating PROOF OF WORK today.

Let’s grow&build together 🫡🧡💜

&stay healthy along the way 🤙🏼

Its really obvious who actually pays attention right now and who is just getting their information tenth-hand from this site.

Bitcoin Core GitHub has always been for technical discussion relevant to the specific PR to avoid it being impossible for them to get any work done. There are many other places to have broader discussions (e.g. the mailing list, IRC, delving, etc).

Bitcoin Core is *finally* enforcing this rule, which is incredibly healthy for the project as it allows developers to stay focused, and people are upset because they only get bad takes on this site and don't actually research what happened. If you went and looked, you'd see that people who got banned were repeatedly making off-topic comments and didn't stop when it was made clear they should. That deserves a ban in *any* community.

As for the specific thing going on, yes, sadly having a relay policy in Bitcoin Core that accepts all the transactions that people want to make (in this case Citrea wants to make) is a *critical* feature of the Bitcoin network. It ensures small miners (like Ocean!) are able to compete by making sure all transactions are available to everyone, rather than only available to large pools like @MARA via their Slipstream product or ViaBTC via their accelerator.

Put my property in southern Germany (Munich area) up for sale.

To buy more corn.

Because if you want to secure a roof over your head in the future…

You don’t buy a house.

You buy Bitcoin.

Also, I don’t want to live life in Germany anymore.

Looking for a new spot on this beautiful planet.

Open to ideas.

Freedom first.

I need 🏝️&☀️&🧡-friendly

NOSTR really sucks for me.

history of crypto scams:

2010-2015: random altcoins

2015-2016: ethereum

2017-2019: ICOs

2020-2022: defi

2022-2023: NFTs

2023-2024: inscriptions

2024-2025: fake L2s

2025-now: stablecoins

LLMs say "You're right!" a lot, and I'm not sure if that's good...

Carry cash you idiots.

(Context: there's a massive blackout in Spain and Portugal that has taken down card networks, among many other things)

The European Data Protection Board says if you can't anonymize transactions on a blockchain, you have to delete the blockchain. Funny, since they've spent the past 10 years trying to make software that does exactly that illegal.
