Bitcoin is programmable money.

Imagine being a bitcoiner and thinking the word permissionless is bad. Wow. Censorship resistance is one of the defining principles of bitcoin and always be.

So get this... Apparently all the Knots people don't understand that Knots is just Luke's personal project that he unilaterally pushes changes to whenever he feels like with no public community review whatsoever. I believe in multiple implementations and running whatever you want but... Knots is NOT safe IMO and I'd never trust it with my coins.

Bitcoin is programmable money. More features like better self custody and vaults as well as scaling lightning are important in making it an even better money. It's early days and bitcoin isn't finished yet.

LOL the filteroos aren't going to like this tweet by saylor!

We have clear, verifiable evidence confirming that v30 was a response to network changes, not the cause of them. You can clearly see that op returns and spam were spiking well before v30 shipped from this on-chain data. Sources linked in reply below.

LOL hodlonaut flip flopping, such a politician, if he only he'd of actually pay attention to technical information instead of politics and cancel culture he'd have a lot easier time.

I had a long talk with wise @giacomozucco today. And I am withdrawing my support for BIP-110. I stand by A and B of this post. And partly C. Som...

It seems BIP 110 folks are perfectly fine with breaking bitcoin's neutrality, removing important upgrade paths, destroying people's vaults, confiscating coins and causing a split. Awesome.

Remember when everyone was like "hey devs shouldn't 'tinker' too much" when CTV was being proposed, and now people are literally going along with a far more significant update and endless SFing to stop spam. The irony is too much.

Bitcoin is freedom money. Bitcoin is fuck you money. Bitcoin is NOT a democracy-good-feelz money.

With the removal of the op return limit in v30 Core recognized that it's important we keep block space a decentralized market and not incentivize a private mempool with backdoor channels to miners.

hodlonaut was a clown in 2017, and he's a clown now, the only difference is instead of begging for money he's begging for attention.

See what Knots / 110 folks don't seem to understand is that Core tried to take a stand at the relay level (safer) and literally everyone ignored them. So doing it at the consensus level (far more dangerous) would certainly cause a split, which is exactly what 110 is going to do. And even then it doesn't actually prevent spam as Peter Todd proved when he embedded the entire 110 pdf doc in a 110 compliant transaction :/ So when the split inevitably happens and a future market forms, 110 will be on the losing end.

Bcash purists - "Bitcoin is cash" BSV purists - "Bitcoin is satoshi's vision" Knots/110 Purists - "Bitcoin is money" We've heard it all before. Ideology after ideology. When people are unhappy with what bitcoin is they try to change it using fear, ideology and anti-core rhetoric but bitcoin changes you, you don't change bitcoin. The reality is bitcoin is, and that is enough.
