TIL that in 2014, every Core Dev and their startup somehow had full situational awareness of the provenance of their funding sources and moral clarity comparable to February 2026 internet armchair ethicists. And that is why we need a purge. Certainly not because Luke has a contentious alternative node implemention. No, its because its the right thing to do. View quoted note →

Would somebody please explicity spell out the absolute worst thing about the Jeffrey Epstein files' connection to bitcoin? Please make sure you flag the sensitive content, because the way some of you are talking it sounds particularly DAMNING for Core/Blockstream et all.

Position: FiX tHe mOneY, FIx thE wOrLd!!1! Also: Jeffrey Epstein funded the fixing of the money. Conclusion: Jeffrey Epstein fixed the world.

Okay monero and knots tards (and it almost exclusively them). Please show me the smoking gun email connecting Epstein to Bitcoin Core's compromise, and go into excruciating detail about what you think happened.

Why am I up so early in the morning? My dog had a seizure. They are becoming more frequent. After the seizure, she's disoriented and a little scared, and eventually gains enough mobility to climb the dog stairs next to the bed, burrow under the blanket, and sleep next to me. She's not a particularly nice dog, her Chihuahua senility getting the best of her most of the time. So these moments of her vulnerability and trust in me are kind of precious. I think about her younger years, and how uncontrollably excited she was to see me whenever I visited. I like to think there's still that piece of her left as she snores next to me.

I don't know what it is about high elevation, but it turns a lot of people into wellness/spiritual cranks.

The hardest part about bitcoin is resisting the urge to just sit on your hands and not do anything fucky with it, no matter how many numbskulls at the meetup talk about how awesome it is to stick a fork in a light socket. View quoted note →

OMG u gaiz did you see the email where Epstein blackmails Adam Back unless he kneecaps bitcoin scaling and privacy? Because it doesn't fucking exist.

People talking about the Epstein emails being fake ... isn't this what DKIM signatures are for?

Honestly, when someone shows off their AI shit, all I can hear in my head is my 10 year old self showing off my Transformers collection to my long-suffering relatives at Christmas. View quoted note →

Women use AI. You wouldn't know it, though, because they don't run around on social media like it's a goddamned AI show n tell.

You can just ignore this nerd AI shit and go shoot a gun.

Every so often, I like to dust an old game off the shelf that I've never completed, and proceed to domainate it. Happy to say that, after 17 years of owning it, I have 100%ed New Super Mario Bros Wii. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
