this is making the rounds on twitter, rightfully so. absolutely hilarious stuff. the fact people like this exist (“i have no clue what’s going on but im going to double down, proudly proclaim ignorance, and loudly defend that you don’t know either”) is an absolute blessing. thank you for your service!

Pierre Rochard knows how mining works.

maybe this helps: the question is not, how much bitcoin settles on-chain at any time t? the question is, if I want to send an on-chain transaction right now at time t, how much will it cost and how assured can I be it will settle? and once you start asking it like this you will see that there is not any sort of security budget issue or empty blocks issue, complete nonstarters

how did i forget etfs in my list of adoption waves smh

every “adoption wave” is actually just different levels of grift speed running their own hype cycle into irrelevance (ICOs/shitcoins/rugpull exchanges/nfts on bitcoin!/btc treasury/sbr) but the public nature of the network captures attention at the fringes and maxis are born. this is why only the bottoms matter.

one day, 1 day will equal one day, 1 day

maths/ 2B people adopt bitcoin 1 on-chain tx per year 2e9 / 365 / 144 = 38,052 transactions per block this is >10x capacity. 🤔 if this were within an order of magnitude i could see ossification being more tenable but 10x is a lot. so yes let’s return to vault talk now please!

every time money changes hands there is a transaction that occurred. that transaction involved a buyer and a seller. a market price was calculated for a rendered service and settled by the transaction. no exceptions :)

the logic of violence forever trumps the logic of logic

allow me to dictate how this works because I am the authority^TM here: 21 sat zap = 1 like any other amount = specific v4v determination of your content’s worth 1 like = acknowledgment that i’ve seen your post and will not further reply, did not actually like it enough to zap comment = specific 1:1 discussion point to the OP repost = i agree and literally could not have said it better myself quote = i agree (or disagree) and here is further, general elaboration on the OP any questions?

my actions would indicate a belief that bitcoin goes higher from here

i love when bitcoin moves like this. makes everyone shit their pants it’s so relentless

the best part of this all: seeing hundreds of plebs I’ve never seen before on nostr and twitter hyperspreading bitcoin knowledge and individualism. it’s glorious to see the cyber hornets stirred.

“self-censor because I am right and you are wrong” fucking unbelievable how deep of a hole these core-ons are digging themselves. AGAIN THIS IS ALL COMING FROM A GUY WHO STILL WONT RUN KNOTS. i’m actually so angry. they are so fucking pathetically blind.

2 second solution from Peter Todd: “I recognize that the current development consensus in Core is not reflected in the current community of node runners. We’ve closed the PR due to the ongoing controversy, and instead we are encouraging an ongoing educational discussion surrounding the specific nature of OP_RETURN transactions and why we believe this is the best path forward.”

hey you. you should be zapping more. that’s all for now!

i can *feel* further fractioning of the “bitcoin community”. i guess it’s good but it is wild to watch happen (and technically be a part of)

when do the Core-ons realize they are a meme?

this guy is on an all-timer

better from twitter.. two plebs accidentally stab the issue in the heart:
