I’m going to share and spread the #knots word until all of this #core(rupt) shit blows over, could be years. Everyone is starting to speak out about this as #core(rupt) v30 release approaches. Something is truly amiss within the #core(rupt) dev team, they are now assets to the state. Y(our) way to fight back is to bring more #knots nodes online. Or, at the very least, do not upgrade to #core(rupt) v30. Again, if you give a glimpse of a fuck about #bitcoin, run a #knots node. If you’re still thinking this won’t affect you and you can just be a passenger, you’re wrong. This is as big a fight as the blocksize wars, if not bigger tbh. Prominent voices are speaking out now, this is not fringe. It will affect anyone involved in #bitcoin at any level. 🏃 #knots to cast your vote to keep #bitcoin as pure money only. https://youtu.be/j_e31Nl726U

Not that I have evangelized Saylor, but he did say the biggest threat to #bitcoin is human tinkering (with the code). And here we are, douchebag devs and VC interests tinkering with the code (OP_Return limit). Making changes no one wants, completely unnecessary, suspiciously rushed, and truly a massive attack surface to the very foundation of the #bitcoin network, the transactional layer. Spin up a #knots node, configure it properly, keep your mempool tidy. Fuck these #core(rupt) people, they are not working in your or #bitcoin ‘s interest. The sooner more plebs understand this, the better chance we have to fight this attack.

I find “The #bitcoin way” to be a reputable company. They’re taking the side of #knots. That’s because that’s how all decent, freedom-loving bitcoiners feel about the situation… Get on the right side of history and protect the #bitcoin network, run a #knots node! Yes, you. Do it now ffs. There’s a lot at stake. https://youtu.be/0ubs-IzlTWQ

Some #bitcoin prudence: -Consolidate UTXOs in low fee environments. -Keep your stack(s) in a wallet(s) controlled by you. Spend and replace as needed (use lighting or liquid for small transactions). -Keep your largest stack frosty cold in a multi-sig wallet. -Run and maintain your own full node using #knots, not #core. -Connect all of your wallets to said node. -DCA keeps inflation away -HODL full throttle -Set up solo mining rigs when and wherever possible and point to the Ocean mining pool. -Most importantly, BTFD. #Bitcoin

It doesn’t get much simpler than this video…. It’s even a cartoon. For anyone saying the node policy debate doesn’t matter, or worse yet, taking the side of the core(rupt) update coming next month, you’re an enemy of #bitcoin. Whether through ignorance, corruption, apathy, or any other undesirable trait, gfy. #knots nodes are now almost 23% of the network, the people are waking up. The only ngu that matters this cycle is this number. Run a #knots node and break it off in the core(rupt) spammers a** This is our beloved #bitcoin we’re talking about here, let’s beat these MFers ✌️ https://youtu.be/Hp0hzB_GP40

#Bitcoin gives autonomy, dignity, and sovereignty back to the individual. With that power, the individual assumes the duty and responsibility to protect their freedom. It has always been this way. With more rights and liberties comes more duty. The age old question… Be a slave to the system and leave all decisions and consequence to your master, or gain and diligently defend your right to sovereignty and autonomy as a free individual. Neither condition is a simple road... But one is the essence of human existence and the other is an unnatural submission to the evils of others. Choose #bitcoin and defend your freedom.

#Bitcoin is a monetary network, not a data and spam repository. Apparently that’s controversial to say these days. Run #knots and chill.

A nice simple 5 minute video for those of you who give af about #bitcoin and the #bitcoin network. If people allow #core to blow out the OP_Return data limit to 100kb then expect the deepest red candles from hell and a network that ends up with CP on its blockchain. It happened to BSV in the exact same way, so don’t say it can’t or won’t happen, there is already precedence. State level actors would love nothing more than to desecrate the #bitcoin time chain with something like CP. 100kb of data allows for this kind of nasty shit to be propagated throughout the network. Run #knots on your own full node. I’ll be saying this until #core 30 comes out. We’ll see how it all shakes out but this is a serious and fucked up issue. Get your shit together and run a #knots node! https://youtu.be/dbfv4gl7qxs

If you have any amount of your time and value parked into #bitcoin , you need to watch this video and act. This OP_Return shit that core devs are trying to pull has the potential to nuke #bitcoin as we know it. I’ve been HODLing #bitcoin for many years but this shit presents very serious issues for my conviction in the #bitcoin network if #knots doesn’t overtake #core very soon. 100kb is enough space for the most heinous and unspeakable images, video, or audio to be immutably recorded onto the most pristine blockchain on earth. If we, as the #bitcoin community allow this to happen because people are too lazy and complacent to spin up a node and run #knots , then we never deserved #bitcoin at all. This attack vector is sneaky and it could be detrimental, don’t just think everything will be fine…run #knots and rise to the occasion. It will require all of us. https://youtu.be/2t0J9jq5q_A

The “ #bitcoin will be fine,” and “ #bitcoin will win,” and “ #bitcoin doesn’t care” attitudes towards the #knots vs #core debate is getting aggravating to say the least… If you think that the most robust, most secure, most decentralized, and trustless monetary network that directly threatens the power and relevancy of the global fiat cabal doesn’t require diligence and guardianship from us, the people, you’re simply wrong. Run your own node, be sovereign, run #knots . This is not a drill, this is not alarmist, we are in the “then they fight you” stage right now and this is the battle line. Get real about who and what we bitcoiners are fighting against. They identified centralization in the node software we were all using ( #core )and it’s being manipulated to subvert the ideals and principles of the #bitcoin network that we all HODL for. If you haven’t already, familiarize yourself with the issue and get proactive and run your own node, and ffs, run #knots NOT rotten #core.

CALL TO ACTION: I hope everyone here on #nostr recognizes the importance of operating your own #bitcoin full node. It’s getting more and more dire to run a node using #knots and not #core. #bitcoin is the best money mankind has ever devised and it is (and always will be) up to us plebs to protect it. Bitcoin core devs are state captured, they do not have our interest in mind. They are proposing to increase the OP_Return data limit from ~83 bytes to 100KB. This is a massive concern for anyone using the #bitcoin network to store value and/or utilize as a sovereign monetary peer-to-peer network. The state will not relinquish control over the fiat hamster wheel easily, and it seems they have found an attack vector via the centralized software implementation of bitcoin core for individual node runners. There was nothing wrong with bitcoin core until somewhat recently, but the devs have been compromised and are now making filter changes (not consensus rule changes, the filter configuration changes they are making don’t require a hard or soft fork) that have the potential to destroy private bitcoin nodes. Without nodes, there is no decentralization. There are plenty of resources to get a node set up using knots. Run a node, use bitcoin knots, stack sats, stay free. #bitcoin #knots

When I discover in conversation that someone hodl’s #bitcoin I immediately gain respect for that individual. It indicates to me that you have self-respect, critical-thinking, patience, intelligence, humility, perspective, confidence, knowledge, and that we have an endless array of topics that we can discuss. If the contents of further discussions changed my interpretation, so be it… Stack and hodl #bitcoin either way, even (especially) if you’re a douche. The corn will change you for the better in due time.

When fiat currencies inevitably collapse (and they will), no amount will be exchanged for #bitcoin. It would be like trading your labor for raw sewage… That would effectively bring the price of #bitcoin to zero in every central bank denominated currency. So the higher the #bitcoin price goes in fiat, the closer it gets to zero in fiat... Right? 🤨🤔 So, I suppose #bitcoin really is going to zero 😏 Better stack sats before the crash, folks.

The only investment better than #bitcoin is physical health. Maintaining and improving the health of the body you occupy will yield the greatest returns in the long term. Stack sats and exercise.

Well I finally sold all of my #bitcoin and took the profits and bought #eth , #xrp , #sol , and #ada . I’m keeping it all on the exchange of course. I also had enough left to buy a #gold etf, an s&p 500 index fund, and of course a shit ton of different treasury bonds. Then I took the rest and put it in a CD savings account where they will pay me .05% on it! 🫠🫠🫠 Can you fucking imagine?

What quantity of #bitcoin do you suppose will be considered a “whale” in 10 years from now?
