In this whole controversy about OP_RETURN limits, I wish everyone could question themselves: does this action I'm taking helps make Bitcoin a better money? I think that's the actual frustration behind the actions of many - being unable to stay focused on a simple, noble goal.

I've been reflecting on the current state of the Bitcoin Core repository and am still working through what concrete points I can add to the discussion that would be of value. But one lesson I can share right away - something the 2015-2017 Blocksize Wars taught me - is this: 1. Always try to move in the direction of aligning your own truth with objective truth. 2. As you do that, pay close attention to who genuinely engages with you (even through respectful disagreement), versus who simply uses the trend to tear you (or others) down in order to boost themselves. The difference between good-faith engagement and opportunistic attacks is everything.

I've recently been going through the code of @Boltz - Non-Custodial Bitcoin Bridge plugin for @BTCPay Server, what jackstar12 & @Kilian have done there is an absolutely l33t engineering. It's a literal crime against humanity that what they've done was not featured more in Bitcoin media. If you are a C# developer who wants to get into Bitcoin, just clone this repository, study it, and you'll pretty much have all the necessary pieces to seriously contribute to the ecosystem.

gm, worked together with @kukks, @npub1zfyt...m60l, Di and many others on the multisig in @BTCPay Server for months. I'm thrilled it's finally out & anyone can now easily use it on their instance. Keep sharing feedback; we'll keep adding improvements!

gm, buy Bitcoin like your humanity depends on it. Because - it literally does. Soon, AI will be much better at "being social online" than humans are.
