Maybe I’m retarded but I fail to see this PR being a fatal blow? Is bitcoin really that fragile? If you don’t like it can’t you simply continue to run the version of core before the merge or run Bitcoin knots? If you are unsure or like the change you run the new version. If it causes more usage of blockspace isn’t that good for miners and fee market? If it doesn’t was it really as big as an issue as everyone thought?

The way we free the world is by freeing ourselves. The outer is a reflection or the inner. Focus on yourself and your thoughts through the will. True leadership is through example not force.

@Lawrence Lepard just started the big print today, been a while since I picked up a “Bitcoin book” but looking forward to this one.

SPFM is the metric to grow

Congrats to anyone who stacked sub $80K this year. This is one reason I believe you should never be 100 in as your miss these opportunities. I used to think being “all in” was the only way to be, not anymore.

One use case for lightning I would love to see is low fee/low spread bitcoin lightning ATMs. Currently Bitcoin ATMs have astronomical fees and/or spread and can be slow depending on confirmation time. Being able to on/off with cash and no KYC with low fees would be awesome.
