Initial block download on Core 30 is way faster 🙌

Coinkite is implementing CODEX32 from Polestra?! So f***** excited to try that! Agree with @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 on Bitkey marketing campaign - FUDing seeds while being able to block (no pun intended) exit of funds during some kind of regulatory action is an unfortunate direction. Hope that gets better.

The 20k limit on stable coins backlash on the UK seems misplaced. Remind me why a limit on CBDC usage is a bad thing?

Forgot about Perl. I once spent 30 days straight writing Perl for 18 hours a day. A single file, one massive file i think. Hell.

I’m observing the group chat on the fork. There’s like 500 new messages every time I check telegram - if this was work I’d definitely be getting everyone on a zoom call to thrash it out - in fact it deserves an offsite.

Erratic Bitcoin discourse and opinion is a superpower.

Tone Vays Knots vs Core podcasts are amazing. My first impressions from years ago when I just saw him talk about price were wrong. Hope to see more from Vays.

The Gmail Ad model is hilarious- if you turn off “personalized ads” based on your data then they just fire ads at you that are clearly based on your data but you can’t dismiss them.

I’ve never been to Steak and Shake but they should have a sats back reward program named… STEAK’N’STACK

Ocean Pool > Attacks on Bitcoin

Things like BIP 444 seem so utterly ridiculous that the psyop appears to be that they exist in the first place. Are there is any significant portion of bitcoiners that are that dumb?? Who the would believe Justin Bechler? But people like Samson or Knut - that’s where it gets really disappointing- seriously guys? Maybe I’m the IQ 80 in this simulation but don’t think so. Luke just appears to be a conservative control freak. It’s so confusing how any of this works apart from staying humble and stacking sats. Which is why I’m liked bitcoin in the first place - everyone hates each other but it still keeps working!

Dear OG whales on Nostr, the tradfi gangsters appear to be pulling the rug on the price they are acculturating your coins at. Please refuse to sell any below 500k (make em pay) and pass this on to your fellow whales in the Telegram group chat. Thanks in advance.

Maybe humans were not meant to network at scale, beyond a few family units where we could mediate and influence outcomes. The dystopia comes from being able to connect and influence at scale without the biological guardrails to prevent sociopathy from succeeding.
