DriveChans will not be merged.

Bitcoin is not a game or an experiment or an American only preserve. Fallacious arguments, bad analogies, illogic, “I’ve been working on this for six years, therefore it must be merged BECAUSE I’M SPECIAL AND YOU’RE STUPID” simply won’t cut it. Anyone who refuses to prove their code works before adding it to Bitcoin is reckless, selfish and Mind Blind. “If it breaks Bitcoin, we can undo it”, “You don’t have to use it; we can have multiple different clients”….it’s all mentally ill nonsense, spawned by a mind that doesn’t understand that OTHER PEOPLE ARE REAL, and THEY DON’T WANT THEIR MONEY PUT AT RISK FOR YOUR “EXPERIMENT”. The lack of consideration for others and the money they’re storing on Bitcoin is breathtaking...shocking, actually. And the pattern is clear; privileged parochial Americans think they can use Bitcoin as a personal plaything and its users lab rats in their “Experiment”. HORRIBLE!

Elon Musk has sold his Bitcoin and will no doubt be using an altcoin, maybe even the explicitly diabolical WorldCoin in Twitter(X). This scene from the film "Demon Seed" sums it up perfectly... "Gentlemen, I must ask you to be completely quiet now. Whatever the machine sees or hears in this room, it can never forget. Proteus, this is Dr. Harris. Can you see me? Yes, I can see you, Dr. Harris. (Dr. Harris opens book on Chinese Emperor Qin Shihuangdi) Ah, your favorite emperor. What do you think of this...enigmatic man? Nothing. Nothing? Have you no answer? "Nothing" is the answer. The emperor's business enterprises, his wall building and book burning, are opposite terms in an equation. The net result is exactly zero." This scene calculating the ultimate value of the rule of Qin Shihuangdi is both the absolute essence and guaranteed ultimate outcome of Elon Musk's enterprises. His reckless infantilism, refusal to accept the truth, over eagerness to please, ill tempered reactions to being corrected, inability to empathise with others, lack of discernment, inability to grasp scale, refusal to seek the good over his own interests all condemn him to this calculation. Everything good that he does is counterbalanced by something evil that he does, in this case, rejecting Bitcoin, the solution to the biggest systemic problem facing mankind; the problem of fiat money, to the potential harm of billions of people. It is entirely wrong to expect one man to change his character and "rescue" the world; the need for heroes is a character flaw many suffer from. That being said, the need for heroes doesn't prevent math from working, and the equation here that sums to zero applies to the affairs of Elon Musk. And for the record, Bitcoin, Bitcoiners, the billions of people on earth who need sound money and all things like that will continue and thrive without Elon Musk, and WorldCoin, CBDCs, fiat money and every other anti-Bitcoin machination will fail. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F3zLY74XgAABO9P?format=jpg&name=large

If anyone interested in Bitcoin's aims wants Bitcoin to succed, they're going to have to temper their OCD impulses and understand the true nature and severity of threats. There is a never ending list of potential threats both demonstrated and theoretical that can harm people, but the truth of the matter is non linear and related to scale. Micro$soft Winblows was known to be insecure out of the box for decades. The NSA had encryption keys delivered with every copy of Winblows, sold or pirated. Winblows 10 is the most popular version of Winblows, with over 1 billion active users. That means there are a billion people on an insecure operating system that violates their privacy and their rights. And yet... The world keeps spinning. People make use of the Internets. Passwords get stolen, people lose data, but none of it is enough to stop all the systems that rely on Winblows and the users. Everyone is getting their work done, being paid, managing their money and living normal lives. And this is the key. You can live a normal life if you use Micro$soft Winblows. It doesn't matter that it is imperfect, or that someone can get your password just by hearing you type Blink182 on your keyboard. Security is a good thing, and it is better to be more secure, but it is not the purpose of computers and using them to get work done. Bering this in mind, what is the utility of spreading fear to ordinary people who are easily frightened and who take the word of experts as gospel? Who does it help to tell people that if they type in their own homes, someone can reconstruct their private writing? What's worse is telling people this and then not offering any answer other than, "BE VERY FRIGHTENED". This relates directly to Bitcoin, in case you didn't know. If these same people are listened to, no one would ever touch Bitcoin, because they see the world only in terms of threats and negative outcomes that are grossly exaggerated. The vast majority of people will never experience any problem with Bitcoin, just as the vast majority of iPhone users never experience any problems. Since the iPhone 1, 2.4 billion iPhones have been sold world-wide. This is a staggering number of satisfied customers. Bitcoiners (or at least, people claiming to be Bitcoiners) must think before they open their mouths to spread FUD about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is very safe, just like the iPhone is, and if the tools being used on it are well written and designed, Bitcoin can be very safe; certainly safe enough to change the world. Part of what's coming with "Consumer Bitcoin is"If you're not already mitigating the risk of someone *hearing* you type your passwords, you should probably start...

Part of what's coming with Consumer Bitcoin is the diminishing of the hysterical, anti-human, deranged and delusional voices that cast the light of fear on Bitcoin, replacing them with Apple style thinking and attitudes which are pro consumer from the bottom up. This change in culture, or more accurately, the replacement of Bitcoin Culture, is going to form an essential part of the mass onboarding. the diminishing of the hysterical, anti-human, deranged and delusional voices that cast the light of fear on Bitcoin, replacing them with Apple style thinking and attitudes which are pro consumer from the bottom up.

WORLD COIN THREAD

Layer 2 is for spending. Layer 1 is for storing. Layer 2 doesn’t have to be non custodial; this is an anti-consumer Bitcoin Cult Narrative that doesn’t take practicality or Bitcoins future into account. The Cult doesn’t care about utility for ordinary users; all they care about is the narrative on paper in specifications. Wallet of Satoshi is growing fast and is super reliable, serving the consumer brilliantly. Users needing long term storage can leverage other tools that are non custodial. Solving people’s problems is key; they need both to spend AND to store. Specifications on paper are not the way to judge the benefits of designs for consumers; fulfilling the needs of real people is the actual test. And Wallet of Satoshi is passing that test. BIGLY.

LOL, we’re winning.

View quoted note → By definition innovation comes before people are ready for it. This is true of any new idea, to a degree. From air fryers to air conditioners to air travel, it takes time for innovations to spread and get insinuated into the economy. What’s different about Bitcoin is the delusional resistance to facts and rationality that some Bitcoiners exhibit. They act like socialists, members of a cult and people who want to keep Bitcoin small so that their prominence remains high. Thankfully it only takes a small number of “crazy” people to get big things done bigly.

The WorldCoin scam is onboarding one person every 8 seconds. At that rate it will take 1880 years to get everyone on earth into the slave grid. Why then do “Bitcoiners” think they can beat snd outflank WC by providing ✅ Concierge services ✅ Onboarding ✅ Education To Bitcoin companies? If onboarding people to BTC requires a Concierge or Education or a manager for onboarding, how long do you think it will take critical mass to be reached? Bitcoiners have a fundamental problem; understanding the scale of the Fiat Currency problem. It would be nice to read a single idea describing how the install rate for Bitcoiners can exceed the WC rate before they flood the market with Phantasm spheres, which are no doubt being by mass manufactured as you read this.

While Altman is onboarding one person every 8 seconds, brain dead Bitcoiners are gushing about another book. “Simple Minded” doesn’t come close to covering how delusional this is.

Virtue Signalling Community Hustlers whine about “Slavery Tech” while cowering like simpletons when it comes to investing in services that are designed to make people free. Deploying millions of dollars into navel gazing will not protect anyone; “Freedom Tech” doesn’t help anyone if no one can get it or use it, genius. This lesson was learned in the PGP days. You can have “Freedom Tech” in the form of a tool that makes email absolutely private, but if it isn’t consumer used, no one can be helped by it. The principles behind PGP needed WhatsApp to bring privacy to a billion people and the same will and must happen in Bitcoin. If you’re not helping companies dedicated to doing this, creating, “The WhatsApp of Bitcoin”, you’re just masturbating, Virtue Signalling and LARPing. You’re not helping anyone, and you’re giving the enemy time to roll out WorldCoin and CDBCs. The people behind WorldCoin are not a bunch of stupid losers hiding under baseball hats for “OPSEC”. They’re lethal killers who want to reach consumers and they know how to use money and aren’t living like frightened rabbits. They’re not Virtue Signallers, they’re Killer Go Getters.

No one should be surprised by this. The Coin Center Clowns think by analogy only, and therefore can’t make the proper air tight legal arguments and apply the correct “slam dunk” case law. They’re pathetic. And dangerous. And represent only themselves.

Bitcoin is not a movement of any kind. It is not a cult or a club. It will only succeed because people stop hiding under baseball hats and being cowards and thinking Bitcoin is a movement. The option for Bitcoin to win will not be set by cowards hiding their faces in basements and thinking “podcasts” are Bitcoin. If Bitcoiners were behind the first consumer computers, people would still be using Slide Rules. Thankfully a small handful of realistic, non cult, intelligent, risk embracing people are working with Bitcoin to make its promise come true. It’s not a game for them. It’s not all hot air and posturing. Grow up, or fail! Stop dancing the safety dance!
