This battle, between the plebs and the state's infiltration of Bitcoin, is a microcosm of the larger war between Bitcoin and the fiat system. However this battle goes, I expect it to be a smaller version of how the larger war will go.

"BIP110ers only have a few days to get the 55% miner support they need." ...siiigh... No, that's not how any of this works. We only have a few days until we start enforcing BIP110, whether miners like it or not. Miners only have a few days before we start rejecting their blocks.

I got into Bitcoin after reading the Creature From Jekyll Island, but I stayed (and chose my username) after reading @Saifedean Ammous' book and learning about time preference.

Today my wife and I celebrated our 20th anniversary. The last 2 decades have gone by so fast! But still:

Today's Fact of the Day on @Satsman - Master Bitcoin, Master Yourself 🟠💊🌏⚡️: "MicroStrategy (now Strategy) holds over 500,000 Bitcoin ..." And my answer to the Daily Poll: Yes, "Self-custody matters".

Today's Fact of the Day on @Satsman - Master Bitcoin, Master Yourself 🟠💊🌏⚡️ just casually gave free advertising for @npub1ex7m...vyt9 on a platform used by 31k+ Bitcoin learners. @jack mallers, Strike may want to consider getting a week of more ad space here: satsman.com/corporate-sponsors Just a suggestion. 😉

There seem to be 2 kinds of people who love freedom: - Those who also accept accountability - Those who try to reject accountability This was always the difference with pre-2023 Bitcoiners and shitcoiners. It's the difference with the pro-#BIP110 monetary maxis and Coretards now. Satoshi designed Bitcoin to be digital money that's inextricably linked to (and dependant on) reality. He understood that freedom without accountability isn't really freedom at all. Vitalik created Ethereum because he wanted a system where he set ALL the rules, reality be damned. Those with high time preference believe that Vitalik's version of "freedom", free from all accountability or connection to reality, is real freedom. After all, there's no one to stop you. You can do literally whatever you want. You are a god of your own little virtual universe. But those with low time preference know that's a lie. They know that no one can escape accountability, and that's a feature, not a bug. They humbly remember that we live in a bigger universe, that accountability is the key to freedom, and that we ignore it at our own peril. So now we have Vitalik-like, high time preference, (m)ETH heads, who call themselves "BiTc0iN MaXiS", screeching about "cEnSoRsHiP" when an extremely conservative soft fork (BIP-110) is about to make it harder for them to rule their little universes without accountability. These useful idiots dump gigabytes of spam on your node, your property, where you're forced to store it forever without getting a sat for it. And if you shut it down, the network is centralized a little more. But they don't care about that; they only care about getting their way. "Run a pruned node" "Your node doesn't matter" "Just don't relay our spam" "Taking Bitcoin back to how it was for 14 years is censorship!" "You must hate freedom if you want Bitcoin to just be freedom money again." They say they love freedom, when they really just hate reality. They'd probably shake their fist at God for creating gravity while they fall from a cliff they just stepped away from. They undoubtedly get SO frustrated when they can NEVER force 2+2 to equal 5. The universe must hate freedom! It must be pro-censorship! It's all so tiring. 🙄 But ultimately, such people don't matter. From Michael Saylor to that troll with 9 followers and a monkey jpeg avatar who just called you a retard, they're all the same. They've each chosen to touch the stove of accountability over and over again, rather than just humbly learn. Bitcoin will continue to move forward and prove all the Peter Schiffs and the Elizabeth Warrens and the Dan Peñas all wrong. And it will similarly prove all the Vitaliks, and the Andy Backs, and the Portland HODLs all wrong, too. They can either get over themselves & profit, or... not. Bitcoin is money. Money is the foundation of civilization. Fix the money, fix the world. But burden the money, centralize control over it by discouraging the running of nodes, and dilute its functionality with other "use cases", and you break the money. ... and therefore the world.

Today's Fact of the Day and Orange Pill Poll on @Satsman: Nodes enforce Bitcoin's supply schedule, but also all other rules in Bitcoin's protocol. If you run a node, YOU are in charge of Bitcoin, and miners, developers, and exchanges work for YOU, full stop. If you're not running your own node, then you're trusting a stranger's node to tell you what Bitcoin is and isn't.

Today's Fact of the Day and Orange Pill Poll on @Satsman: The miners' economic incentives make it so they work for the node runners, not the other way around. This is why the only way for #BIP110 to fail would be for the miners to somehow ignore those incentives. It's not impossible, but it's incredibly improbable.

A friendly reminder that today marks 250 years since we were last at this point in the Revolutionary Cycle... And the convergence of several other cycles at their turning points, including a 500-year Awakening cycle (not pictured). Happy 4th of July. Buckle up.

Today's Fact of the Day and Orange Pill Poll on @Satsman: For the poll, I almost chose the first option, but then I remembered: when widespread Bitcoin adoption happens (assuming we fix the spam problem and Bitcoin doesn't turn into Ethereum), its price won't flatten out, but will continue to rise with global GDP. So it'll never be boring! I stacked 21 sats from answering each of these, along with more sats from the Sats Price Discovery, and the SatsCypher and SatsStack games!
