Mempool protocol and block consensus protocol are two different protocols with different implications when changed.
As long as we're using the same consensus protocol, we're all bitcoiners.
Thnx @Tidwell for this apt framing of the recent controversy.

Orange Party - A Third Way Forward
The Orange Party represents a peaceful, technology-driven path beyond traditional left-right politics through Bitcoin and free speech.
At one time, we all thought ‘cash was king’, but now we realize the dollar is immoral, even evil, for the sheer scale of theft the fiat currency enables. King? Tyrannical dictator is more like it. We were forced to use it because there was no viable alternative, but not anymore. Now we have an option and we will hotly pursue it like honey badger don’t care.

Great Consensus Cleanup notes from today.


Code is law.
Sv2 will be the next mining protocol. It's happening. 🤝
Talked about covenants today. What they are conceptually and then sole light details on op codes for it.
Learned a ton about previous soft forks.
SegWit and Taproot were two massive engineering shifts. Adding new data structures and script interpretation logic.
Comparing those changes to covenants proposal. Covenant op_codes are way less "changing" to bitcoin since it's not an engine change. It's just one of option for bitcoin script, which is how users decide how their UTXOs are spent.
I wonder if covenants can disallow op_return use in future spends? 🤔
Virtue signaling will continue until technical node understanding improves.

Lol. Saylor supporting Knots wasn't on my bingo card.
Him prefacing it with a monologue about protocol changes when knots uses the same protocol was cherry on top.
