I am a writer and podcaster chronicling the raw journey of surrendered faith amid the daily grit of caregiving. I explore how obedience in the small things uncovers the vastness of God's Kingdom, one honest word at a time. Β«Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.Β» Romans 12:2 ESV

One will be driven by fiat metrics….for a little while. The other will preserve our time and be driven by people who actually use it. πŸ‘€πŸ˜³πŸ€”

Some day in the not too distant future, there will be a version of #bitcoin that is primarily owned by institutions for the benefit of investors. It will basically be another stock. There will be another version of bitcoin that is owned primarily by people who use it, as it was originally intended to be used….a purely peer to peer decentralized network. πŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘€πŸ˜³

It is hard to see a blessing while you are still bleeding. But I propose that the failure of the BIP-110 fork is exactly that. This weekend tore away a veil. We finally see the battlefield we have been standing on. We now know the legacy core chain has been captured. It likely has been captured since before BIP-148. Many of us were lulled to sleep. We believed the project was decentralized enough to enact BIP-148, so BIP-110 would give us the same or better results. We were wrong. That realization is scary. Some of us have years of work stored on this once hopeful medium. Life savings. A legacy we hoped to pass to our children and grandchildren. But knowing the truth early is a relief, not a defeat. The project still lives. We have two paths. We can store our work on the legacy core chain, which the powers that control the centralized choke points can rug-pull at any moment. Or we can continue a different way, knowing the path forward is truly decentralized in every part of the stack. We should expect the attacks to continue. They will not stop. But if there is a will to hold onto an exit path from the extrapulatory fiat systems of empires, then names and hashes may change. In the end, our work will be preserved. This is the optimism I hold. We did not lose. We gained sight. We now know the enemy and where he sits. That knowledge is worth more than a fork that has failed. I thank Matt Kratter, Bitcoin Mechanic, Luke Dash Jr, and all the plebs on this path with a noble heart posture. They are driven by the noblest of intentions. Their work is not wasted. It is seed. πŸ™πŸΏπŸ™πŸΏβœβœπŸ•ŠπŸ•Š
