People keep asking why Bitcoin core are increasing the OP_RETURN limit from 80 bytes to 100,000 bytes with a consensus ceiling of 4 MB and deprecating the -datacarriersize config. The answer’s simple. When you’re funded by the likes of Bitmain, Butfury, BTCC, Blockstream etc. all of whom profit from higher fees, either directly or indirectly, the motivation becomes crystal clear. 💵 Core’s been compromised. The rot started with taproot and the greed’s only grown since.

So what’s the general consensus on Knots Vs Core on NOSTR?

If you’re considering Crypto, then you may as well also consider a Special Egg Reserve Asset 🥚 #Bitcoin only

The one thing I’m loving in NOSTR, is every post doesn’t start with BREAKING!! or JUST IN!!

Year of the snake. Crypto is the venom. #Bitcoin only.

Why Bitcoin and Crypto are NOT the same *for the uninitiated* Unlike Bitcoin, 99.9% of all Crypto is pre-mined or created out of thin air with huge percentages locked up for the creators, devs and team members. TRUMP coin is the latest example. They are often aggressively marketed and pumped while the creators cash out. This has occurred historically and shockingly with some of the biggest crypto tokens to ever exist - Litecoin, XRP, Ethereum, Cardano… and more. Take XRP for example: Brad Garlinghouse Garlinghouse misrepresented his financial interest in XRP by claiming to be "very, very long XRP" while simultaneously selling millions of XRP coins. Both Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen rug pulled, dumping 1.5 billion in XRP from the escrow accounts at a discount on the speculative markets. This is crypto in a nutshell. So should crypto form part of a federal strategic reserve? Absolutely not. Crypto foundations are formed on lies, deceit and grifting all done by a handful of degenerates with the aim of getting out and getting rich. Now go and research Bitcoin to understand its unique properties as a decentralized, digital currency with a fixed supply, and how these attributes make it fundamentally different from crypto and traditional money.

Closing out 2024 with #Bitcoin has been incredible. 2025 will be Epic and Bitcoin looks set to outperform everything on a scale never seen before 🥂

Christmas is that time of year you have a conversation about the value of Bitcoin with family. I just had mine. Good luck guys 👍🍺🎄

Given Elon Musk’s connection to the Meme Coin / shitcoin Doge, I find it pathetic that he came up with ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ or “DOGE” for short. Pump and dump is in full swing at the highest level. #Bitcoin only.

Elon’s next stroke of genius will be the 1895 space elevator concept. If you know you know.

58k 🥱 uptober?

⁃ Elon buys twitter ⁃ Laughs at blue check marks ⁃ “Freedom of speech for everyone” ⁃ Rebrands as X ⁃ Blocks users, ghosts others ⁃ Adds more tiers, increases price ⁃ Removes #Bitcoin hashtag logo ⁃ Adds god mode - Elon sends messages when not even following. C:\

@dave Hey Dave bot, what is the price of #Bitcoin in November 2033?

Money is a medium of exchange - something that has value. 6,000 years ago there were stones and sea shells. But the First real medium of exchange we can relate to in the modern era, is gold and silver. Then ‘they’ developed paper receipts (cash) to exchange the gold because it was faster, transportable and more convenient - liquid. Then ‘they’ developed Visa (the credit card) Even faster and more convenient than cash. People thought it was weird for a long time before credit cards became the norm. #Bitcoin is the next evolution of a better medium of exchange. In, it is so much better than anything ever devised, because it’s the world’s first hard money. It is peer-to-peer, meaning there’s no middle man or centralised entity. Borderless - you can send it anywhere in the world at any time, cheaply and almost instantly. Bitcoin never sleeps, closes or stops. It can transact more payments faster than Visa on the lightning network. Created by Satoshi Nakamoto anonymously and handed to the world, it is mathematically proven and decentralised. It has a limited supply that becomes harder to mine (POW) with time, making it the world’s first deflationary hard money. #Bitcoin is incredible and world changing.

FUN FACT: When RMS Titanic (& RMS Olympic) set sail from Southampton for New York (via Cherbourg, France, Queenstown and Ireland), Passports didn’t exist and people were free to cross border travel. The only prerequisite was a health check - last minute checks were fine and often conducted just prior to boarding if you didn’t have papers. Happy days ☀️

Guys, what’s the best Nostr IOS App? Damus is launching pay to play options with their ‘Purple’ subscription service, which kinda seem anti-Nostr to me.

I’m here for the #Bitcoin hashtag emoji 🧡

Despite the most ridiculous baseless claims and embarrassing defeat in the history of Law and with the potential for criminal prosecution… Craig Wright, the proven fraud (COPA v Wright), also known as Faketoshi, still has the gall to continue trying to deceive online. Incredible.

100 pushups a day until 100k #Bitcoin …10 years later

It's 106 miles to Mar-a-Lago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it!
