Congrats to every fence-sitter on the spam issue.
Bitcoin is now officially used predominantly for non-financial purposes.
If you’re economically illiterate — which I suspect most Bitcoiners are — this means Bitcoin’s monetary premium is now being heavily diluted. We can’t comfortably call Bitcoin digital gold anymore when gold’s monetary premium sits around 90%.
In a little more than 3 years, Bitcoin went from ~99% monetary premium — almost perfect money — to arguably below 50%.
We’re heading straight toward the digital silver narrative. If the trend holds, even digital copper won’t sound preposterous.
Still wondering whether we need BIP-110? Keep the blinders on, plebs. You’ll never be free.

I'm sorry you thought "almost perfect money" could be established in under 20 years.
Bitcoin is software; a messaging network. Networks evolve and need time to grow. Your fear of mortality won't change this. Your fear of not being able to control how others use a network won't change this. It does no good blaming others for the fact that you've made the grave mistake of basing your identity/existence on an emergent form of money

Sad times...
A non-existant problem.
no. bitcoin doesn't have a spam issue, it has a lack of economic activity.
use bitcoin as money
You’re proving my point about Bitcoiners being economically illiterate.
It has both problems, the spam one is arguably more immediate.
Who are you to call these non economic? It's not your money.
Never said they were non economic. I said non-financial, which they clearly aren’t.
spam is a gas that fills the container of empty blocks. fees are the solution. satoshi knew this from the start
The only thing that it fills is node’s memory, and it’s not gas, it’s shit.
Get rekt with knots
I'm running knots, but my question is, what happens if BIP 110 fails? Will I be forced to store spam on my node even if I am running knots? Is it the end of the road for bitcoin if 110 isn't adopted?
To be honest, if BIP110 fails to be adopted by say October this year, I think Bitcoin will slowly but irreversibly head to a world of irrelevance, and I’ll probably sell most of my bitcoin around the next ATH.
very disappointed in all the "Bitcoiners" who stay silent on this.
Me too brother
Murdering and being disappointed over the silence is kinda awkward.

Thought experiment move all transactions in and out of micro strategy and all ETFs on chain do any of the problems we currently see fade away?
I don’t see how this fixes anything.
