Bitcoin's so boring right now I might have to double down on trolling the Knotzi death cult just to spice things up. It is a death cult now, BTW, because they're gonna fork themselves off the network in the fall. 🍿🍿🍿🍿

Nobody wants that but Core and its defenders can’t seem to pull up a good enough reason as to why they insist on allowing dogshit on our blockchain so we have to assume they have intentions outside improving the network. Their mandate is to mostly leave it the fuck alone unless there is broad consensus for a change. They’ve clearly stepped outside of this mandate.
I hope your right.. I think those in the know are self aware enough to know their fork would fail so they will never actually go through with it. They will just fud, complain and fear monger for as long as they can remain relevant so probably going to get used to it for the next few years. Feels bad man.
🤔 Consensus limits are enforced to prevent abuse. Game theory can’t price in long-term state bloat because it’s an externality. Taproot and witness discounts distorted incentives by subsidizing arbitrary data. Game theory doesn’t imply the network abandons nodes that correct misaligned incentives. Game theory assumes aligned incentives and internalized costs. Arbitrary data breaks this: benefits accrue to a few publishers while long-term costs are pushed onto all future node operators. That’s not an equilibrium — it’s an externality. Preventing consensus abuse isn’t censorship. Censorship resistance protects spending money, not subsidizing arbitrary data. Neutrality doesn’t mean “anything forever.”

Well, you didn’t address my points at all so you must be talking to someone else.
If you think anyone is "allowing dogshit" then you're clearly under the impression that you can disallow it. Sorry you don't understand censorship resistance.
Because I've exhausted what can be learned from those projects. Thus they also became boring. The short version is if there's not much innovation / new stuff happening in an ecosystem then there's not much to learn. There's far more going on in the nostr ecosystem than the bitcoin ecosystem these days.
As evidenced by the wide variety of side projects I've done over the years, I have plenty of free time. I do play racquet sports and have non-Bitcoin hobbies, might be time to pick up some new ones.

Respect boundaries and leave Brittany alone. Theres times where standing still and doing nothing is the right survival path.
