It would be really anticlimactic if Bitcoin failed because bitcoiners didn’t stand up against people who represented everything Bitcoin was created to overturn. Whether we win or lose we must stand up, even if only to avoid an anticlimactic end to this beautiful story. But I think this beautiful story deserves a beautiful ending - one of triumph of good over evil, rationality over madness, peace over war. And, indeed, if we stand up and discover that standing up is all it takes to achieve that end, we will get the climactic victory that is the real prize we’re here for.

Definitely not with core. Leaning more strongly towards BIP110.

If you are saying “oh STRC is down 12%, I should get some” Bitcoin is down 50%!!! Get some of that.

Bitcoiners will hold through a 70% drawdown then get nervous spending $4 on coffee.

That’s why I don’t get why people spew so much fud about where we’re at

Bitcoin is fucking important. That’s why I bother.

If an American tells you that "Bitcoin self-custody is too hard," just ask them where we'd be if our Founding Fathers had felt that a revolution against the most powerful empire in history was also "too hard." C'mon guys, we have self-sovereignty easy.

Aye, I like this

BTC treasury companies hurt Bitcoin adoption by onboarding a lot of newcomers into stonks that should have been onboarded into BTC in self-custody. Families that own BTC in self-custody will be able to survive the great monetary reset, while brokerage accounts and bank accounts get wiped out or marked down or confiscated. BTC treasury companies also create large pools of BTC at large regulated custodians where they can be rehypothecated and used to suppress price, or ultimately 6102's like FDR did with American's gold in 1933. BTC treasury cos will be remembered as a gimmick and a grift. Operating companies like Apple replacing their cash and Treasuries with BTC is what real corporate adoption looks like. But all retail investors should be onboarded onto the real thing-- BTC

Bear markets separate true Bitcoiners from Tourists.

bitcoin is the best money

Don’t know with certainty if BIP 110 will succeed. Will still run it anyway to at least try do what I think is good for Bitcoin. Success means the network is decentralized. Failure means the network is decentralized. But I dare say, I am impressed that more and more 110 blocks are being found.

No but deadass. I never thought we’d see these prices again, and I’m so happy to be able to buy more

You want Bitcoin to pump so you can feel right. I want Bitcoin to drop so I can buy more. We are not the same.

Congratulations on being the 21st BIP110 block @Roughnecks110

Uh . . . Another one

There will come a day where being a whole coiner will be the distinction of a billionaire vs multimillionaire.

Congratulations to $MSTR shareholders on getting diluted. You now own fewer BTC per share than you did last week. The preferred shareholders thank you for your sacrifice!

Exactly what the financial-industrial complex is doing with Bitcoin right now. They want to custody your Bitcoin while encouraging you to lever up and borrow against it, so they can margin-call you when they scoop it up on the cheap. They want BlackRock, Strategy, Coinbase, or a Cantor-connected Bitcoin treasury company to hold your Bitcoin. They want your Bitcoin wrapped in Michael Saylor, Brandon Lutnick, Adam Back, David Bailey, Jack Mallers, Steve Witkoff, Eric Trump, or Donald Trump Jr. instead of held in your own self-custody. Understand the difference between owning Bitcoin and owning a financial product built around Bitcoin. One moves you closer to sovereignty. The other moves Bitcoin closer to the financial-industrial complex. Your choice.

The easiest way to lose conviction: Watch the price and engage with unverified FUDDERS. The easiest way to gain conviction: Study the asset. Nothing about Bitcoin has changed from 16k, to 126k, back to 61k. Scarce, borderless, sovereignty at a global scale.
