Consensus is building that everything in the #Crypto industry other than #Bitcoin is a security, destined to be regulated by the @SECGov. This makes $BTC the only crypto-asset suitable for use as global money. nymag.com/intelligencer/2023…

Is Michael Saylor Cooked?

Reaction to @MrHodl and @w_s_bitcoin on @_DannyKnowles Most notably absent from the podcast is any consideration about what happens if/when BIP110 succeeds. - Core isn't a full node any more - what do they do? - Miners running Core will mine invalid blocks. Do they all run Knots? Does something else manifest? - What happens to the scam companies like Citrea "building" on Bitcoin? Further - is it failed, what would the consequences be for the Bitcoin chain? What can we expect to end up in these permanently normalized large OP_RETURNs? Are you going to run a node if the worst happens in that regard? If the UTXO set continues to blow up with witness abuse and we lose more low end hardware is that a sustainable path?

Bitcoin is insurance against fiat. ZCash is insurance against Bitcoin.

Back in the day of early Bitcoin Twitter, we used to say "few," which was short for "few understand." Nowadays, Bitcoin Twitter is a different beast. First, it's not even Bitcoin Twitter anymore - it's Bitcoin X. Second, many of the most prominent few migrated to Nostr - The Internet's most beautiful clusterfuck. Many of the few of the few that remained did what many of the few had done before them - they sneakily became shitcoiners, because they simply didn't have the multiple-decade-spanning patience required for Bitcoin's don't-get-poor-slowly mechanism to play out properly. Out of the few of the few of the few that were left, many didn't acknowledge the shitconers' most devious attack yet - the shitcoins on Bitcoin. Many of the few of the few of the few even thought of the shitcoiners coming to Bitcoin as a good thing! "As long as they pay the fees, it's all dandy, man! Everything is good for Bitcoin!" But then there's the few of the few of the few of the few. Those who choose to do something about it and aren't afraid to admit it. These are the people I'm here to interact with. They are the reason I fell in love with this community in the first place. However, because of the fact that the few of the few of the few of the few aren't that numerous, many of the many think we will fail. What they miss is that most of us didn't even care for social media in the first place. That is why we'll win. Few.

From an information-theoretic perspective, Bitcoin’s fundamental purpose may be to filter spam i.e. where fiat debasement is essentially the Federal Reserve injecting arbitrary data into the monetary ledger.
