Again it's not what happened to him but ohh now I see what he always was. We call this ... letting the mask slip.

The deep state wants you to stack stonks, not sats. Wake up

We are locked onto the target of 100% signaling by early August. Bitcoin is money!

Bitcoiners who tell you voting matters are absolute fucking retards, all of them.

I'm done with the whole Republican/Democrat thing. They are all retarded.

BIP-110 rejects the large file storage use case. for context, in the last 90 days: - 45% of the blockspace filled with arbitrary data. - 82 blocks full of inscriptions - 53 transactions with large OP_RETURN payload At the moment, the "joke" is more on the blockchain it seems...

Digital ID CBDC infrastructure = the ability to turn your money on and off based on behavior. What you’re seeing in the UK is the political layer being used to install the financial control grid. No one voted for it because if they explained what it actually does, it wouldn’t pass. The playbook is simple: 1. Introduce Digital ID as ‘security’ or ‘efficiency’ 2. Link it to payments and benefits 3. Use AI and data to enforce compliance If you want to stop it, the fight isn’t just political. It’s financial. Keep your assets outside the system, use cash, and build local economies that don’t require permission to transact. Otherwise, you’re not a citizen anymore. You’re an account.

"If you realize you made a mistake, the honorable thing to do is admit it". THIS is what separates men from children, trustworthy from perfidious, intelligent from stupid. Unfortunately, too many people have huge egos, and can never do that.

A reminder: Citrea don't need the blockchain - they need your mempool which is why spam filters had to be ridiculed and ripped out of Core for Citrea to be able to confidently build and launch their product. Kill it today by refusing to host their stuff in your mempool.

HERE WE GO!

Funny, I thought Core, when releasing their contentious V30, were the one dividing the community.

Really great job, Bitcoin Core-- you blew open op return for this shitcoin scam. So glad you "protected" us from 64 bytes of fake pubkeys (that never would have even occurred anyway)

(All Bitcoiners in unison choir:) "Joke's on you"...

That's not the quote. Bitcoin is money for enemies. It's not data storage for enemies

This should NOT be hard to understand for Bitcoiners. Yet, many of us do not understand it. Please, Bitcoiners, wake up and understand this fundamental principle.

Noticing things and observing patterns is not "doomerism" or "conspiracy theory" - it's looking at reality and asking questions. In the Bitcoin area, and in all others.

"During the first two years, it had become clear what the deal was: Be a loyal supporter of Newbery, his initiatives — Optech, Bitcoin Core PR Review Club, and others — and the chosen people being groomed for power, in exchange for being part of the clique." - Jon Atack

Hey there, Since you chime in with smears, care to point lot what is not factual? Are you aware that three core developers are on record in the article? Are you aware that fanquake, AJ Towns , John Newbery and Adam Jonas all ignored my right of reply questions? Are you aware that every single thing in the article is sourced?

The problem here is the mischaracterizing and overestimating of the Bitcoin Cult. Even in the Bitcoin Cult context, accounts like "MrHodl" are not significant or influential in the big "rest of the world" picture where bitcoin is destined to thrive. It really doesn't matter what "Mr. Hodl" has to say about anything; nothing he claims or says can or will change the direction of bitcoin. That's a fact. Shinobi, who is a provably extremely intelligent, very well versed and knowledgeable person has more influence than "Mr. Hodl", and has risen from scintillating "phone it in appearances" on YouTube Bitcoin shows where he wiped the floor with big blocker anti-Bitcoiners to gaining a seat on Bitcoin Magazine's staff. By dint of this, he has bigger reach; this is unarguable. His manner on X however, as a matter of effective persuasion, completely destroys his "arguments", on top of the fallacious, teenage, "Pics or it didn't happen" discourse that no one takes seriously. Adam Back is the most powerful of the three, with a reputation spanning decades, a history of very sound ideas, a company actually offering real and useful services to Bitcoin users rather than skulking in the shadows as an rutardid "anon". Everyone took him seriously because he was clearly a very serious, logical, philosophically aligned genius level thinker, and major and effective contributor to the Bitcoin business ecosystem with Blockstream's products, tools and services. Those are "Bona Fides" by any rational measure. No argument against him can be mounted in these areas. That's why people are so shocked by his profound change in particular, because through being effective, he actually mattered. The corruption of Bitcoin means less to Shinobi and "Mr. Hodl", who are not as invested in every way like Adam Back is. If Bitcoin vanished tomorrow, what would "Mr. Hodl" lose? Nothing. He's just an anon on X. Shinobi loses his writing gig at Bitcoin Magazine. Neither employ anyone, serve anyone with tools. Nothing of value to others is lost. On the other hand, Adam Back loses the the culmination of a life-times work in a field where he is an expert to the level where he is cited in the venerated "White Paper". He has more to lose than any intemperate autist or silly 4Channish weather-vane turning Backstreet Boys fangirl level Anon. The fact of the matter is that Bitcoin is bigger than all of these people; even Adam Back. This is not controversial. The telephone as an idea was bigger than Edison. After Edison died, and his Patents expired, telephone networks grew and spanned and changed the entire world. Adam Back is not Satoshi; his company is one of many that are building on Bitcoin, all of which are owned by people who will eventually fade away. And Bitcoin will grow to engulf the entire world...right? The noise you hear on X is not bitcoin. The people you worship are not Bitcoin. Bitcoin is much bigger than what is said on X, and infinitely bigger than the miniscule and fleeting reputations of Bitcoin Cult members who switch off their brains when they go to conferences and pack halls to the rafters to hear the High Priest of Bitcoin whine on stage to a pounding music intro. No matter what happens, bitcoin will survive all of these people, and it will continue to do what it does one way or another. Hopefully it is one way. The weakest part of the ecosystem are the brain dead men and women who don't know why bitcoin was written, and the brain dead men and women who know why it was written but who are pulling up the ladder and the brain dead men and women who think Bitcoin is a threat of some kind. If these people did not exist, bitcoin could continue indefinitely. But you don't live in that world. You should therefore be prepared to believe that you will be smeared, attacked, and harassed by people you made the mistake of venerating if you try to exit the Cult. Hodlnaut, because he was counted amongst the victims of Craig "Faketoshi" Wright was on the surface, a deep Cult "Made Man" at a minimum. That he has broken ranks in such an effective and serious way, using his assumed high level cult member status to destroy the priesthood is the greatest of blasphemies. Hodlnaut and Adam Back were in the same Hight Court being attacked by Faketoshi. Hodlnaut has the credibility as a wrongly perceived insider, by mere association, to detonate Bitcoin Core from the inside. That's why they hate him so much. He broke ranks. None of these people attacking Hodlnaut (or very few of them) are actually interested in the truth or in Bitcoin; it's just another grift, gig and club to be in. The low level cult members who are too timid or dumb or anti-social to do what Adam Back has done move from one position to another because that's where their maximum value is; they have nothing actionable to offer, nothing to buy or use; its just hot air, swearing, positioning, and lazer eyes. The cult tenets of "don't trust, verify" and decentralization mantras were nothing more than sentiments provided to the Cult from the priest class as symbols and coordinating messages to get plebs in line, mobilize them into an army and control them. The Cult Priesthood don't believe any of it; if they did, they would not be reacting the way they've reacted to BIP110 Hodlnaut and Luke's client. They would never have done or supported "Use Cases" or pollution on Layer 1, or anything that caused what has happened to happen. Of course they don't care about "don't trust, verify" and decentralization. Everyone can see this now, and it may explain why they're so furious; they can't use the religious texts they've been using to enlist and control and manipulate users. They've been disempowered. It's over for them. That they're retreating to intemperate bursts of schoolboy profanity laced anger, ridiculous Appeals to Authority, Ad Hominem and other fallacious arguments, shaming, smears....and a point blank refusal to engage with the shocking revelations of the articles shows they're completely destroyed and haven't got a leg to stand on. It's really over for them. What's more interesting is that they believe that railing against Hodlnaut's exposé will discredit his work, make it go away or diminish its impact. Haven't they heard of the Streisand Effect? The more furiously they explode against him the more people read the articles and share them, just like this: citadel21.com/the-lever And they can't all be doing this because they're "compromised" and being "Blackmailed because Epstein". They're doing this because they believe in it; they believe in "use cases" and want Bitcoin to be polluted on Layer 1. That's beyond dispute. They want the corrupt management of Bitcoin Core and the Reference Client to continue unchallenged. All of this is a logical conclusion. Once again. The current generation of Bitcoiners, Bitcoin users, Bitcoin businesses and everyone tangential to it is not eternal; new people will come to it with (unfortunately) "their own ideas" and they will try to corrupt it. Whether they succeed or not is up to the people who run the nodes and who are aligned with bitcoin's ends, unlike the Three Stooges Hodlnaut references. Bitcoin's central flaw is that it requires a large number of aligned people for it to run in a protected state. In 2026, this is harder than ever to put in place, because you're dealing with mentally ill people who don't even believe that there can be truth at all. Still, does this mean you should give up and "go back to fiat". Obviously not. What you should do is begin to behave in a rational manner; stop being and acting like a cult member and imitating other people. You are going to get burned again and again by your heroes; so, don't have any. Be in Bitcoin for it's purpose, not the "culture". The culture is toxic and a dead end...but if you like death then... Rock on, and perish with it!
