We’re excited to officially announce @ProductionReady, a 501(c)(3) public charity established by @Excellion, @jimmysong, @parkeralewis, and @jratcliff to advance open-source Bitcoin development through education and funding for a new conservative Bitcoin client.

What if the biggest risks to Bitcoin aren’t what you think? 🤔 I am super proud of this episode, and it was one I initially shied away from. I sat down with Bitcoin expert @jimmysong to dig into Bitcoin Core, Knots, and ProductionReady, and what this emerging split in node software could mean for Bitcoin’s future. We get into the trade-offs, the tensions, and why just running Bitcoin is becoming a more loaded statement than most people realise. This conversation genuinely changed how I think about the network.

Centralization is a natural end-state of networked systems. That's why decentralization is so hard.

Had the absolute honor of interviewing @jimmysong at the Las Vegas Bitcoin Conference. He’s the teacher who first opened my eyes to how "Fiat Ruins Everything." Jimmy, along with @Excellion, @parkeralewis, and @jratcliff, is launching @ProductionReady—the 3rd major Bitcoin node software alongside Core and Knots. Client diversity is absolutely crucial for protecting Bitcoin’s decentralization and security. Fully support this conservative, security-first approach to building on Bitcoin. If you're a dev, they are hiring!

Meet @jimmysong and @jratcliff from #ProductionReady in the Open Source Hub at Bitcoin 2026. Let’s talk about Bitcoin development. Signed books, stickers, and swag are available while supplies last!

Debt is how you debase the future and a sufficiently debased future causes misery now.

The main core problem is a complete disregard for the basics.

Recently wallet.dat deletion bug, now this. I would not complain on any other project. But for the most important open source project of our times I want a defensive approach. Putting stability and not-break-things as top priority. Looking forward to @ProductionReady

It’s important for the development team behind any Bitcoin client to have humility and self-awareness. @Excellion from @ProductionReady speaks with @knutsvanholm on the @BtcInfinityShow. “Pride cometh before the fall.”

Basic fact of life is that you reap what you sow. Sowing good seed is not exciting and the reaping will take a while, but the payoffs are proportional to your planning and low time preference.

Developer Attitude Problem? BIS #198 with @jimmysong and @Excellion out now!

Here is my profile of the most vulnerable, which is isomorphic to the (blockchain, nanotech, AGI, fusion) is-just-around-the-corner people: * rent-seeking upper class * 105<IQ<120 * knows just enough detail to sound smart * knows none of the real details * loves numbers (TPS, qbits, test scores, input/output) * very little humility

No screaming. No character attacks. Just two people explaining their position clearly. This is what the conversation should look like. 👇 @knutsvanholm @Excellion @jimmysong @BtcInfinityShow @ProductionReady Study 📚 Bitcoin

Bitcoin's reliance on a single dominant implementation is a centralization risk hiding in plain sight. @jimmysong makes the case for a third Bitcoin client and why the network's resilience depends on it. productionready.org/blog/the…
