Myth: Without police serial killers would run rampant
Reality: John Balcerzak handed a drugged 14 year old to Jeffrey Dahmer after he escaped from Dahmer's home. If he hadn't showed up, the teen may have been rescued and might still be alive today.

Why was Vitalik laughed out of Bitcoin in 2013? For wanting to use Bitcoin for arbitrary data storage. So why is Bitcoin Core now promoting exactly what Vitalik was? What's changed? There is no market demand for data storage on Bitcoin, so what is it?

LukeDashjr will go down in history as the dude who saved Bitcoin at least 3 times over. If Bitcoin has Sainthood, I would nominate him.

What do Bitcoin maxis know that the general public doesn't?
1. Crypto is garbage
2. Blockchain technology is only useful on the Bitcoin protocol

I spoke with a leftist in Boston last night who told me she is terrified of going into New Hampshire because of the lax gun laws. So, the @FreeStateNH project is working in two ways. Attracting liberty folks to NH and keeping authoritarians away #LiveFree

Bitcoin is an attack on fiat the same way a life vest is an attack on drowning.
It is true, but it's a funny way to word it
I can't stress this enough: the crypto attack on the dollar is not strictly a "pump and dump" or a "grift." It's an ideologically-driven attack on the legitimacy of fiat currency, the @federalreserve, and the incumbent financial system. It is the sequel to the January 6th attack.

On one side of the OP_RETURN debate, you have Ethereum sympathizers, butthurt Counterparty alums, devs who can't fix simple bugs, devs who accidentally programmed inflation bugs into Bitcoin, and people who want tail emissions on Bitcoin. On the other side, you have a dev who saved Bitcoin from an existential bug in 2013, finally figured out a way to decentralize mining after years of stratumv2 vaporware, figured out a way to get lighting while simultaneously fixing the malleability bug (which other devs though was not possible), and Bitcoiners who want sovereign money. Tough choice

I locked my account and retired from X. I was happily minding my own business and couldn't give a damn about engagement. What brought me back out of retirement was bCore announcing they had merged v30 with no debate or discussion. No consensus. F Core, F engagement, Run Knots

Bitcoin in 2013 was all about "F the Federal Reserve".
Now it's "F the plebs" .
This is a dead end for Bitcoin.

Even if filters don't work, I still want to run them because it annoys the scammers.
BTW, the fact that it annoys the scammers is proof they work.

There was this myth that many of us believed.
Bitcoin is open source therefore it doesn’t matter who the devs are.
This was idealistic thinking.
I’m a realist now

2014: Vitalik Buterin
2015: Erik Voorhees
2016: Brian Armstrong
2017: Roger Ver
2018: Daniel Krawisz
2019: Richard Heart
2020: Trace Mayer
2021: Robert Breedlove
This is nothing new. I wonder who it will be in 2022

Calle is lying or is unimformed about Satoshi. Satoshi did not think fees alone are enough to stop spam and expressly said so. Satoshi worked on filters and stated that they should be kept updated. This completely condradicts the central point of Calle's essay.

Pointing out that bcore is acting against Bitcoin users doesn't mean I am bearish on Bitcoin. Bcore is doing their best to make themselves irrelevant just like every previous "in-group" that thought they control Bitcoin

Would you be ok with Vitalik being in charge of bCore development? Because I can't think of a single material thing she disagrees with Vitalik on
A key detail that got lost in this whole debate: Core devs don't believe JPEGs and shitcoins on Bitcoin to be spam.
Notice how individuals like @callebtc, @L0RINC and even @adam3us never give a straight answer about what spam even is, always hiding their answers in rhetoric and semantics.
The reason? They know it's impopular and would further taint the optics of what Core is trying to do with v30 and beyond.

Short-term: Run Knots
Long-term: Multiple implementations
Don't let the bad actors trick you into thinking Bitcoin Core 30 allows you to re-enable the datacarrier limit:
1) Along with unlimiting the default, they also broke it further. datacarriersize=83 now (as of Core 30) allows for 83 outputs totalling 830 bytes of spam, instead of just 92 bytes of spam (9 bytes of which couldn't be arbitrary) as in Core 29 and earlier.
2) datacarriersize is marked as deprecated, and explicitly planned to be removed in a future release (likely silently, since "it's already deprecated").
3) Core never fixed the Inscription exploits (CVE-2023-50428 and CVE-2024-34149) which allow spammers to bypass the datacarriersize limit.
The only way forward now is a mass migration to Knots. Not the way I wanted things to go, but Core has given us no other choice. Once this is resolved, we should avoid putting all our eggs in one basket, and encourage the creation and use of multiple clients.

If there was a market demand for data storage on chain. Eth would have flipped Bitcoin long ago. And this wouldn't be happening

99% of Bitcoiners are not on Core's side. Idiots like Heavily Armed Clown will call that a "rough consensus"
That sure was an enthusiastic applause for @GrassFedBitcoin at @LuganoPlanB today. Gives me hope in bitcoiners 🙂

Bitcoin Core is holding discussions with crypto companies to see how Bitcoin can change to accommodate them. This is the NYA all over again. Users fought back and won. I suspect the same thing will happen again.

Bitcoin does not exist to serve its miners. This should have been clear in 2017 but some people have a short memory and must relearn this lesson

If it wasn’t obvious before it should be obvious by now. Altcoins are an attack on Bitcoin. They will fail but they are an attack

If Bitcoin is not actively maintained as a monetary network, it will blend into the sea of web 3 rot.

Shinobi has a socialist's understanding of Bitcoin.
This explains his longstanding hostility to Bitcoiners and Bitcoin culture.
He thinks Bitcoin is a failure if miners don't prioitize spam if it earns them an extra 20 sats in the next block.
This is a characature of how Bitcoin works. Long term thinking is often at odds with short term marginal profits.

Craig Wright thought soft forks are attacks on Bitcoin. Craig Wright wanted countless non-monetary apps on Bitcoin. Craig Wright thought OP_RETURN should be unlimited. Matt is correct in multiple ways

After all that gaslighting about miner centralization, fee estimation, and ineffectiveness of filters. We finally get a mask off moment. This is the real reason Core hates filters.
