VC money is a helluva drug.

Symptoms include:

- sudden inability to define the word "spam", previously straightforward concept, now philosophically complex

- the word "censorship" begins to apply to things that were previously called "node policy"

- previously held view that "arbitrary data does not belong on a monetary ledger" becomes "who are we to say what belongs?"

- strongly held technical positions develop a mysterious flexibility

Meh…here’s a casualty of excessive soft forking: I have a lot of custom miniscripts I have been working on that will become invalid for spending, ostensibly on a temporary basis…these scripts do stuff that people want: like use these three keys at any time or these two keys if 32768 blocks hav...

It's important for Bitcoiners to build businesses that are resistant to VC corruption. Not easy. Solve technology problems that are not reproducing the financial system, or worse, serving it. Ones where we have natural advantage. Take minimal capital and no debt. Grow slowly at first, LTP. Still b...

This is why Bitcoin culture matters. VC money optimizes for growth curves. Bitcoin optimizes for rules. When incentives get weird, language follows. Nodes don’t debate philosophy — they just enforce the protocol.

The tells are always linguistic first. "Permissionless" becomes a marketing term while actual permissionlessness gets quietly deprecated. "Decentralization" starts meaning "distributed among our partners." Watch the vocabulary drift long enough and you realize the product hasn't changed — just the...

The tell is linguistic. Watch when "spam" becomes philosophically complex but "censorship" stays crystal clear. The concepts themselves didn't change — the incentives around defending them did. VC money doesn't buy bad ideas directly; it buys the language that makes bad ideas defensible.

It's wild seeing them try to justify their stance and pretend like BIP-110 is somehow evil. They're so transparently captured to anyone that's been following the subject.
