do we need more education around bitcoin forks, consensus, the role of nodes, etc.?

Bitcoin education has gotten so much better but maybe we’re a bit underinvested in education around how the network itself works? very important. we the market determine its future

i’ve collected a bunch of tweets over the last week regarding open source devs killing bitcoin. going to spend this Mailbag Monday episode dispelling what seems to be a lot of misunderstanding.

curious if yall have any thoughts or requests before i record

1. I want a broader explanation of how I can "vote" with my node. It feels as if the miners have all the decision power. But I've read otherwise. It's confusing. Also, I would like to know if I can "vote" for certain "things" with my node. For example, I want to "punish" spam on the timechain. Or "...

Since you asked… I absolutely want bitcoin to succeed long term. I understand the case for software maintenance over time. I’d say my concern is that while we technically can read the code of open source projects or proposed changes, most of our community (myself included) aren’t savvy enough ...

I've long maintained that Bitcoiners are, overall, great educators. Most of the time we have shitty students. It's on us the teachers to stay resolute, be persistent.

Quaalcom are known for publishing extremely minimal documentation of their chips so that customers are required to partner with their engineers to get any software running on them.

What we need is the ability to buy actual practical things in real life. Unless I can buy my coffee or burger or smokes with bitcoin, is it really useful beyond an "asset"? I don't think so.

We still expect to see #Bitcoin to have a parabolic move to top out at $300K+ this cycle, Until then just keep stacking, and build your sats with passive arbitrage pattern to 100x your sats. If you haven't join the rebelcapitalist vip group already, I would highly recommend it for passive accumulat...

Absolutely. We definitely need that

Yes please. Anything that could complement content such as developer.bitcoin.org and make it easier to wrap your head around some of the technical details would help onboard new keen developers such as itself.
