Regarding tomorrow's BIP-110 activation:

I expect BIP-110 will be successful. Not in achieving majority hash rate after activation, but in exposing a completely captured and controlled mining industry. This will become apparent as the miners will defy all logic which participants in a free(ish) market should exhibit. This will be a wake up call to many who underestimated the scope of the control structure we were born into, and which we are looking to escape.

I then expect the overlords will pump the fiat price of the "core chain" as a false beacon of success to those who mistakenly judge fundamentals based on fiat price. It will be a brilliantly illuminated bug zapper for those attempting and hoping to fly towards freedom. It will also signal the "defeat" of this "reckless BIP" that will suffer the same fate as non-principled forks of the "real bitcoin" before it (Bcash etc).

This may seem bleak, however if we are honest with ourselves, we always knew deep down that the long hard road was the one we would need to walk. It was not going to be easy, we would not have any free passes, nor do we need any. The battle for freedom from the most powerful human control structure our history (fake or not) has ever known will not be one of ease nor convenience. It will and must be one of value, honor, principles, perseverance, getting to know our true selves, and realizing our true potential.

And therefore our victory comes in most unexpected of ways... as we move together to a place based on principle, embracing a new chain free of the lies, manipulation, and mal-intent. Bitcoin then lives on, carried by the patient humble warriors who will live and die by principle and love for fellow good souls. And when the scam is unveiled to the masses, we will be there, silently building in the background, waiting for other good souls to arrive.

And by some sly roundabout way, we have already introduced something that they can’t stop.

Stay strong, and much love.

Been in Bitcoin since 2017, most of my wealth in Bitcoin since roughly 2023. But before that I started saving in physical Gold and Silver. Long story short, perhaps we should expect to going back to Gold and Silver. Not that I like it, far from that. Not that I want to go back to a society that co...

Just use monero man. Why are you attached to a particular history of transactions?

Golds competitors had a higher inflation rate. So you could store your time in gold more efficient. But, when I can choose between 1-2% inflation and 0% inflation in a free market, why wouly I take the 2%? I prefer to get robbed the tiniest amount possible, 0% is therefore optimal.
