Fiat - everything else is a downstream effect.

@Simon Dixon has a neutral podcast going over this debate. I highly recommend- also @Matthew Kratter has some clear headed episodes here on nostr that go over what the actually soft fork does and how it works. It’s nothing to be worried about … unless you are running a VC fund that profits from bitcoin as data storage …

I love ambient tracks 👌🏻 well done. Also I didn’t realize you can embed songs directly into nostr. Very cool

It stops most ordinals and would kill the $dog meme coin which became feasible via cores contentious update - an update which actually deleted Bitcoin wallets btw, and was pushed through by hierarchy within core.

Protocol can mitigate spam but that’s not ever going to be a permanent solution with core or knots. Mat hill has an excellent solution for stopping spam via policy - he goes through it in this episode:

I highly recommend it to anyone trying to understand the debate. he is also completely neutral on the subject too btw.

Personally, I run bip 110 because it is decentralization at the node level. I’m uncomfortable with the fact Adam back and core has taken money from Epstein. I think that Core is a hierarchy and a major attack vector on Bitcoin. Many of the dev see BTC as a store of value instead of a medium of exchange.

Oh nice. It’s looking more active now… it wasn’t when I first got on here

I’ve never used stables… I would never encourage anyone to use it. For beginners - thy should simply buy small amounts of bitcoin until they understand. Stables do literally nothing for the network, except cause confusion, give people the false sense of escaping risk, and give more power to the fiat system.

It’s completely unrealistic to think that they have any role in bitcoin adoption. They are literally propaganda for the state, designed to keep people from using decentralized money.

There is no other way. You either hold money backed by decree and violence or you have sound money. There is no in between.
That’s why Stablecoins are a psy op. There is no escaping risk - there is no “stable” form of value. Change is inevitable even in sound money - it’s a law of nature.

Sound money is the solution to human suffering because fiat is the root cause.

It’s great to see new people start to think about this. It’s dense but when you learn more, it turns out it’s extremely important.

I recommend reading the website and making a decision for yourself ⚡️ run the node client that best aligns with your vision of what Bitcoin should be. That’s the best part of BiP 110… if you don’t agree, no worries. If you do, you need to take action as a node runner and be a part of Bitcoin history.

I fixed my feed. It’s empty now lol

Let’s goooooo ⚡️
