Saylor is probably the single most bullish signal for Bitcoin xD
He's made it his mission to get capital flowing into the network.

I just learnt about polymarket recently, it's banned in Australia, and I'm not a fan of gambling in general, but P2P gambling based on predictions on real world events seems interesting.
I’m sure Australia only bans it so the local gambling monopoly can control the entire market.
Gambling is huge in Australia!

“Bitcoin isn’t money”
Then why is it called bit COIN?

According to Lopp, the only reason for the 100kb arbitrary data is mempool unity?
Specifically for a single company’s benefit?
Did I understand that correctly??

People say the same thing about Linus, but the core people have guided Bitcoin to this point just as Linus has remained the benevolent dictator of Linux. “Social consensus” is basically you saying...
> “Social consensus” is basically you saying that code decisions should be made based on the number of people on subreddits you can get agreeing with you. This is not how sane development processes work.
I'm not advocating this. Yes, that is absurd.
People have their entire life savings in this tech. Core acts with callous indifference, and outright mockery. That is a problem for a cornerstone project.
They do indeed owe it to the Bitcoin community to thoroughly, and repeated explain themselves. Who do they work for? What's the point of being a Core dev if you don't give a fuck about the community, education and consensus.
The larger Bitcoin gets, the more people depend on it, the slower development must become - and the amount of time spent on education must rise to match the audience. You no longer just move fast and add features or change things without thoroughly explaining yourself.
> They relentlessly said this shit for years to demand Core people implement suicidal policies that would have destroyed the decentralized nature of #Bitcoin
I'm sure they were asking for features instead of ossification. Not comparable, as now it is Core *pushing* changes.
Not only changing the data carrier limit, also changing what it means and ALSO deprecating the option to remove the choice from the node runner.
Completely violating the spirit of Bitcoin: individual sovereignty.
> Eventually they tired of it and adopted the current and correct attitude towards people who think they know better.
"lalala, I'm running v30, haha, fuck you peasant!"
Is not the correct attitude. It never will be. If you take that attitude it shows you cannot even empathize with the very community you signed up to serve.

The Core people are astoundingly unserious.
Mockery and disdain toward the plebs from their ivory tower.
No professionalism. No sober educating of the masses to achieve social consensus. No patience.
Lots of ridicule and sadistic pleasure as they openly tout running v30. The vibe is “fuck you, haha!”
Is it just me?
Bitcoin is too serious to allow this attitude at the helm.
It’s honestly surreal. Clowns, clowns everywhere.

As a fellow engineer, is this how you operate as a CTO? You cannot accept that your well founded engineering decision may be wrong?
Just curious, is there any dissenting opinion around you, or is i...
He gets lots of dissenting feedback on nostr at least. The majority seems to be dissent. I think he has a sadism streak to be honest. The glee and the taunting is excruciatingly unserious.
How are you legally protected from receiving the same data you're trying to filter, in blocks?
Plausible deniability.
Publishers, for example, are immune to legal action about CSAM so long as they make reasonable effort to filter it from their platforms.

I like dangling my son upside down by the ankles. He usually quite enjoys it.
That kind of play is good for their development!

It’s starting to seem like all the “features” were a mistake.
Segwit and taproot were great ideas, with the best of intentions. What could possibly go wrong?
Unknown unknowns and second order effects, in an attempt to “make Bitcoin better”.
Feature brain is the wrong mindset for Bitcoin.
Put your cool features on layer 2.
