I dont know what a LLM is never mind a good LLM. Im not downloading a centralized app on my phone like grok or chat gpt. Im not getting a neurolink. Just raw organic peer to peer thoughts. Thats worth...

Bro you don't have to download anything to use a LLM (large language model) many you don't even have to register to use.

You can literally run a search and switch to AI mode and ask questions and get answers. If that scares you sorry I am out here.

Like I side I dont even know what it is and you mentioned zero names.

The debate here is not about P2P cash which BTC does just fine when you want it to. It does other things as well, as any good money would.

The only debate I am having with you is feasibility of success of your movement and I am saying it ain't going to happen.

Note that not one time in all these exchanges have you ONCE explained how your side can win this, not ONE TIME. Not one word has been used to refute the facts I presented.

Why is that?

I'd guess because you don't have any, you just have faith and faith is fragile in the world of reality. Tell me how exactly 110 will speed adoption as BTC as money? Specifically what it will do.

Answer this if it is just going back in time a few years, why didn't we get adoption then?

How exactly does the math and power work for your side to win a fight that I am just observing and not even in?

Do you even understand I am just making a prediction here, not advocating for anything?
Hofer99 · 12h
I dunno whats happening, but I think it could ultimately lead to a chain split and a hard fork. If 110ers went there own way are you saying its doomed to fail from day 1?

Sorry for being a little bitch. Il admit I am pushing some buttons on a topic I havent researched and know nothing about. but I do like how you started explaining your thought process instead of jus...

See what happens if you listen instead of calling people pedos and shit? I am telling you this can't work and everyone with a deep long term technical understanding of this, knows it. I think many on your side do as well, hence the anger and acting out.

As for being told to go ask AI (I guess that is what this means, ""nstead of just outsourcing it to some Ai corporation" ) don't think I am not tempted. It gets exhusting explaining it over and over.

Honestly discussing it with AI ain't a bad idea, ask a good LLM to explain it to you. Sure those models are biased in medicine and climate shit but pretty neutral on BTC.

Just ask, explain to me why it likely will not happen, what it would take for it to happen and how it might happen even if it is not likely.

You may keep your opinion but at least it will be fully informed and you will know more than 98% of the people shouting down anyone who says what they do not want to hear.

You'll notice almost no one that was here for the Block Wars expects this to get done. There is a reason, it is the "same but different". Different goals but same mechanism required. The 110ers will say but those were hard forks, true but not how it started.

They forked around, they found out. After the BCH split I waited for the initial bump and told my followers now sell all your BCH and put it al in BTC. Some did some did not.

Roger Ver though a tantrum and liquaded a huge portion of his wealth. He publicly announced he would sell all his BTC to drive the price down and the BCH price down. If he had done nothing he'd be one of the richest men on the planet today but he forked. around and found out.

Oh and all of us that stuck with BTC during that time, we were totally open to increasing block size, just not how they were trying to do, as I said the same but different all over again.

All the Jaws movies were different but the shark dies at the end of them. It is kind of like that.

We are angry? Really? We are the one insulting people only for their opinions? Not arguing the facts? Us right?

Not to mention I am not anti anything, I just said it won't happen and explained why and you had a melt down.

I also doubt your time in the game claim. No reason I should not. What I say can all be verified, you not so much.

Additionally all the long term coiners, okay wait to be accurate MOST the vast majority that didn't flame out in the block wars have the same position I do. We don't even hate the idea here, but we know 110 is more than claimed and we are simply saying, you can't get it done this way.

For that you people call us pedos, suitcoiners, say we are not real bitcoiners but you never explain how your side can get this done the way you are doing it.

Sorry man you are projecting. I say "you are not a real bitcoiner" but since I am not retarded I know no one gets to say who is and who isn't a bitcoiner. You are or you are not. The more you put in the more you are honestly because money is real and risk is real. If you hold 100 sats bro you too are a Bitcoiner but that doesn't make you right.

Again I don't care if you win or lose, that is why you hate me. Sad.

There are realities here and you guys have all followed Luke like some savior. Reminds me of people who supported George McGovern and Walter Mondale and thought they had a chance.

I listened to this one, I wouldn’t exactly call it neutral. Samson is obviously against it. It’s also a conflict of interest for him in many ways. Much respect to you. We can each have our own opinions and run whatever software we please. I agree with Samson on that.

You're not a bitcoiner, regardless if you hold some UTXOs or not. A lot of people for inpatient with the rate of adoption, and instead of doing the hard work they started looking for shortcuts like si...

LMAO I was publicly in this space again before you knew the word Bitcoin. I don't hold some UTXOs I was accepting it as payments in 2012, not just buying it.

I spent a whole coin on a shotgun when it was at 650 a coin. Hows that for adoption?

You people seem to think if your 110 passes that will speed adoption and in the same breath you say, "it was already that way in 2023". Well why didn't we have adoption then?

Fees are at all time lows, spam is not a fee problem and people do not fail to spend BTC based on fees. The main impediment is tax policy which I am sure you also do not understand.

And the entire "yOu aRe NoT a ReAL BiTcOiNEr" meme is so old and tired I also remember that from a time before you knew what BTC was. I take BTC in my business, to the tune of about 12K usd a year on average. I run my own nodes, I mine. WTF makes me "not a real Bitcoiner" but some anon pleb that showed up 3 years ago is?

GTFOOH! You're still wet behind the ears son.

I guess you are saying you can't be a real bitcoiner unless you support 110? Sitting around staring at a do nothing node with a few hundred bucks on it?

Okay again I want to talk to you a month from now and see what you say then. If you'd been around more than a minute you'd know we have pretty much already seen this movie before.
