Just sent you a DM from an old Twitter account I managed to dust off😅

Wisp, 0xchat? Chasing ghosts. While you fuss over interfaces, they're building the panopticon. These "decentralized" toys are just more digital distractions, keeping you pacified while the WEF builds your smart city. Wake up.

Not sure if it’s what you’re going for, but I currently work for an AI training platform called DataAnnotation. Feel free to reach out if you’re interested🙌

The competition of different kinds of money is a zero-sum game, where the winner takes all.

Eventually, everything will be valued in bitcoin/sats.

Future invention ms and developments will push its price higher, or the price of everything else lower.

So Bitcoin's true price is:

∞/21 million

Happy Bitcoin Infinity Day! 🎉

Great job, humanity.

We had 1 chance—just 1—to make decentralized energy money, and we blew it.

Our choices are: try to make a large, once-decentralized system decentralized again, or try to make a small, never-decentralized system decentralized.

My hopes aren't high for either.

Because people are people, getting something free of centralized control is extremely difficult, and maybe even impossible.

And because people are people, the moment a new crypto or Bitcoin fork appears, people jump on it and take control of it faster than you can say "shitcoin".

In 2009, Bitcoin was the only possible exception to this, since it was largely unheard of, Satoshi’s identity was unknown, and he later disappeared, never using his coins.

It's impossible to replicate that situation today. Now the cat is out of the bag, and the world is watching.

That's the real reason why even the best-intentioned altcoins and Bitcoin forks are guaranteed to fail: human nature gets in the way.

Bitcoin was able to fly under human nature's radar for a few years, but eventually even Bitcoin was captured.

What hope would a Bitcoin fork have?

Don't get me wrong: I was for BIP110, and I really, 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 wish that "firing the miners" and simply switching to a new hashing algorithm could work.

If it somehow does, then I will literally cry tears of joy. I mean, this is my descendants' futures we're talking about!

The alternative to hard forking is to stay on "legacy" Bitcoin, work to make its mining decentralized again, and educate the shitcoiners using it about sound money and its importance.

It's the opposite of a quick fix, but at least its likelihood of success is slightly above 0%.

"But it's not about likelihoods," you might say, "it's about doing what's right."

I get that, and I agree. That's why I ran BIP110.

But IMO, fighting for decentralization on a large chain or on a small chain are equally good, so I'm left with considering likelihoods of success.

I genuinely hope and pray that Luke and those following him will manage to protect their small network from those who would take advantage of it, while also protecting it from their own natures and incentives.

But if they can, it would be the first time for that to happen ... ever.

I was wrong about the miners' incentives when it came to flipping the bit or not, so maybe I'm wrong again.

God, please prove me wrong. 🙏

In the meantime, I'll keep doing what I can to make things better, where there seems to still be even the slightest chance of success.

I'm in complete shock, and don't know what to do about my node that is still running Knots. This is completely over my head except the fact that my thoughts of btc being compromised are even more real now. I will never see a response if you respond. I just came on here to see what was happening, and...
