Okay, comments people — we all realize this means Boltz is dead now, and we're not going to use them in the future, right?

Their canary went off and now their staff is mystery wiped. It doesn't take a genius 🤦🏻

the whole concept of boltz existing at all is completely asinine. you don't want ANY architecture that allows for things to be completely shut off. boltz was solving a manufactured problem in an effort to pretend that lightning and liquid are viable technology.

Textbook example of coaching someone's language to alter their thinking and fix a narrative in their mind. Someone who accepted this narrative could easily self-destruct and sell all their Bitcoin.

Not posting this to discuss the fork. This is part of a larger phenomenon that affects the entire network!

1. Have never rolled dice
2. Have only heard dice mentioned a handful of times in all my time in btc
3. I know damn well most of you have never rolled dice or even thought about it
4. No one has ever discussed seriously rolling dice until the last week, and this was at least partially from reactionary panic
5. Satoshi did not roll dice either
6. Rolling dice is not a serious requirement for self-custody
7. Yet the Professional Bullshitting Class is now deploying this as a narrative against self-custody anyway.

What I learned from yesterday is that game theory doesn't work without prices to help all the actors assess the risk.

I don't get the impresson, at all, that there was anywhere near majority support (to say nothing of consensus) from the average Bitcoiner.

Against spam? Sure
Worries about Core? That does seem common.
In favor of this particular Bip? I don't get that impression at all.

And once they started talking about a real fork earlier this week, I saw a a very prominent "Nope" materialize even among the supporters.

Am not surprised it petered out.
