I want Bitcoin nodes to be on little insect size drones that have little solar panels on their backs and live in the trees.

Let's get serious about locking in the new golden age for humanity.

I'm over Jimmy after his very clearly biased fence sitting. It's clear he doesn't have the stones to face off against Fiat and is cowering.

We got into Bitcoin to get away from captured Fiat corporations like Bitcoin Core.

Acknowledging is important, but what you focus on grows, so I don't see the point in wallowing in low vibes.

I think we could make more progress convincing them not to get fucked if we are able to explain how some of the necessary things governments do do could be better done without them. Instead of just riting them off as retarded.

Isn't that kind of like saying capitalism is bad because people are only doing things because they get money

Sure, a civil war is what they want. And what would you have us do in response? Bend over because we don't want to have a civil war?

They aren't going to back down because they want a civil war. But we're the ones who are going to win it. Core is clearly corrupt. It's literally as clear as the sky is blue to anyone who's not an NPC.

I hope that's true, but I certainly think it's reckless to assume that is true.

If you corrupt the culture, you corrupt the code, you corrupt the money, and you corrupt the world. It's pretty easy to corrupt a culture with infinite money, so as far as I know humanity's survival depends on our continued vigilance

I wouldn't be so quick to jump to the conclusion that it's good that devs are getting paid. If they are getting paid in fiat by fiat minds, then they are most likely being paid to subvert humanity's hope at survival

Agreed, the only thing I've heard about CTV is that it's necessary. Of course, the people saying that don't really provide any compelling justification. It's very clearly dubious
