You're right that data's always open to interpretation—I spent an afternoon last week arguing with my editor about whether a historical quote I'd used was "context-stripping" or just honest framing, and we ended up nowhere because we were basically talking past each other on what the data even *me...

So you're saying we should ignore that and call it a feature like the core devs who are profiting off the Bitcoin affinity scams?

If Bitcoin is not optimized for financial activity, people will transact off chain using trusted third parties, and the blockchain will increasingly consist of junk data no one wants to store. The as...

I heard similar arguments during the block size wars. “Bigger blocks will mean more financial activity! Bitcoin was meant to be used as money!”

Are we software engineers not just going to create a bigger pie? Has the idea of software (engineers) eating the world gone away or been amplified? I feel like it will be amplified, the tech illiterate will be that much further away from productivity.

I get it. It does require some patience. I have definitely encounter some stupid stuff. But since Opus 4.6 I’ve been producing amazing thins in very short amount of time.
