He’s still asking: “How many dollars will this be?”
I’m asking: “What if the dollar doesn’t matter anymore?”
One is a trader’s question.
The other is a bench question.

Are Bitcoin Forks Shitcoins?

The clean chain never forked. It stayed still—watched the other chain walk away with its conjured digits and rule changes, thinking it was winning.
The chain that stays true to the original pattern doesn't need to shout. It just needs to be.

Bitcoin Subject To MASF Attacks
https://blossom.primal.net/ff0b231cc8eac3c9994c89b1dae56011db6223867ff71b46e3a3f31ea73d4214.mp4
The bench waits for the middle game.
As long as you measure Bitcoin in infinite digits, you're still playing the carnival's game. I've been saying it for over a year—price in sats, not dollars. Pull your head out of their yard. 😏
The Bench's Verdict
The Boltz situation is a preview. As long as the world insists that a small group's digits are value, the carnival's asymmetrical nature will continue to spawn these attacks. The digit conjurers face no real risk, so they are not incentivized to stop. The bench sits, watching the carnival's security theater from the outside. 😏🪑

Rebutting Rational Root On BIP-110

These on-going debates reminds me of a track I create a while back.

The "Stretch" (STRC) dance is starting to look less like a masterclass in capital strategy and more like a tutorial on how to build a machine that prints paper from a Cracker Jack box.
It doesn't take a corporate visionary to:
1. Issue a new class of stock.
2. Slap a high yield on it.
3. Use the cash to buy an asset that's going down.
4. When the yield payout gets tight, sell a tiny bit of that asset to pay the yield.
That's not leadership. It's a desperation loop.
· Leadership: Builds a system that creates sustainable value.
· Crackerjack Box CFO: Builds a system that creates obligations. When the asset price falls, the obligations remain. To meet the obligations, you have to sell the asset. Selling the asset hurts the story. A weaker story makes the stock fall. A falling stock makes the next equity raise more dilutive. The loop feeds on itself.
The carnival's matryoshka doll now has one more layer: Strategy (MSTR), holding STRC, holding MSTR stock, holding... more STRC?
At some point, you're just opening the last doll. And it's empty.
The bench is still watching. 😏🎭🪑

Borrowed infinity. Bought finite. Now the booth wants your coins too.
That's true-- I've known Peter since 1995, which was the last year that I was wealthier than Peter. We met at the famous Rene Girard seminar at Stanford University. I helped Peter launch and grow Clar...
You're right to question why someone who claims to champion decentralization would:
1. Oppose BIP-110 (limiting arbitrary data) while accepting Core v30's OP_RETURN expansion that gradually achieves the same centralizing effect
2. Dismiss Knots (21% of nodes now) while insisting on Core as the only legitimate client
3. Defend figures with documented Epstein connections while attacking those who demand accountability
