Maybe you forgot about the part where you panicked and laid out the fictional the chain of events that’ll kill Bitcoin. That’s called a slippery slope fallacy. My best friend runs a raspi and it’s operating fine.

I used to watch every video that Matthew put out. But honestly until the knots / core debate isn’t front and center of every video, I going to take a break. I’m not in the knots camp and I don...

Excuse the guy for speaking up about an existential threat for the very thing he's using to save for his future and the future of his family. Pay attention, this op_limit issue can make it too expensive for normal people to run nodes. Without these nodes bitcoin is no longer decentralized, and it can be co-opted to become a proof of stake network - change the code - that no longer serves you and protect your purchasing power.

If bitcoin can be killed by a mempool policy change — not even a consensus level change — then it was never going to succeed long term. I want bitcoin to succeed. I don’t think this change is nearly as big a deal as it’s been made out to be. I’m just tired of all the hyperbolic language...

They no longer work due to the inscriptions hack and the utxo set bloat. Stronger more expensive node software is required to run nodes now. Imagine how difficult and expensive it will be when the op_return limit is lifted. Plebs will no longer afford running nodes similar to etheriom and other shit coins. Last thing we want is to become proof of stake or fiat, but that's what will happen if we give up on running our own nodes.

vitalik runs a theereum node on a dell xps laptop that's what he uses how are you not prepared for 100% full blocks 24/7/365? are you having fun staying poor??

also the op return limit is fake look retard https://mempool.space/tx/fd3c5762e882489a62da3ba75a04ed283543bfc15737e3d6576042810ab553bc
