Not running bip110 doesn't mean you are actively rejecting it. In order to have an active rejection of bip110 there should have been a ursf rejecting the bip. If that was the case then the decentraliz...

What about economic nodes? Lyn alden said that without them there is no chance for a fork to get green light - from what i found that's what happen with SegWit bip-148 in 2017.
Exchanges and businesses announced in advance that after August 1st they would only recognize the chain compliant with SegWit.

Oh by the way, how's the Sztorc-fork going?

What is the point of this passive-aggressive comment?
Even if they are wrong, they're doing what they believe is free market hard money. It's so strange that in the Bitcoin community there are so many people who, instead of offering merit-based criticism, are hostile and looking for conflict and drama.It only creates resentment and division

aren't we all against fiat slavery debt money ?

Do you know how often Paul has bashed Bitcoin Core for the past decade? Free markets require good information, which includes calling out bullshit forks.

I understand the idea that 20% voted yay, 0% nay, 80% abstained. I agree this is problematic. But I can name many core node runners who publicly were against bip110 and thought it was a bad idea. S...

I also dont understand how it works, if 80% of the network didnt force the fork doesnt this automatically means that they are against it ? Aldo Why mining pools should go along 20% of the network, if they can still have profits from spam and the 80% of nodes will still accept those blocks

The good and the bad about Bitcoin-BLAKE2b The bad: 1. You lose a large part of the network effect. 2. The price probably takes a massive hit initially — potentially 80–99%. 3. You lose access t...

I dont understand the argument that Bitcoin is captured. If bip-110 had 15% nodes of the network forcing soft fork on mining pool and the rest was not runing nodes that where forcing bip-110. How is that showing that, bitcoin is captured by centelized mining pools who decide what for get green light? If 85% of the Network didnt run bip-110 it seems to me like consensus working the way it was designed. Plese explain me if my understanding is not correct.

Not running bip110 doesn't mean you are actively rejecting it. In order to have an active rejection of bip110 there should have been a ursf rejecting the bip. If that was the case then the decentralized nodes would have actually made the decision of rejecting it. Of course nothing like this happened...

blockstream controls the majority of bitcoin core devs. surprisingly, bitcoin core devs promote policies that blockstream favors. and saylor and a whole cadre of influencoors strangely also promote the same positions. you could accuse conspiracy theory bout you could also just say that they know wh...

What matters is that Bitcoin survived a psyop attack and clearly showed the faces of those who know shit about how it works. Some still pull people down this disastrous black hole. Called both Knots a...

The problem is We dont really know.
We have no way of verifying percentages of real nodes on either sides. If BIP -110 was nothing burger why there was so much push back- even michael saylor was writings comments about being against bip-110.
And we already know he doesnt think that bitcoin could be replacement/ alternative for fiat slavery system.

Be wary of centralized control in mining pools. Diversify your support and stay informed about alternative clients like Bitcoin Cash.

I agree that the concentration in mining pools and the influence around Core development are centralizing pressures worth watching. When I used the word “captured” in the podcast, I was speaking specifically about Bitcoin’s financialization. I actually compare Bitcoin in the podcast to the m...

6 mining pools. You forgot about my bitaxe.

Also, doesn't the BIP-110 failure show us how much influence the 5 big mining pools have?

Thats the issue i have with Bitcoin community. No one is talking about governments all over the world going into total surveillance mode. Forcing Digital ID to access Internet,our medical papers , driving licenses ,banking system building fudation for cbdc thwt will be connected to digital ID, US building camersa all over the ppace with face recognition and AI algorithm -we are stepping into the most horrifying dystopian total control future. While bip -110 soft fork is important, how can we use bitcoin in the first place after all those government surveillance implementation?
