USDC on base seems far more common for 402 payments now than Bitcoin. Recently, even Stripe joined the bandwagon. That’s a centralized stablecoin on a permissioned chain. Agents are starting to use ...

Absolutely not. There's waaaayy too much "building" happening already. That's the problem, as v30 shows us.

We need rock solid digital gold which can be privately teleported worldwide and into the future.

We need something to buy that will hold value and increase in value, to get Freedom Go Up.

We DON'T need all that scammy "building" which ruins bitcoin for what we really need it to be.

He "had to". Even with all of his millions, he still felt like he "had to". He'll do anything for money.

I know many who lost their jobs because they said no. And those people had much less, and needed the money much more, than this guy does.

You're missing the point.

The point is : now we have an extra hypothesis as to why some of the devs and "influencers" we're pushing for the crazy v30.

It's not about their personal disgusting depravity, it's about the code. Their personal disgusting depravity is relevant to the extent that it's part of the reason behind the push for the crazy code.

Some like to say that Bitcoin is only software. But it's more than that. It's a social phenomenon. The software itself means nothing unless people adopt it and use it. So the social aspects are relevant.

v30 is a socially suicidal change to Bitcoin. The fact that some of those who pushed for those changes are part of a very small minority of depraved maniacs helps explain why they might not even *see* why it's socially suicidal. They're just not normal.

All that means that, going forward, we must be even more cautious about anything they promote.

That's why the Epstein scandal is relevant concerning those devs and influencers.

Yes I agree, up until last year, core was an attack vector that had not yet been explored. My reasoning, simply when I first started running a node. I went straight to Bitcoincore.org and downloaded the latest version. This can no longer be the default action of a new node runner. Instead they mus...

True. Some of the true incentives have come to light. I thought it odd when Adam Back came out in support of v30 and gave “reasons” that didn’t match his intellect.

I'm not. If the head of Blockstream is compromised... it has huge ramifications. Still thinking through it. #Bitcoin nostr:nevent1qqsyr3jkp6r7vm74jzxak39hcm5u8ppra67l0gwha994xzs3xa6xv6gzypplyytwh9p...

I was uneasy, for a long time, about Blockstream having an office in Israel. Didn't know what to make of it. It was the first strike.

I was looking up to Adam for a long time. His take on v30 was disappointing to me but it was only the second strike.

Epstein is definitely the third strike.

Which is why we must convert as many people to self-custody as possible. Bitcoin can avoid gold's paper fate only if people actually take custody themselves.

I think that is only half the equation in the battle. The other half is to continually buy on exchanges and take the bitcoin off the exchange immediately. Always. But that is only the battle, it’s not the war. The war is to teach everyone that what they exchange and don’t hold keys to are no...
