So serious and honest question. Anyone of you who were all in on Blake2B and BIP-110 that followed the split, etc. With all that has come since, are you ready yet to admit that Luke is mentally ill...
Bonato BIP 110: We were digging for mithril, but we found a balrog profile picture
Don't you think you might have more to worry about that should matter to you? Or do you like to make sure everyone knows how retarded and mentally ill you are? The fixation with a dead fork is a symptom mental illness. Try being obsessed about something else.

Bonato BIP 110: We were digging for mithril, but we found a balrog profile picture
The longest mining chain + 50M$ to spin 100k nodes is all you need. Bitcoin is not difficult to change is too easy to change for a thing that is called immutable. The chances Bitcoin sha 256 will escape somehow by luck the obvious predicament of being captured, is a slim possibility.
Right now it is set on a path that will fail the separation of money and state. The money printer cannot be defeated by that which it can hire. It can hire the mining pools, and it can hire 100k nodes to give a semblance of legitimacy. Pray for some good lucky event that shifts things around is all you can do because only economical nodes matter aka mining-exchanges cartel nodes.

I hope Assange exposes more of the Epstein sicarios. Nevermind that there will more Coretards that we already know of. nostr:nevent1qqsrkqqsfyrrwxf9jclmwa54vk4wdemupwl855me8atdrh8la2v4macp7n3sa

You should not hope for that. Hope instead that the things that were already brought forth are acted upon. There is just so much personal damage whistle blowers can take for exposing the truth. If society won't react, society is dead. Who is giving back the years of his life? will those whom he expose ever face half the punishment he took for telling the truth?

I still don't get how so many Bitcoin devs don't have much Bitcoin. But in a sense, I suppose if they had some Bitcoin to start, they'd be tempted to retire, so maybe there's a selection effect there...

Jimmy, that conversation got nowhere during BIP 110 debates. That will remain irrelevant. If the money that put them there decides it is time for it to become relevant, then it will become relevant. hired influencers will talk about it and it will become an active issue. Does it even matter? Longest mining chain + sybil attack is all it takes to steer the "immutable money". I wonder how long it will take for you guys to realize the crew already jumped out of the train heading to collision while you look out of the window from your seat, daydreaming what you will do when you get there. Those that achieved the longest mining chain, and who can run a sybil on the nodes, are also the ones who select the devs who are either gullible, don't know enough or are outright nihilists.
Do you seriously think raising the fact that BTC devs are not all in on Bitcoin will make any difference now? The questions you should be asking is: what the miners will do, can the suits counterbalance the miners until nationstates begin to put their weight in BTC?

You can respect the fight while still criticizing the tactics.
Bonato BIP 110: We were digging for mithril, but we found a balrog profile picture
In general, yes. But you built for yourself the reputation of a professional fence sitter. And here is another generality: you reap what you sow. The reason so many people are too tribal is that there is a cost to sit on the fence. So if you need to be agnostic towards something, you must be excellent at it. But since you are saying nothing with any semblance of context, my post may also be useless. So why did I do it? I don't know, next time I will avoid doing it.

Status drives almost all social dynamics. And make no mistake there are status hierarchies in Bitcoin.
Bonato BIP 110: We were digging for mithril, but we found a balrog profile picture
Jimmy, come on. You are saying "electrons is what drives all electricity". Status is defined by society standing, so how would it not drive social dynamics? Status is social power which is a way people organize themselves. And if there are humans involved with anything you can bet there will be some form of pecking order going on. In the case of Bitcoin, you get the longest mining chain and you get 100k virtual nodes going and you steer Bitcoin towards asset devaluation. Isn't that lovely? So, keep on giving power to the status holders, things can only turn well sooner

I think there is another dynamic that can occur. Desperate companies think going woke will be a button they can press to get out of the shitty hole they dug for themselves by being incompetent and dishonest. For how long have Nike been selling shit rubber for the price of space age materials? They are not delivering the value, but instead of going into crisis mode and steer towards delivering value for your customers, they try the woke thing, and then slide real fast to the bottom of the hole. Going woke can mean just that this company deserve to go bankrupt, because they are trying to woke button instead of doing the proper work of a company.

Officially, they screwed up an update again ..... It actually seemed like the CEO was pissed off.
