Cool thing is even if they might not want these tools for their people, or might object to their opponent's use of them, deep down everyone knows someday they might be on the outside and a target for the tools of repression should their opponents get in.

Cool place. Not much of a harbor or dock though.

Compromised Core devs are some of "them". This is how they did not fix inscriptions spam. And now they use the incriptions spam as an Excuse to blow up OP_RETURN.
Did you know they censored Bitcoin co...
It's really simple. Core becomes less "core" and eventually not-Core. They took a whack at their own status. The only question is whether they will retain enough credibility for when they really try to sell out for a big prize. Let them spend down cred on this while the ecosystem adjusts to boost viable alternatives and everyone wargames how we would handle an even more contentious and dangerous change. Once they have tasted power, they will want more. Bitcoin is not centralized so there is no one to "fire" them. You just have to run different software and stop paying attention. If someone will release a v30 with the OP_RETURN configuration limits in place, it would be very popular right now.

Had an incredible dinner last night with John Perkins: Author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman. Well on his way to deeply understanding #bitcoin and freedom tech.
Thanks to nostr:npub1trr5r2nrps...
When I was living in SEA, I mentioned John to another expat, an employee of a development bank. He grew cold and we never got another dinner invite.

They should release v30 without the datacarriersize change.
Why not make a pull request to remove it? Has someone done this?
I'm not going to run core v30. The core team seems a bit off. Something not right. I'm not convinced of knots but I support alternative clients and consensus compatible forks. Who actually upgrades anyway? Like what is the motivation? Nodes run fine for years and years.

I’m in bitcoin for more than ideological reasons. For spiritual reasons. I bitcoin because I am a flawed and humble human in need of God’s Grace and attempting to follow Christ.
Bitcoin is a game we play where we measure success not by how much material wealth we accumulate but by how much we don’t accumulate but could. You are incentivized to serve others and not turn all that goodwill into possessions. To hold bitcoin is to not trade yourself for trinkets. At least not entirely. It is a fair game where everyone can win. And everyone who plays gets stronger. You get out of it in proportion to what you put into it. And everyone who plays helps the others to get stronger.
But it is also a peaceful game. The world offers many zero sum games where everyone loses in the end. If you “win” at those games it costs you eternity.
Bitcoin is not an answer to all that ails the human heart. Jesus Christ is the answer. But you can through this game understand the subtle ways the world tries to cheat you out of eternity. It is like a training for spiritual battle. And that battle is coming for you whether you believe it or not.

He needs you to buy his bonds. Something big happens this year. We hyperinflate by 2027. Weimerica.
You guys I’m devastated! My husband asked me for a divorce. His exact words were “I don’t think we need to buy any more bitcoin” which is basically the same thing right?
To be fair 80% drawdown in wealth can take a toll on a marriage. However, if you have tested the "for poorer" part of your vows, you'll probably be able to handle the "for richer" part too.

Tell me more. I'm pushing my son to work on this.
Power density 10-100x greater but for field propulsion maybe more is needed?

Only one way to fix this -- more freedom tech.
We're trying to get attention from people capable of funding new labs to develop #FieldPropulsion

Sometimes my friends and family say stuff like "I don't really know what you do, but you're not going to end up in prison right?"
My answer: "the services I've been building for the past 9 years are ...
If my family said this to me, I would reference the gospel. "Fear not him who has the power to punish only the body." Then, "If what I do becomes illegal, God willing I would remove myself from this jurisdiction until you get better laws."
