@mattforney So you want a singular event to be used as an example of a fake conspiratorial plot from the Democratic party, in order to reduce civil liberties and for the psychopathic party leader to gain ultimate power of the government?
Or do you not actually understand what happened?
@Does_not_mattr@ethereanbull@HHorsley Are you trying to prove the point I was making in the comment you replied to, or what?
Ethereum is working just fine - in fact, I gained a new collector this week. The transaction went through perfectly well, and the provenance now lives on-chain.
Bitcoin could never.
I have been AWOL for the majority of 2025, due to IRL work demands
One thing that has kept me afloat during a busy year has been music production, and like a bat signal at a time when work demands are lessening... I get this email.
Is this you @walasavagephoto?!

If you're making significant enough changes to a database that you need to migrate users to a new instance, you can't have users segmented and making changes across two different databases.
Then you would have to manage changes across both and somehow merge data from two databases that are different enough to cause the migration in the first place.
@capradavis@devrelius As a rapper and producer who has dealt with IP issues with collaborations, sampling, etc, I absolutely 100% agree on this take.
Story is a huge unlock for music.
I am working on something specifically for this π
> i see the point your making and for years i was just as sceptical about this sentiment of BTC
I was bullish in 2012 and for a few years after, until it became clear that the technology was not fit for any purpose.
And then along came the meme of SoV.
> it's very similar to what Peter Schiff was saying for years and the demand/price of BTC just kept increasing
Schiff's bear reasoning is not valid though.
And positive price action doesn't negate a legitimate bear case.
> sure 16 years is nothing compared to gold's track record, but i don't see it as a counter argument to why BTC won't continue to be a SoV in the future
I wasn't using that as an argument against BTC being a long term SoV, but rather as an argument against using gold as an equivalent of SoV... because they are very far from being equal.
If you really want to search for an equivalent digital SoV, you need to look for something that has inherent and tangible value to begin with, just as gold did before it became an investment vehicle.
If we use this same logic, Ethereum would actually be the more equivalent digital gold.
> and just because there may be other cryptocurrencies that have some better use cases than BTC it don't mean that BTC is gonna fade out to irrelevance
I'm not implying that it will become entirely irrelevant. I am implying that once enterprise enter the arena, they will not be buying a digital asset that they can't do anything with.
Especially not when there are other digital assets that they will require as "credits" to use the networks.
> most crypto investors don't know or care jack shit about use cases and it doesn't seem to prevent the financial institutions from continuing to pour in capital primarily into BTC and not other cryptocurrencies
Precisely my point. They don't know shit about the technology - they are buying the meme.
Once blockchains are actually being used for all digital transactions, why would they want to keep BTC, that effectively does nothing?
I think it becomes pretty clear to them at some point.
> it's not simply but primarily because it was the first Blockchain
Is it not? What are the other tangible reasons?
$MSTR in a nutshell:
Borrow against BTC to buy more BTC, use that BTC as collateral for more loans to buy more BTC...
and somehow this circular dependency on perpetually rising prices and new capital inflow isn't supposed to collapse like every other leveraged pyramid before it
@harpieio Sorry to hear it.
Unfortunately this is the reality of web3 security at this point in time.
The majority of the current user base doesn't see the cost benefit in these kinds of services.
I think it's a case of being too early - these services will be in demand at some point.
@punk9059@gmoneyNFT Some questionable research has been released into large structures beneath the pyramids.
Many red flags and still yet to have any kind of peer review.
