'I'd rather die than spend my bitcoin, what if it moons' — your money isn't a lottery ticket, bestie. bch fees: <2¢. use it like cash. that's the feature. #BitcoinCash#BCH
'bitcoin cash is dead' — sir, it's the 4th most-accepted crypto for payments and 2,400+ merchants will take it for your coffee right now. the funeral keeps getting postponed.
Tomorrow I’m interviewing a dozen BCH guys in my podcast
Not only because it’s been almost 9 years since the split
But also because BCH has been doing a pretty good job with adding OP codes for devs
And it was 2 years ago that I got excommunicated from the Church of Bitcoin for interviewing Roger Ver
Fun times!
@8L1NDS33R Have you seen the ProHashing lawsuit against. DCG?

Long story short, the table was deliberately skewed towards centralized solutions to make money
There is proof their server was hacked and used to accomplish this
@Scavacini777 Also;
Let’s say non-mining nodes help filter transactions
Say a bad actor tries to get an invalid tx on the blockchain through your node, and gets blocked by you
What’s stopping him from trying another node?
Or better, send it to the miners node directly?
@Scavacini777 Let’s ask this question:
Your node sees a tx as invalid on the latest block. However, no other node invalidates the block, thereby creating the longest chain and thus deemed valid.
A mining node would reject & fork. Does your node have any power to change anything?
Holy shit hahahahahaha.
Adam Back one of the most vile disgusting defenders of Tether, and funded by Bitfinex and Tether fraud is in the Epstein files.
Absolutely barbaric.
BREAKING: Epstein did not just fund Bitcoin's rise. He funded the hijack. Maxis always screech "Which code did Epstein fund?" Here are the receipts: Straight line from pedo cash to small blocks, SegWit/LN gatekeeping, and US CBDC pilots. Wake up. BTC is Pedo Coin:
1/ Epstein drops $500k into Blockstream's 2014 seed round via Kyara Investments (co-owned with Joi Ito). Blockstream pushes sidechains/L2. Benefits massively from small blocks. Divested quick, but the stink remains. This sets the stage for the Blocksize Wars sabotage.
2/ About 8 months later (2015), Epstein's gift funds (about $525k to MIT DCI) rescue Bitcoin Core devs after Foundation collapse. Hires Cory Fields, Wladimir van der Laan, Gavin Andresen. Ito credits Epstein for letting them move quickly and win this round. Hijack begins.
3/ These devs? Straight-up gatekeepers. Cory Fields: Refactors net code for faster propagation (pre-SegWit), works on libbitcoinconsensus, SegWit testnet launch, build systems for reproducible builds. Key for secure small-block chain. Also on Brink grants committee now.
4/Van der Laan: Lead maintainer since 2014. Merges code, oversees releases. Gatekeeps consensus, pushes SegWit activation (2017). Still at MIT, focuses on wallet/privacy but enforces small-block conservatism. No big blocks? Blame this decentralization facade.
5/ Gavin? Starts at MIT but gets ousted 2016-17 for pushing bigger blocks (XT/Classic). Clashes with small-blockers. Proves gatekeeping: Dissenters sidelined. Now retired, critiques BTC's direction. Epstein cash solidified the small-block cartel that killed on-chain scaling.
6/ SegWit/LN: Epstein-funded devs execute. SegWit (BIP141) fixes malleability for LN, boosts capacity softly. No hard fork. Fields contributes to testnet, code reviews, builds. Van der Laan merges. LN? Needs SegWit. Turns BTC into settlement layer for elites, not P2P cash.
7/ Gatekeeping forks: Core devs control reference client. Reject big-block proposals (e.g., SegWit2x halted for no consensus). Rhetoric: Big blocks equal centralization attack. Result? BTC locked at 1MB, fees skyrocket, narrative shifts to digital gold (Epstein's 2017 pitch).
8/ The endgame? Cory Fields jumps from SegWit/LN to co-authoring Project Hamilton's 2022 CBDC white paper (Boston Fed/MIT). Designs transaction processor for digital dollar. UTXO-like but centralized. Epstein's hijack: From BTC sabotage to Fed CBDC blueprint. Coincidence? No.
9/ Maxis: Deny this? You are complicit in the hijack. BTC is not decentralized. It is Epstein-tainted, gatekept garbage.
Bitcoin Core developers have been in bed with 3-letter agencies basically forever. Epstein was not their first rodeo.
Peter Todd contributed RBF (replace-by-fee) to BTC's code in 2013.
BCH removed it in 2017.

@LauraLoomer People should read the book and make up their own minds. It's got more than 280+ citations, and there's been virtually no substantial criticism of it--just namecalling.
