“If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry.” – Satoshi Nakamoto • Father of @MemesAndBitcoin • #Bitcoin • $memez
If the attacks on AI and data centers as electricity hogs sound familiar, it's because they are: Just a few years ago, exactly the same misguided charges were made against crypto. @nic_carter & @gladstein helped debunk that panic. Via @reason
Influencers were offered to "collaborate" on the new "documentary" @findingsatoshi_
Why?
Because @coinbase and the other parties involved in Hijacking Bitcoin need Satoshi to be a dead small-blocker who would have loved what BTC became.
Don't believe me?
🧵👇
I miss the old Bitcoin, straight from the 'Go Bitcoin
set on his goals Bitcoin
I hate the new Bitcoin, spaz in the news Bitcoin
See I invented Bitcoin, it wasnt any Bitcoins
And now I look and look around and theres so many Bitcoins
I used to love Bitcoin, I used to love #Bitcoin
Thank you to @treechatai for sponsoring the History of Bitcoin Series!
We are going live at 2PM EDT to discuss one of the most pivotal eras in Bitcoin: The First Shots of The Bitcoin Civil War, from 2013-2015.
Please join live for the presentation and Q&A from the chat.
Satoshi is gone. Call it dead, call it finished, call it what you like—the point is the same: there will not be another.
And that, whether people are ready to admit it or not, is a very good thing.
Because as long as there is a “Satoshi,” there is a target. A person to pressure, to persuade, to threaten, to idolise, to blame. A lever that governments, committees, opportunists, and self-appointed custodians can try to pull.
Remove the person, and you remove the leverage.
That is what people fail to grasp. This is not about identity. It is about eliminating the last point of control.
You cannot pin anything on me. You cannot demand changes. You cannot insist on governance by personality, or by popularity, or by whichever group shouts the loudest this week.
For the first time, the protocol can simply be what it was always meant to be: fixed.
Set. Moving. Scaling.
No mythology required. No leader required. No permission required.
Just a system that works.
If that is difficult to understand now, it won’t be forever. Give it twenty years.
Is decentralization in the room with us right now?
Satoshi’s prediction of mining transitioning into the hands of specialists with "server farms" has largely materialized. Today, Bitcoin mining is dominated by massive industrial operations that aggregate their power into a few major "mining pools."
As of May 2026, the global hashrate (total computing power) is heavily concentrated within a small number of entities. Just two pools control nearly 50% of the entire network's power, and the top five control over 75%.
Centralization Trends Satoshi Anticipated
•Institutional Domination: Industrial giants like Foundry USA (32%) and AntPool (16%) operate at a scale individual "home miners" cannot match.
•Geographic Clustering: Approximately 68% of the global hashrate is physically located in just three countries: the United States (38%), Russia (17%), and China (13%).
•Data Center Pivot: Many large-scale miners are now pivoting their infrastructure toward AI and high-performance computing (HPC), effectively turning Bitcoin mining into a secondary function of massive data centers.
•Network Nodes: Reachable nodes also show concentration, with about 32% hosted in the United States and 15% in Germany.
BREAKING: New Bitcoin Fork
I am helping create a **new Bitcoin Hardfork** -- dropping this August, called "eCash".
- Your coins will split. For example, if you have 4.19 BTC, then you will get 4.19 eCash.
- You may sell your eCash -- or keep it. Or ignore it!
Vegas:
- Yes, I will be in Vegas next week.
- No, I won't mention this, on stage -- (that would be rude).
Our L1 Node...
- is a near-copy of Bitcoin Core.
- is Sha256d mined.
- forks via a one-time difficulty-reset -- to its minimum value. (So, mining will be crazy at first.)
- Yes, we will change the seed nodes, the name, the network magic, etc.
Codewise, the L1 will remain compatible with Bitcoin Core:
- We will continue to merge their changes (even the bad ones).
- The L1 will activate Bip300/301 via CUSF -- the core untouched soft fork. So, no lines of code will be changed, on the L1.
- The activation client will be published periodically (link below).
- We will do several bug bounty contests this summer.
- The client will be frozen 30 days prior to the fork.
Yes, there will be Drivechains:
- We have 7 in developement right now.
- Users can also submit their own.
- Drivechain is a vision of "competing L2s" -- this avoids the "dev capture" problem.
- These L2s are all Merged Mined. Miners automatically get free $.
- Our L2s are already capable of planetary scale, and onboarding 8 billion users.
- We also have a zCash-like L2, with strong privacy.
- Other L2s: Truthcoin (Prediction Markets), CoinShift (Decentralized Exchange), BitAssets (NFT etc), BitNames (Identity), Photon (Quantum Resistant).
Unlike BCH (the 2017 fork):
- There is no "Bitcoin" in the name. New name, new brand.
- You are getting advanced warning (4 months).
- We are replaying all txns (at first). We will release a coin-splitter tool.
- This is a permanent & sustainable fix to Bitcoin's problems (instead of a 1 MB to 8 MB temporary fix).
- Back in 2017, the BTC tech stack was strong, and expectations for Lightning were strong. Today, it is the reverse.
