I don't make these calls very often, but I think this is a very good time to buy #Bitcoin for the long term again.
Risk/reward is very attractive and most on-chain & traditional TA indicators are very bullish.
Bottom is likely in.
Stop Loss around $16,300 for the extra prudent.
@ODELLXYZ Based.
Now say that you're against spam and let's have serious discussions about the issues at Core and BIP110.
It's time, letting unresolved problems fester never end well.
@EU_Commission If you replace democracy with bureaucracy, this post makes perfect sense.
The EU and its bureaucracy is the enemy of what matters; the European population and civilization it tries to replace by flooding it with third world savages.
The EU needs to be replaced.
@nvk Never saw a cypherpunk get offended by words. Cypherpunks write code.
If you get offended by words, you have no business writing code for Bitcoin, it means you're mentally unfit to contribute in any form.
Sorry, I don't make the rules.

Federal tax authority. National electoral institute. Four state governments. 195 million taxpayer records. Voter records. Government credentials.
ALL GONE 💀
@hodlonaut "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."
I guess in Adam's case, as with the most vocal anti-BIP110 like Lopp, it's his "investments".
@satofishi You must have missed a few episodes while you were in space. The attack came from an attempt to co-opt some of the devs this time. BIP110 is simply a reaction to that.
Don't trust, verify!
@nvk Or it's simply proof that increasing the block size as a compromise to big blockers during segwit was a mistake (thanks Andy).
Bring back 1MB, full blocks and zero tolerance for spam.
@murchandamus You still don't get it. What's criticized in V30 was the form & communication. Inviting spammers to use OP_RETURN, raising the limit to absurd levels without justification, brigading the repo, merge despite the controversy, all delivered by a economically illiterate woke DEI hire
@CoinCornerDanny Do your own research.
But please go ahead and try to convince us not to support it as this seems to be your intention along with pissing off part of your customer base.
The arguments have been rehashed for months, I doubt you have anything original to add to the known Core slop.
@hodlonaut Tbf, if I was living in Canada rn, I would probably feel quite defeated and depressed as well.
Optimism is not something you can proclaim, it's a state of mind.
@Pledditor To be fair, the slop that has been pushed out by Core maintainers lately, almost drove me crazy as well.
I'm with Matthew on this one, he may have gone a bit too hard, but most of his outrage is justified.
@ttmygh Bitcoin uses vasts amounts of very real energy to move electrons inside microchips in the real world.
Bitcoins may not exist in any physical form, but its existence and value are tied to real physical energy and time.
Stop all the mining (which is impossible) and Bitcoin stops.
@eric_lombrozo@nvk Apparently, we can't fire the devs, no matter how egregious their actions are.
To kill Bitcoin, all you have to do is pay some woke developers to work on Bitcoin long enough to gain credentials to be able to brigade the repo and block any BIP that would fix this problem 😅
@lopp Go do it on another blockchain, there are many interesting chains that aim at doing just that. Bitcoin is exclusively a peer to peer cash system. That means strictly monetary use.
@zndtoshi I've seen it.
This is going to happen again and again for long as Core refuses to fix its internal governance issues and come clean about some mistakes made in the past.
@BitMEXResearch@LuganoPlanB@paoloardoino Look, when you reach a point where you end up openly arguing and advocating for spam on the blockchain (even just for fun), maybe you should stop and think about what lead you here and where you went wrong.
Ideological capture is real.
