@BitcoinBombadil Yes definitely, this is how you do decentralized filesharing!

Hi Anthony,

Since you did not reply to my DM about right of reply questions for my last article, I will try to reach you here.

On the topic of spam and spammers:
May 2, 2025: instagibbs files the OP_RETURN uncap PR #32406. Eleven seconds after the bot announces it in #bitcoin-core-dev IRC channel, instagibbs writes "fanquake please lock for now."
fanquake locks the PR within the same minute. You then add the "Needs release note" label to the now-locked PR.
Fifteen minutes later you joke on IRC about labels being a way to "inscribe comments via github label edits."

Four operational acts by three devs that were instrumental in the OP_RETURN uncap sequence, inside a sixteen-minute window. The PR was filed, lock-requested, locked, and label-administered before any community engagement could begin.
Four questions:

1: Was the sequence prearranged?

2: Do you consider this a proper and responsible way to conduct Bitcoin development on a contested protocol change?

3: Considering the great controversy and polarization, was your inscription joke fitting for the moment?

4: The same three of you, you and instagibbs and fanquake, ACKed and merged PR #27832 in June and August 2023, the documentation amendment that narrowed the scope of -datacarriersize, later used to close Luke's filter patch. The same three then executed the May 2 sequence on and around the PR that would uncapOP_RETURN. Coincidence?

Three BIP110 blocks in the last 24 hours 😍

We found the WORST performing BTC treasury company.

Nakamoto bought ~$679 MILLION of BTC at an average price ~$118K - and held it all the way down. They’ve lost about $224 Million in less than a year, selling only 284 BTC at ~$70K 3 months ago.

Now, they’re down over 35% on their BTC holdings, and their stock price is down 99.4% from $1,000 to only $5.60.

Sensible voices are (finally) breaking through with AI. @mitchellh one of the best ones.

“I use AI all the time. I like AI. The point I'm making is to not blindly accept results. Think. Analyze. Learn.”

The final stage has been reached. Bitcoin Knots and DATUM Gateway are now in stable backport! 🤩
That means any stable Debian installation can now install knots and datum with just a few commands!

It can difficulty be simpler than that!

[Dathon Ohm / BIP-110 @dathon_ohm]

BIP-110 now has a three-day signaling streak, thanks to this latest block from @BarefootMining!

Also, there are now 5 signaling blocks this period.

Bitcoin is on its way to being the world's preferred money!

Qwen 3.7-max beats Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5

We tested three frontier models on a real agentic task: write a Tetris bot that plays the game and trains itself. Each model could read its own code, run benchmarks, and rewrite itself across 10 iterations. Then we compared the final bots head to head.

Qwen 3.7-Max: training cost $1.32, bot improvement +56%
Claude Opus 4.7: training cost $12.15, bot improvement +28%
GPT-5.5: training cost $2.85, bot improvement +7%

Qwen won on every dimension - biggest jump, 9× cheaper than Claude, 2× cheaper than GPT. Long agentic loops is where Qwen Max actually delivers.

20/
The PR had 423 thumbs-down against 105 thumbs-up.

Ava Chow had said publicly in Dec 2023: "If it is controversial, then we don't touch it."

It was merged anyway.

Luke Dashjr was muted on the PR. Bitcoin Mechanic was muted on the PR.

What happens when you post a real Monet and say it’s AI? The coolest art social experiment I’ve seen in a while. Thank you @SHL0MS

[Pierce Boggan @pierceboggan]

VS Code was already used by millions of developers for agentic coding. However, the editor layout has traditionally been optimized for single-task and single-workspace workflows.

Today, we're introducing a new window to enable our users (and ourselves!) to work with multiple agents across multiple projects: Agents.

Now available in VS Code stable!

@PakoVM Except there are filters and a fork.

[Giovanni's BTC_POWER_LAW @Giovann35084111]

I gave the example of the elephant.

If the food is there, the tusks will grow according to a power law. But the law does not magically create the food. The growth requires resources.

Bitcoin is similar. It needs “food” too: users, miners, capital, infrastructure, liquidity, energy, developers, institutions, and social adoption.

The interesting part is that power laws are often sustained by feedback loops. Growth attracts the very resources needed to continue the growth. More adoption brings more liquidity. More liquidity attracts more capital. More capital builds more infrastructure. More infrastructure makes Bitcoin more useful and resilient. That, in turn, supports further adoption.

So is the price increase inevitable?

Not in a mystical or guaranteed sense. But if the network remains alive, open, secure, and useful, then the power law suggests that sustained long-term growth is the natural trajectory of the system.

It is not destiny. It is conditional inevitability.

Given the evidence so far, Bitcoin remains one of the strongest examples we have of a human-made system growing like a natural one.
