They didn't have much in terms of material possessions and luxuries but they had community, family and a sense of purpose, all of which are lacking in today's society.
@MarylandHODL21 Also how do we expect other sovereigns or nation states want to continue significant adoption versus gold when bitcoin has a US based stranglehold not just on ownership of the asset/money but also the consensus rules it probably freaks them out.
For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

@jackmallers@Strike Thanks for doing the right thing for bitcoin. People can make mistakes my god that’s how we grow. Bitcoin feels like it’s at another crossroads
@saylor@thepowerfulHRV Really weird Saylor hasn’t been engaged all year and now daily wants to give a libertarian take. It’s the opposite of statist node runners are voting individually in the most decentralized way from the bottom up. And who doesn’t want monetary purity?

FOUNDRY ASKS MINERS TO VOTE ON BIP-110 SIGNALING
Foundry USA Pool has begun asking its mining customers how the pool should signal on BIP-110.
According to an email sent to pool account owners, votes are weighted by each participant’s average 10-day hashrate.
Foundry says it will follow the majority of hashrate votes during the signaling period. If more than 51% of voting hashrate supports BIP-110, the pool says it will signal “Yes” with 100% of its blocks. If a majority opposes it, the pool will not signal support.
The move is notable because Foundry is the world’s largest Bitcoin mining pool by hashrate.
Rather than taking a position itself, the pool is allowing its miners to collectively determine how it votes, giving customers a direct role in one of Bitcoin’s most closely watched governance debates.
Notice many BIP110 supporters have a large family and / or a faith… and the vitriol against BIP110 comes from single loners who dabble in fiat games.
There are no coincidences.
@saylor@Excellion Really eerie that he’s against this basic Bip suddenly — not making me feel great as a shareholder of mstr. These ceos are all tripping and it really makes you realize Kratter is right
Op_return was simply the line in the sand. Left unchecked, corporate interests will destroy everything that makes Bitcoin Bitcoin.
If you want Bitcoin to succeed, you have to fight for it.
Their strength is capital and marketing, our strength is numbers, and morals.
@start9labs@bendthekne3 Just ordered mine last week to start signaling in the next couple weeks. Everyone needs to do their part to vote on this issue to push the network in the direction each node runners thinks is the right one. Bip 110 makes the most sense
