The block size war in 2017 proved that miners don't control Bitcoin - nodes do.
The spam war in 2025-26 will prove that developers/maintainers don't control Bitcoin - nodes do.
History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes.
@Badaliensinfo This is neo Marxist bulkshit. How else is civilization supposed to function? A top-down authoritarian control matrix? No thanks.
Once you give up freedom and the ability to follow what God wants for your life, civilization is over.
@SenseReceptor And still Fitts doesn't understand how this is one of the best attributes of Bitcoin. It can't be taken from you when held in self-custodity.
It seems a striking paradox central bankers...think in terms of having a "targeted" rate for inflation without realizing that that rate should be zero! This paradox, or my perception of it, was what led me to the concept of "Asymptotically Ideal Money"

I’ve been through 2018. I’ve been through 2020. I’ve been through 2022. Every time felt like this. Every time I held. Every time I was glad I did. This is not financial advice. This is pattern recognition.
@Breedlove22 Decentralization vs. Human Nature: Can a decentralized system like Bitcoin truly work long-term given human tendencies toward hierarchy, corruption and centralization of power?
It’s more likely the Deep State created Shitcoins than the Deep State created Bitcoin.
If the Deep State created Bitcoin, then that would be a terrible chess move for the Deep State.
But Alt-coins are a “perfect” Deep State chess move.
Run Knots + RDTS
Stay wary. Filters up!
Bitcoiners need to pull their heads out of the sand and defend the quality and integrity of the Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System that Satoshi created.
Bitcoin has been under obvious attack by SpamScammers since 2023.
Run Knots + RDTS + DATUM + Ocean to subdue the attack.
Bitcoin has pierced the 200 Week Moving Average 6 times since 2016.
1 of those was in 2018.
1 of those was in 2020.
3 of those were in 2022-2023.
1 of those times is today.
You said you'd buy the dip.
The world is giving it to you on a silver platter:
I love my new Seedsigner from @btc_hardware
Paid with bitcoin over ⚡️
@COLDCARDwallet@nvk this is what you get for saying that your customer's opinions don't matter.
BIP-110 summer coming ☀️
❗️The Zcash bug (uncovered by Claude Opus 4.8) likely minted unlimited counterfeit ZEC.
They two options: let buyers eat the fake, valueless supply or push a backdoor fix that shreds the privacy pretense.
⚠️ Zcash is a failed Silicon Valley software startup.
@AdamBLiv There are ways of buying Bitcoin that are sovereign, and then there is getting “exposure” to Bitcoin via Strategy and the ETFs.
I’m sorry but they are not the same thing. Crazy that we have to explain “not your keys not your coins” in 2026.
