@DmtElf117@MarcanoFilms@juanpybtc@moon33_blue Don’t equivocate. I ask once more:
If Luke controls XBT and the community are simply sheep who follow his every word, why didn’t the community take his advice regarding something as consequential and controversial as the CBM? Doesn’t that fact shatter your little narrative?
It's v.interesting that BTC has seen Ocean's hash nearly double to ~6% over past few months. If that's right (and there's no funny business), it's a step in the right direction.
Can it ever beat this, though?
If not, why not?
Cypherpunks write code.
Yes. But they also had a spine.
They challenged governments, exposed abuses of power, defended privacy, and built tools that made permission obsolete.
Bitcoin was fuck-you money. Not “fuck you, I’m rich.”
It was “fuck you, you don’t get to control me.”
Now we celebrate Wall Street buying Bitcoin, cheer for stablecoins extending dollar hegemony, and call it winning.
We went from questioning the system to begging for its approval.
From freedom to HFSP. From rebellion to price targets.
And somehow, criticizing any of this makes you the enemy.
Cypherpunks didn’t write code to get rich enough to join the establishment.
They wrote code to make the establishment irrelevant.
If your revolution needs permission from the people it was meant to make obsolete, what exactly have you revolutionized?
Stop comparing Bitcoin (XBT) to Cash (BCH) and Craig Coin (BSV). You’re missing the history and the principles.
We opposed Cash in 2017 because larger blocks require more resources to run a full node, threatening decentralization.
We oppose Spamcoin (BTC) today on the same principle. Allowing arbitrary data to consume blockchain space increases the burden on node runners.
The irony? Spamcoin has more in common with Cash than Bitcoin. Both have accepted compromises we know undermine Bitcoin’s original purpose.
Before the algorithm change, SHA-256 hashrate signaling support for BIP-110 was already theoretically sufficient to launch a 51% attack against Cash and Craig Coin combined.
If you still can’t see why this is different, I’ll borrow Satoshi’s words:
“If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry.”

@CatoTheElder17@Thunder_striker@PokeBuzzyBuzz@LukeDashjr Say you’re a store owner.
SHA-256 miners leaving Bitcoin to mine their own shitcoin is equivalent to the security team you hired abandoning your store.
Did your store leave with them? Of course not. Bitcoin was just left unattended and highly vulnerable for a brief period.
Actively choosing to not fight spam.
Even facilitating more of it.
While gaslighting filters as cEnsoRsHiP.
I don’t agree with that.
And I find it hard to believe it is good faith behavior.
