"No one has come up with a good reason why we need BIP-110"

Here you go:

[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

When I was Muslim, I used to ask Christians:

“If Jesus was really God, why did He eat, sleep, and bleed like us?”

And honestly, I used to ask it with pride like it was some unbeatable argument.

But later I realized something:

That question was not exposing Christianity.

It was exposing my misunderstanding of what kind of God Jesus claimed to be.

Because the real question is not:

“Why would God become weak?”

The real question is:

“What kind of God would willingly step into human suffering at all?”

Islam taught me about a God who was distant and untouchable.

But Christianity introduced me to a God who stepped into hunger, exhaustion, grief, pain, betrayal, blood, and suffering with us.

And suddenly His humanity stopped feeling like weakness to me.

It became proof of love.

If Jesus ate, it means He came close enough to experience hunger beside us.

If He slept, it means He embraced the exhaustion we carry.

If He bled, it means He did not stand above suffering watching us from a distance.

He entered it Himself.

Philippians 2 says Christ emptied Himself and took on flesh.

Not because He stopped being God, but because He wanted humanity to finally see what God is actually like.

And it turns out God is willing to suffer for the people He loves.

That changed everything for me.

Because every other religion demanded sacrifice from humanity.

Jesus became the sacrifice Himself.

And no prophet in history ever claimed that.

There are two types of politicians.

Avoid both.

How MSTR Can Go To Zero

[Knut Svanholm ∞/21M @knutsvanholm]

Bitcoin is not apolitical, it is anti-political.

Separating money and state IS removing the state.

Bitcoin is for people who don't want to be coerced by criminals who happen to have won a non-voluntary popularity contest.

It is an antidote to politics.

That's the whole point

[Softfork Mechanic #BIP-110 @GrassFedBitcoin]

If I saw a malicious soft fork emerge with thousands of nodes being run in a non-astroturfed capacity I'd be championing a URSF movement *immediately*.

I wouldn't be sitting around mocking it and pretending it'd just fail.

The fact that this hasn't happened with BIP-110 is because it's a good idea and the opposition doesn't have any cause to unite people around - all it does it reduce arbitrary data in Bitcoin which simply makes Bitcoin work better as money.

Huge progress update. We will soon have Cashu Ecash mints in secure enclaves that the mint operator can't steal the Bitcoin from, not can they inflate or manipulate the Ecash supply.

The operator has no access to the private keys of the mint. This is amazing news for users and operators alike.

It allows us to build tools for communities that allow them to run mints without being afraid of malicious actors, internally or externally, such as security threats from hackers.

We're building this for the Bitcoin community first but we're planning to expand this also for local currency communities outside of the crypto space that exist in pockets all around the world. Especially the local currency tech stack is old and antiquated. We're going to give them the most advanced ecash protocol they could ever dream of. For free!

Lots of moving parts here: servers, libraries, backend, wallets, and protocol extensions. Incredible work by the entire Cashu team.

Why BIP-110 is a lot more likely to succeed than people realize.

[Robert Allen | RUN KNOTS @SatoshiSound]

@MrHodl @MartyBent @Adelgary She still has no idea what a blockchain is.

[Robert Allen | RUN KNOTS @SatoshiSound]

@SBakerMD is right. Eating steak with a big knife tastes better.

[JuanGalt.com @JuanSGalt]

RIP Ugly Old Goat.

A father, a friend, a mentor. A man of God, a man of Bitcoin. A writer, a trader an analyst.

His blog posts are deeply insightful into the nature of markets and trading, and his incredible life journey, his many lives lived are worthy of a biography and movie.

Rest in God's grace my friend.

@UglyOldGoat1

[Robert Allen | RUN KNOTS @SatoshiSound]

@JuanSGalt I'm going to miss him! He was a good friend and mentor to me. Sad to hear he's no longer with us, but happy to know I'll see him on the other side in Glory. RIP Conrad!

⚠️ BIP-361 logic: steal people’s money before someone else can.

It’s never been more crucial that you protect yourself from bad actors like Jameson Lopp and use Bitcoin as permissionless money via your own sovereign node. 🧡

[Fred Krueger @dotkrueger]

Satoshi's coins should not be frozen.
Let them be quantum mined.

The network will adjust.
Proof of work.

[Softfork Mechanic #BIP-110 @GrassFedBitcoin]

Disgraceful.

Forcing Satoshi to choose between proving he is alive before he may want to or lose access...

That's a ploy to get him to betray his identity.

Because of what? Fear a thief may cause a dip in price?

Eject these fools.

[Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreytucker]

Covid wiped out an entire generation of intellectuals, not in mortality but in reputation. Supposedly fearless scholars succumbed to the transparently absurd propaganda and became regime apologists. Now they all look ridiculous, with book sales dead and followers dispersed.

bitcoin’s lightning network also works exactly like this when making a payment

Skyrocketed miscarriages and stillborns in 2021

It will take 50-100 years for the medical industry to earn back trust.

[Wicked @w_s_bitcoin]

NACK. Forcing migration at the consensus layer is too heavy-handed, especially given the likely tradeoffs in cost, efficiency, and usability of PQ schemes.

Bitcoin has historically relied on voluntary adoption, wallet defaults, and fee incentives rather than protocol-level coercion. That approach should be exhausted first.

The quantum threat remains theoretical, and the economics of such an attack make it unlikely to target the vast majority of users, particularly smaller UTXOs that would fall below the cost threshold of exploitation.

Introducing hard deadlines and invalidating legacy signatures risks unnecessary disruption and sets a precedent for protocol-enforced fund restrictions that Bitcoin has largely avoided.
