Illegitimate bitcoin transactions: the longstanding compromise on transaction sizes, how Taproot accidentally blew it up, and the nascent NFT protocol emerging in its wake

@jack @jack why don’t use dids like in your web5 in NOSTR, instead of static public keys for identities?

1/ The long awaited $sBTC whitepaper just dropped.

Nothing can beat a firsthand read of the paper yourself, but having read through the whole thing, here are a few key takeaways and topics to focus on:

[Bruce Fenton @brucefenton]

An open letter to SEC Chair Gary Gensler

I’ve been in #Bitcoin 9 years & have been a registered & licensed securities professional for 30 years. I’m a FINRA registered principal & majority owner of an SEC registered broker.

Let’s talk SBF/ FTX, DC politics & transparency:

[⚡️🌙 @dystopiabreaker]

alexey pertsev sits in jail without charge for publishing privacy preserving cryptography while SBF sits in his $40M mansion, bought with stolen customer deposits, taunting us on twitter and having NYT puff pieces published about him

Hard to overstate how bad this was: FTX had a 5% yield product, and generally “appeared safe”. A large share of FTX App users would have likely just used Coinbase instead if they had had this product.

[clay @crabbylions]

once the dust settles, on-chain systems are the inevitable phoenix from the ashes of the CeFi self-immolation

[Warren Davidson 🇺🇸 @WarrenDavidson]

Anyone attacking self-custody is telling you they oppose individual freedom. They don't trust you and they want someone who they can control to control your assets.

Pass my Keep Your Coins Act to protect self-custody and #DefendFreedom.

[Nobody Special @JG_Nuke]

I could talk about the FTX collapse for hours on end. But there's no time! Here's the whole awful glorious mess crammed into 99 seconds. #FTX #FTXCRASH #MelonHead

[2670.eth @punk2670]

Do Kwon, Kyle Davies, Zu Shu, SBF, but it's the kid that wrote some of the Tornado source code that's in jail

[Daniel Batten @DSBatten]

The need for Bitcoin mining to mitigate methane just got bigger.

"Emissions from the flaring facilities of methane are 5 times greater than previous estimates by the EPA"

5x!

That's 5x more reasons to pull our strongest lever to reduce climate change

[Troy Cross @thetrocro]

Mining on 50 landfills = CO2(e) neutrality for bitcoin

#opensource is not a crime.

#privacy is a human right.

Thank you to our brothers and sisters in Amsterdam for going out to protest these self-evident truths.

In DeFi, “a deal is a deal” – you can’t back out.

Celsius was forced to prioritize paying down its $400mm+ loans on Maker, Aave, and Compound to avoid liquidation.

There is no ability to “re-structure”/renege on smart contracts.

@cburniske Some continuity in the project. One of key people@of the project left Microsoft for Block. https://t.co/XaF76QswkA

Other than the DID, typically *nothing else* is at the blockchain level. No smart contracts. No virtual machine like EVM. And therefore no new token to secure a separate global ledger.

(The no new token is certainly a selling point in some Bitcoin circles.)
