It's THAT simple. Lets go. 🔒
BIP-110 already failed.
But it did accomplish one thing exceptionally well:
It exposed people.
The censorship.
The hypocrisy.
The moral grandstanding.
The tribalism.
The people preaching sovereignty while demanding conformity.
The people screaming “verify, don’t trust” while expecting everyone to blindly accept their narrative.
Pressure reveals character, and BIP-110 applied plenty of pressure.
The proposal failed.
The character test didn’t.
And some people failed that test spectacularly.
Alberta Hodl is a hard working family man and one of the pillars of the @BTCSatMarket. It pains me to see him so impacted by this crisis.
I'm also not surprised to see him dust himself off, get up, and keep grinding. What an absolute legend.
BUY THIS MAN'S BEEF JERKY!
The last 48 hours have been some of the hardest I've experienced in Bitcoin.
I've been putting out fires nonstop: helping people migrate funds in a panic, talking them through impossible situations, and breaking every protocol I'd normally insist on because there simply wasn't another option.
I've had people so overwhelmed they couldn't even type their own seed phrases. They split them across Signal, Telegram, and email in multiple parts just to get through the migration. Together we moved hundreds of bitcoin under immense pressure.
And we're nowhere near done.
There are still hundreds of people with Coldcards in single-sig setups. We still don't know how far this entropy issue extends on later models. Even confidence in older hardware has been shaken, and many people are migrating out of caution.
So I'm asking for one thing:
If you're knowledgeable and you have a few hours to spare, please help.
Help people verify their setup. Help them migrate safely. Help answer questions. Help those who have just lost life-changing amounts of bitcoin. Sometimes they don't need technical advice first—they need someone to calmly guide them through the next hour.
I've seen wallets containing double-digit BTC balances drained. It's heartbreaking, and I sincerely hope those responsible are identified and brought to justice.
What disgusts me is seeing people use this as an opportunity to score points, dunk on others for using or promoting Coldcard in the past, or somehow drag the conversation back into the endless Knots vs. Core and spam-filter debates.
This isn't the time.
People are hurting. Some have lost years sometimes decades of savings.
Be the person who helps, not the person who farms engagement.
Please help.
I går sendte jeg inn artikkelen “Epstein-kommisjonen er dømt til å feile – dette er hvorfor” til 14 av hovedstrømsmediene i Norge, med forespørsel om publisering som debattinnlegg. Jeg mener den har stor offentlig interesse.
Jeg har bedt dem vurdere som om den var sendt kun til dem. Redaksjoner pleier normalt ikke å trykke innlegg som også er sendt til andre, så det har jeg tatt høyde for. Første redaksjon som svarer positivt får publisere.
Hvis de velger å ikke trykke den, har jeg bedt om et konkret svar på hvorfor. Ikke standardformuleringer, men hva de faktisk mener ikke holder.
Svarene vil si mye om hva som slipper gjennom i norsk offentlighet – og hva som stoppes.
Jeg forventer ikke publisering.
Det gjør svarene desto mer interessante.
NB. Før jeg som folkevalgt politiker begynte å stille kritiske spørsmål til selve systemet ble mine debattinnlegg ønsket velkommen. Tankevekkende.
