My thoughts on BIP-110 and the "anti-Ordinals movement" that will attempt to fork the Bitcoin network in August 🧵
The greatest threat to Bitcoin is neither Ordinals nor Runes
It is the pervasive and dangerous ideology that took hold after the Blocksize Wars that using Bitcoin L1 is bad
Starting in 2017 a bunch of lunatics in the "Lightning ecosystem" hijacked Bitcoin and psyoped everyone into believing that making transactions on Bitcoin L1 was somehow immoral and harming children in El Salvador
Fast forward nearly a decade and here are some of the downstream effects of telling everyone to stop using Bitcoin L1
A catastrophic amount of time and resources were wasted building a now obsolete and failed "Lightning Network"
Bitcoin has now been infiltrated by feds and bankers who have normalized not only paper Bitcoin but Ponzi scheme treasury company versions of paper Bitcoin
When you joined Bitcoin a decade ago you were taught how to self-custody
When you join Bitcoin today many of the top "leaders" tell you to buy pump and dump Bitcoin proxy scams trading anywhere from 2x to 100x NAV
The vast majority of "Bitcoin maxis" have never even used Bitcoin L1 and are technically illiterate having no idea what a UTXO is
The biggest joke of all is that discouraging people from using Bitcoin L1 created the low-fee environment which allowed the data storage use case to take root
It is laughable that BIP-110 claims "data storage competes unfairly with payments"
You can transfer billions of dollars of value on Bitcoin L1 in roughly 200 bytes yet Bitcoin maxis failed so badly at creating demand for block space that it became economically viable for artists to store 4 megabyte JPEGs while competing fairly in the exact same fee market
BIP-110 is by far the least cypherpunk proposal by the least cypherpunk group of people in the history of Bitcoin
They have completely lost the plot
Instead of coming to terms with the consequences of their own decisions they are attempting to introduce radical levels of censorship to a network whose entire value proposition is censorship resistance
There are no words to describe how fragile someone's ego must be to blame artists for using a low-fee environment created by your own reckless decisions
It is not a coincidence that 67.9% of all Bitcoin transactions this week were Ordinals and Runes
While the Bitcoin maxi movement is completely going off the rails
We are the ones who actually use the Bitcoin network
We are the ones who secure the Bitcoin network by paying fees
We are the ones who understand the Bitcoin network at the deepest technical level
We are the ones who denominate in Bitcoin and actually use Bitcoin as money every single day
We are the ones who self-custody our Bitcoin and carry on the ethos of "not your keys not your coins"
We are the real Bitcoin maxis now
There is nothing more cypherpunk than running your own node and ripping some JPEGs onto a censorship-resistant network regardless of how unpopular it is
Satoshi's first act on Bitcoin was to inscribe data
We are simply carrying on the torch
Because the prior Bitcoin maxis have failed so miserably the Ordinals and Runes enjoyers have become the new Bitcoin maxis
We will make self-custody cool again
We will make experimenting on Bitcoin fun again
We will get people to use Bitcoin as a medium of exchange again
We will educate people and make Bitcoiners technically literate again
We will secure Bitcoin by creating a robust fee market and high demand for blockspace again
We will purge Bitcoin of the feds and bankers who have infected it like a disease and that starts with defeating the BIP-110 fork in August
I am calling on all $DOG soldiers, all Ordinals enjoyers, and all Runes degens to band together and fight against this BIP-110 cancer that is hell-bent on destroying the Bitcoin that we know and love
If you are against BIP-110 and agree that Bitcoin should remain censorship resistant show your support by quote posting this with "Defend permissionless blockspace. Reject BIP-110." and be sure to repost all quote posts
Long live Bitcoin
Long live Ordinals and Runes
My $DOG journey day #7 has begun! 😎
Seeing the community comes together and organize a mass buy of the token is amazing. No other token community does it like this right now!
Fading the $DOG army is going to be one of the biggest regrets of 2026 I believe firmly.
Valhalla is paved by the loyal soldiers!
With that, another dca completed! Now over 300k tokens!
See yall tmrw! 🫡
@shahh The real cult title belongs to the $DOG Army. 🫡
Actually the largest and most active BTC crypto community around right now.
The #1 memecoin in the #1 blockchain. I've been dca'ing in the past few days coming from solana.
No one else does it like this see for yourself! 🤝
Announcing The Spam Debate live on X Spaces
Are Ordinals and Runes spam?
@adam3us VS @rodarmor
Both sides will be treated fairly and given equal speaking time
Repost if you think Adam Back and Casey Rodarmor should accept this invitation
My $DOG journey day #3 has begun!😎
The community continues to be insanely active and seeing the daily X feed being so busy is great.
I think it's time to convert some more KOLS over to the army.
Not slowing down, dca #3 complete. See yall tmrw 🫡
My $DOG journey day #2 has begun! 😎
Since yesterday buying my first bit of token and interacting with the community I've realized there is none better in crypto.
The $DOG ARMY is the most legit group with insane conviction.
Never leaving, dca #2 complete. See yall tmrw 🫡
Hopefully this is a wakeup call for bitcoin influencers.
Inscriptions and runes brought a huge amount of users to bitcoin and your strategy has been to be actively hostile to them.
In that light, this outcome was obvious.
