I keep hearing arguments about how supporting Knots makes Luke Dashjr into some kind of king or monarch. You mean the guy who is the reason we actually have TWO viable node implementations instead of just ONE? Which version of reality is more decentralized, the one with Luke in it or the one without?
You want more choice, fork the codebase and start maintaining it, for free, and suffer the slings and arrows of 1,000 idiots. Nothing is preventing others from doing it, it's just that most people don't want that job.
Binary thinking is a symptom of poor systems thinking. Bitcoin isn’t anti-investment, it’s the monetary foundation that changes how risk is priced. Own productive assets if they create real value, but don’t confuse fiat-denominated paper claims with savings. Time exposes the difference.
@parkeralewis Extremely low IQ retard idea. Obviously you are clueless about investing. In a well-balanced portfolio and the spectrum of different risk tolerance of individuals, there is space for both, BTC and DATs. Morons think in a binary way. Nonsense
Maybe. If AI pulls some of the big miners toward higher-margin businesses, it could leave room for smaller, independent miners to compete again. Decentralization improves when hash power is widely distributed, not when it’s concentrated in a handful of leveraged players.
@CedYoungelman Maybe the BTC miners who are also into AI for more profit will end up opening the arena for more independent BTC miners to add to the decentralization?
Physicians for Patient Protection v. FSMB (October 2025)
Four physicians and the nonprofit Physicians for Patient Protection filed suit in the Northern District of Texas, alleging the FSMB orchestrated a nationwide censorship network to suppress dissenting medical speech under the guise of combating "misinformation."
The core allegation: the FSMB's COVID-era policy statements weren't just guidance — they were a coordinated blueprint for weaponizing state licensing boards against doctors who deviated from the prevailing narrative.
The suit names the FSMB plus state boards in California, Massachusetts, New York, Indiana, Rhode Island, and Texas, along with individual administrators.
The legal theory is straightforward: the FSMB acted as the mastermind, coercing member boards to enforce ideological conformity through license threats — a direct First Amendment and due process violation under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

Leverage creates fragility. Bitcoin was built to distribute sovereignty, not concentrate it behind debt. If the debt unwinds, the market will remind everyone why self-custody beats financial engineering every time.
@DrJackKruse The market will not be kind to MSTR or saylor. You can’t just buy up all the coin on leverage without centralizing the ownership and killing the entire value. Fuck BTC until people own it without debt attached.
Sunrise is the signal that sets your circadian clock. Sunset is the cue that prepares it for repair. Both matter, but they deliver different information. If you can only catch one consistently, don’t skip sunset, but make sunrise a goal whenever possible.
@DrJackKruse I’ve been wanting to ask if Sunset is as healing as Sunrise. Where I live, it would be a chore to see sunrise but I do catch the sunset often. I’ve been in love with the Sun longer than I’ve known about you and soak it up whenever I can. ☀️
Dostoevsky understood that the hardest deception is self-deception. Once you start believing your own lies, reality becomes almost impossible to see clearly. That’s a timeless truth.
Dose always matters. More isn’t automatically better. If you’re already under significant magnetic or environmental stress, 20 gauss may not be the right dose for everyone. The response depends on your biology, timing, and total environmental load, not just the strength of the mat.
Above all, don’t lie to yourself about the dangers of technology abuse during a magnetic excursion. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others.
We need to understand that terrestrial sunlight, magnetism, and PBM both follow the Arndt–Schulz law that small doses stimulate, moderate doses inhibit, large doses kill a process in cells and this can build health or create disease.
If you stay in the same environment that got you sick can you ever de-magnetize your blood to get well?
@DrJackKruse we also need mstr to get liquidated. You can't just use margin and buy up all the bitcoin and think that is good for the coin or going to work. BTC is shit for as long as one entity controls 200k BTC
@DrJackKruse Got MyNode model 2 yesterday and set it up. 30% synced up as of now. Get to run BIP-110. Still trying to figure out all the little things like running full nodes vs prune but over all was pretty simple process and less then $600 to do. I think more people should do it.
