it's gonna be one of those weeks

#StacksHackerHouseBA

[eric @ECBSJ]

who else had a transition from poker to bitcoin?

@in3rsha's shares how his web dev skills enabled that crossover to kickstart the educational bitcoin website, Learn Me A Bitcoin.

now it's more than just a static site, it's packed with hashing utilities, an explorer, and more

[eric @ECBSJ]

@bitscriptapp yup saw it before, t'was jk

[eric @ECBSJ]

@alexlmiller @Stacks sounds like the locking script executed exactly as intended

[eric @ECBSJ]

i think we're on different pages here.

i wasn't necessarily arguing on the trust assumptions part, but rather more on the sociological/economic front of what i'm seeing play out with current efforts of Bitcoin L2s. i more or less see eye to eye with you on what should constitute as "the only environment where BitVM can actually minimize trust assumptions". no rebuttal there.

"Like it or not EVM has been battle-tested 100-1000x more than any other ecosystem."

also, your statement here further affirms my take

[eric @ECBSJ]

bitcoin L2s went from providing new application layers tied closely to the L1 to now realizing BitVM can potentially tie the L1 closest to the 2nd biggest honeypot in crypto, ethereum.

and you're already seeing this play out with the dozens of “Bitcoin Vault” plays, BTC-backed borrowing for evm assets, and the inheritance of evm toolsets.

the sad thing is, there was never any interoperability between the bitcoin L2s nor has there ever been any attempts. it's now becoming a race to see who can export BTC into evm land the fastest and with the least trust assumptions.

i'm hyper-postulating here, but I won’t be surprised if BitVM gets us to a place where we mentally default ethereum as the de facto bitcoin L2, coming full circle with it.

@prochronist @Boltzhq now we're talking

[eric @ECBSJ]

@david_seroy im all ears

[eric @ECBSJ]

@z0r0zzz interesting, further accentuates my hypothesis

[eric @ECBSJ]

@godfred_xcuz “will Ethereum culture accept becoming L2?”

eth heads r flexible, they'll be fine

[eric @ECBSJ]

@btcplusplus did Lucas presenting here provide a link to his test results?

[eric @ECBSJ]

@btcplusplus would have loved to see a side-by-side test run of that fuzzer

[eric @ECBSJ]

@Bitcoin_Devs @OsloFF will this be livestreamed and recorded?

[eric @ECBSJ]

@juanca_mnz hands down, nothing else comes close

[eric @ECBSJ]

@in3rsha our chat truly was a reminder on how simplicity, dedication, and intention can never be replaced

[eric @ECBSJ]

@RaphaStacks Setzeus handed over the reigns to the perfect candidate

[eric @ECBSJ]

@JakeBlockchain Happy birthday! You’re about to go from OP_CHECKSIG to OP_CHECKSIGADD in 6 days 😄

[eric @ECBSJ]

Are you building a bitcoin related devtool/protocol and want to share all its bells & whistles? DM me and let's record the next episode on 'Peeling Bitcoin'.

For the full episode with Greg:

[eric @ECBSJ]

learnmeabitcoin .com is goated amongst educational bitcoin resources

it's got the best explainers and it's packed with utilities

was a pleasure chatting with @in3rsha diving into everything: from the genesis story to how Tachyons is his preferred CSS framework, and much more

[eric @ECBSJ]

@RaphaStacks the view is always better from the jersey side
