When an honest man discovers he is mistaken, he will either cease to be mistaken or cease to be honest.

You can't do anything about tariffs.
You can't do anything about Fed policy.
You can't do anything about Ukraine, Palestine or Iran.

You can stack sats.

@RobinSeyr @SteveSimple @ForrestHODL @Jacobsen17T Yes the hot chick is very picky. She'll dump anyone that can't hang with the conversation. She's especially quick to dump simpfluencers.

Dunking on Samson Mow is easy because he's the enemy, but he's not the only one who saw how ridiculous this situation was.

Breaking news: People in an argument sometimes hurl insults and accusations at each other. Crying that an online twitter feud was "slander" is the equivalent of children calling the teacher.

You can claim that stepping in the middle of someone else's twitter feud and demanding apologies is "pursuing justice" and pat yourself on the back like some kind of hero.

But to state that this is what "cyberhornets" do, and make contrasts with the "core chain" is quite a stretch and is an obvious attempt to make appeals to tribal thinking.

Mature serious Blake supporters just want you to stop making us look like retards.

[JS⚡₿ ⛏🌊 @jdstuart]

It was slander-for-slander, tit-for-tat childishness. Both parties eventually deleted/retracted their statements. Blowing it out of proportion and getting in the middle of someone else's argument to arbitrate is super weird where I come from.

Crying "slander" in the middle of a twitter feud is just 🙄 If you don't understand that, I can't explain it to you.

Again, just my observation.

[JS⚡₿ ⛏🌊 @jdstuart]

@cguida6 @realityblob @SpectrGen Yall are latching on to my reference to a specific person, and completely missing the point. This childish Karen behavior is a bad look to *anyone* observing.

I'm just trying to give you a heads up on how this looks from a zoomed out perspective.

[JS⚡₿ ⛏🌊 @jdstuart]

🙄Thank you for preserving truth and justice 🫡

Lol calling for more toxicity is literally the opposite "kumbaya crap".

Yelling "slander!... apologize right now or else!" is what is weak and ghey.

How is demanding that people apologize to each other not "kumbaya crap"? This is my whole point, and you're basically "I know you are but what am I"-ing my argument. 🤨

Chris Guida just called me weak! That's slander! Chris Guida must apologize now! This can't be tolerated!

GFY Chris! 🤝

[JS⚡₿ ⛏🌊 @jdstuart]

@cguida6 Yes but you handed him a perfect talking point on a platter by inserting yourself into someone else's argument and trying to be a hall monitor.

[JS⚡₿ ⛏🌊 @jdstuart]

You say at 30s… “I never really saw the support I felt was needed for BIP110 to work. That's part of why I never supported it.”

It's the *majority* of the reason why most podcast-fluencers never supported it. They put their finger in the air, didn't see "support" (from their future guests), and made their decision accordingly.

In your next sentence you say “If I had thought BIP110 was the best path forward, even if I had thought it would fail, I still would have supported it.”

...but “it’s a video for another day”...and you ran out of time.

Well, I would LOVE to see THAT video. Start with that video first, then I might take whatever else you have to say seriously.

@Fredvs79 @michelleo_21mil My dude, Michelle is an awesome bitcoiner on our team. Not sure if you misread her post or what? She hosts a bitcoin meetup group (I have attended) and is as real as they come. Slow your roll.

A message through time, still very valid today

[JS⚡₿ ⛏🌊 @jdstuart]

Well even your role model admits the importance of human consensus on value.

We could wake up tomorrow and if the whole world agreed that chocolate bars were the most valuable thing in the universe, I would want to have as many as possible.

There is nothing magical about bitcoin. Money is always a social construct.

It's not a matter of whether the dollar or oil or gold "can be killed". At the end of the day all that matters is if people agree those things have value.

[Lyn Alden @LynAldenContact]

The global financial system runs on human consensus. That's how we got to where we are now.

Using physics/energy (proof of work) to come to consensus is an innovation. It should be explored.

Using human opinions (proof of stake) to come to a consensus is to repeat.

[JS⚡₿ ⛏🌊 @jdstuart]

@RobinSeyr @mattkratter @LynAldenContact @JeffBooth Lol, that is not Bitcoin's whole claim.

Eternal vigilance is the cost of liberty.

[JS⚡₿ ⛏🌊 @jdstuart]

I'm in the Discord channel. I can see there is a lot of work to do in two weeks.

Give the plebs a lowered difficulty adjusted client so they can find some blocks in the meantime.

There is now 7 Eh/s mining on the stalled chain, making a huge sacrifice.

Let us use the time wisely.

[JS⚡₿ ⛏🌊 @jdstuart]

@cguida6 @ParadiceBTC @BitcoinMonk21 @mattkratter @GrassFedBitcoin @LukeDashjr @dathon_ohm @knutsvanholm @lukedewolf I agree, but we still have a fighting chance without a PoW change.

Do not let fear of 51% attacks stop you from thinking through this. Overcome the fear.

We can do this. We can mine at a loss for longer than they can.

A PoW change will be captured even easier, and faster.

[JS⚡₿ ⛏🌊 @jdstuart]

Whatever PoW algorithm is chosen (even at random) will still eventually be captured by people without Bitcoin's interests.

There are data centers ready to deploy whatever hardware is chosen... to a much greater degree than plebs.

Right now plebs have the upper hand.

We can't squander this opportunity.

[JS⚡₿ ⛏🌊 @jdstuart]

@Roughnecks110 @goodsnekboy A PoW change is bad for you guys.

It makes your equipment useless for anything but CoreCoin.

Please tell @LukeDashjr and everyone you know that we do not want this.

We have a fighting chance with just a difficulty adjustment.

[JS⚡₿ ⛏🌊 @jdstuart]

It actually makes it worse.

Big tech with data centers full of compute will have the ability to easily acquire whatever the new hardware is and capture it as well.

PoW change only kicks the can down the road.

But what is worse, is that it kills the huge advantage we have right now of tons of plebs (including Roughnecks) ready and willing to mine at a loss for our cause.

Change the PoW and you're telling Roughnecks that their hardware is no good. You tell them they have to go back to mining Core Coin.

The fear of a malicious attack from corporate mining is really unfounded. They have demonstrated they just want to ignore us. They would not be willing to sacrifice profit to mine some empty blocks with no reward on our chain.

[JS⚡₿ ⛏🌊 @jdstuart]

100% agree

Our main advantage right now is willingness to ideologically burn energy (with our sha256 equipment) to support our cause.

The enemy does not have this... even in the slightest.

A PoW change takes away our weapons and gives us nothing... and instead puts everything in the hands of big tech industry.

PoW change is such a bad idea. There are bad actors eagerly hoping we do this.

PoW change moves the goal posts to a completely different field that no one is playing on.... a field that big tech can trivially take over easily.

The fight just becomes some weird cat and mouse battle over hardware, that plebs can never win.

The path forward is a simple difficulty adjusted client.

Then Roughnecks and a mass of pleb miners can continue the fight. (3 Eh/s of power)

The instantaneous pushback to this is, "but what about a hostile 51% attack?"

It only takes a few moments to realize this is not a huge deal breaker.

First, it would require them to sacrifice 3 Eh of hash just to mine empty blocks with no reward.

Second, they would only do this for a short time before they would move on. Ideological pleb miners will not give up or move on. Plebs are willing to mine at a loss for the cause for as long as it takes.

I understand the idea of pow change sounds good.
In practice, it hands control back to big tech.

[JS⚡₿ ⛏🌊 @jdstuart]
