@_Adrian@saylor@saylor is right to encourage caution and invoke this analogy.
My version is more controversial, but the immune system disregulation analogy is so strong I wrote an entire article about it.

Hard consensus is Bitcoin’s immune system. Fees price block space. Nodes set policy. Miners build blocks. Holders allocate capital. Protocol changes must earn overwhelming alignment, so bad ideas fail before becoming iatrogenic protocol changes. $BTC
🚨New: Achraf Hakimi after Morocco 3:0 win over Canada, “Morocco aren’t carrying Africa anymore, Africa should be thanking Morocco for keeping the continent relevant on football’s biggest stage”
🗣️ Hakimi: “People keep saying Morocco is carrying Africa. No, we’re past that. Africa should be thanking Morocco for keeping the continent relevant on football’s biggest stage.
Every World Cup, the same script: big talk, big expectations, then early flights home. Meanwhile, Morocco keeps making history, keeps beating football giants, keeps giving the continent something to celebrate.
Let’s stop pretending this is a collective achievement. When Morocco wins, suddenly everyone wants to wave the African flag. But where is that same energy when Morocco gets criticized? It disappears.
Respect is earned, not inherited. We didn’t ask to become Africa’s standard, we became it because we kept delivering. If other African nations don’t like hearing that, then the solution isn’t to complain. It’s to catch up.
Right now, Morocco isn’t following African football, we’re leading it. Until someone consistently does what we’ve done on the biggest stage, Africa should be thanking Morocco instead of acting like our success belongs to everyone”
In about 36 days, a new testnet called BIP110 goes live.
Friendly reminder Bitcoiners: it's a testnet. If you've been looking for a place to dump endless inscriptions and every kind of spam imaginable, this is literally what it's for. Enjoy 😆
@stephanlivera@adam3us@BTC_for_Freedom It's noise distracting us from Bitcoin's mission
Spam has always been with us, before bitcoin - heck even before the internet.
It takes a certain type of hubris to think they can stop spam
Bitcoin OG @ToneVays gives his full unfiltered take on the BIP-110 controversy:
"People have been convinced that just because you're able to spin up a node, that somehow you should be in control of the Bitcoin network, and that's a very dangerous precedent."
