@Sawcruhteez I love a good theory as the next guy, but $2 billion in BTC is a blip on the radar of EUR / USD, or are you trolling ;-)

@Pentosh1 In your experience, have people gotten bullish the lower it got (even though, they should be bc of the greater upside)? For most that's counter intuitive, no? I usually observe eagerness to buy when highs are broken..

[Tracer @jointracer]

Exciting: Meta, Google, Microsoft, and Salesforce launched the Symbiosis Coalition, committing to 20M tons in carbon removal projects by 2030. We’re thrilled to see this move aligning with our mission to scale the carbon removal market. #Carbonremoval

SEC stelt beslissing over bitcoin ETF's uit. Voormalig voorzitter SEC, John Clayton, ziet goedkeuring als onvermijdelijk. #Bitcoin #ETF #SEC https://t.co/RTQCLHBaMO

[Crypto Insiders @CryptoinsidersS]

Voormalig SEC-voorzitter John Clayton zegt dat een #Bitcoin #ETF 'onvermijdelijk' is. Ondanks recent uitstel van de #SEC, blijft het optimisme hoog. Experts zien tot 95% kans op goedkeuring voor eind 2024.

Drivechains veroorzaken verdeeldheid in de BTC gemeenschap en doen denken aan de 2017 block size controverse. #ChainSplit https://t.co/a2RofVP45U

[Jimmy Song (송재준) @jimmysong]

The Case for a Chain Split

The debate surrounding drivechains has been heating up, with proponents employing various tactics to garner support. This divisive issue echoes previous disputes in the Bitcoin community, such as the 2017 block size controversy. As such, we should consider what was then the definitive resolution: a chain split.

A significant portion of the Bitcoin community rejects drivechains, effectively blocking its implementation via a soft fork. Bitcoin's voluntary nature makes it resistant to hostile takeovers, despite claims that miners could force the change. Disagree with that last statement? Then let's put that to the test. We can resolve this posturing and propaganda by forking the code.

Here's how it would work: Code implementing drivechains would be released. Those who support the proposal can run this code. A transaction that goes against drivechain rules but adheres to pre-drivechain rules will trigger a chain split. Those running the drivechain software wouldn't be doing anything, but nodes that aren't can reject the drivechain chain by using the "invalidateblock" command. The result will be two distinct Bitcoins: one with drivechains and one without.

This approach was resolved the conflict we had in August 2017, when Bitcoin Cash split off from Bitcoin. Similarly, proponents and opponents of drivechains can either hold or sell their respective Bitcoins post-split. This would be a real-world test of control and game theory within the network.

I advocate for this split not just for potential profits, but also because it's a peaceful solution. It would let us see in real time how convicted the drivechain people are. Will drivechain miners support it if it means mining at a loss? A chain split would serve as a critical learning opportunity for the community, providing a clear answer to the ongoing debate. Ultimately, this will strengthen Bitcoin by showing the market how hard it is to change its properties.

So bring it on! Fork or shut up.

Grayscale Bitcoin Trust beheert meer dan 635k BTC, 4,5x groter dan MicroStrategy en domineert ETF-achtige producten. #Bitcoin #Grayscale https://t.co/OQUyfGziq5

[ecoinometrics @ecoinometrics]

Some size context for why $GBTC is a big deal.

The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust controls more than 635k BTC.

That's like 4.5 times the size of MicroStrategy.

Simply put they dominate the ETF-like products holding spot BTC by a big margin.

Mogelijke slimme zet van SEC om anti-ETF positie te verlaten na beslissing DC Circuit. 'We zijn het oneens, maar volgen de wet' is een handige uitvlucht om te stoppen met een verloren strijd. #ETF #SEC #beslissing https://t.co/ZgFLrd2unY

[Jake Chervinsky @jchervinsky]

5/ But another theory is that the SEC will take the DC Circuit's decision as a (semi-)graceful exit from their anti-ETF position.

I'm in this camp. It's the right move.

"We disagree, but we're following the rule of law" is a convenient excuse to back out of a losing battle.
