My heart goes out to the folks who have to tell their wives tonight that the reason they’re down/sad is that they fought a war against a 4x more expensive & less harmful way to inscribe dickbutts on the Bitcoin blockchain and lost

Making good Christian bitcoiners gay and retarded with wizard JPEGs one at a time

Strange day

1. Bitcoin ATH
2. Richard still down -35% on his $600m ETH buy from last year
3. Both hexican chicks who lost $50k+ to me are broke and can’t pay

Yeah, we're about to enter the GREEN 🟩

And to those of you in the old school who believe this is a bubble, you simply have not understood the new mathematics of the blockchain (or you did not care enough to try). Bubbles are mathematically impossible in this new paradigm

if bitcoin used proof-of-stake you could slash individuals miners who mine spam blocks using social consensus

Have you ever said thank you to Udi once for making enough ugly JPEGs to accelerate
and reach the inevitable conclusion of the ideological divide in Bitcoin we’re now seeing?

Let’s face it; most of you are too dumb to understand the OP_RETURN drama, so you’ll lean on the opinions of others to try to triangulate the morally and technically correct position

But if that’s your dilemma, how is it even a question?

Left vs right. Choose your warrior

It’s terrible that there’s disagreement on the Bitcoin network in what transactions should get into the blockchain but I’m so happy there’s an amicable solution that works for everyone which is just that some node runners run Knots — solves the problem and everyone is happy!

Bitcoin Cash people telling me I should come over to BCH because they have an opcode I want makes me feel like when my friend in Pakistan I used to play World of Warcraft with ages ago says I should move to Pakistan because his house has a bidet spray/bum gun (which I don’t)

I think bitcoin needs to become a MoE eventually, else another crypto becomes the payment MoE (if you’re turbo-bearish fiat), and I believe there is a real risk that whatever captures the MoE use case in crypto ends up re-capturing the SoV use case too, if it’s similar ”enough”.

I was today years old when first I realized that virtually 0 bitcoin clients/node implementations out there do any form of surgical pruning whatsoever, not even witness pruning, at all. They all just throw away whole blocks over time. To keep you within your pruning limit. Lol

Hexicans be like ”put your money where your mouth is!” and then proceeds to stuff all their money up Richard’s arsehole, which, to their credit, is where their mouth is

The ETHBTC ratio did not go down because of ”The Merge”

The ETHBTC ratio collapsed because:
- societal value rotation out of "feminized wef soyboys in unicorn t-shirts" into "bronze age mindset" broadly
- ethereum always occupied a vertical more prone to competition
- l2s confused the ETH asset value capture narrative and caused network fragmentation
- eth does not have a saylor buyer
- bitcoin and gold are maturing into wartime assets whereas the peacetime asset ETH struggles
- ETH also struggles to even look nerdy/smart/futuristic compared to AI which is the new hot ball of money for that investor type
- ethereum also stagnated into a depressingly small number of defi primitives relative to what past expectations were

*Not* the Merge.
