I used to be DEEP in the trenches of CT (Crypto Twitter) for YEARS as a toxic Bitcoin maxi analyst when the original #BlackRock Spot #Bitcoin ETF filing/prospectus dropped back in 2023. I remember reading this & thinking, "What the fuck are these guys even talking about?": 🤷♂️
I thought that the suits were out of touch because at that point in time, we had left forks so FAR in the past that another one was not even a consideration for anyone in the space. Yet here we are in 2026, on the cusp of the #Core / #Knots #BIP110 fork war. 🫠
This is IMMENSELY concerning & I am in the middle of writing a think piece that isn't ready for publication yet, but in the next few days I will be addressing all this shit in a very comprehensive manner. 💁♂️
I have direct experiences & historical insights that most people on #Nostr who haven't been in the #BTC space for as long as I have need to be aware of in order to make informed decisions about what I believe is coming down the pipeline. 👀
We can win this, but it requires action; stay tuned. 🤙
