It's nice living just a little bit out of town. Being able to do some things but also get away easily. Big difference from super small and smallish. Douglas is probably not that small compared to many.

This is why I talk with him. I appreciate that he engages and I think his heart is good. I think it’s fear of being wrong.

Don't look away. This is the future or money we are discussing.

2026-07-22 16:27:12 CEST

It's a simple question really. Do nodes matter or not?
If not, Bitcoin is broken.
#bip110 will answer this question for us all

2026-07-22 16:20:52 CEST

@npub1cj8…rz4u says even if #bip110 goes the way the plebs think it should, we were wrong? How does that work?
His arguments against, all have to do with whether he believes it will succeed, not what the bip actually does. Nothing about whether the bip is “good” for bitcoin, just whether or not it has a chance at all.

Another reason why I focus on you is because I thought you have potential. You don't seem bought and paid for as much as just blinded by the fear of being wrong. Hoping to open your eyes. Probably a waste of energy.

Or is Bitcoin to you whatever core developers tell you it is?

Bitcoin is Bitcoin. The one that trades for USD, right? Ngu technology.
I don't see it that way. Bitcoin is the people that use it as money and speak up for it as such.

Meaning, we will adapt. There will be more resistance against the institution of Bitcoin.

Bip110 could not go the way we prefer. And if that is the case, real bitcoiners will do whatever it takes. Can't kill an idea. Bip110 is what Bitcoin has always been, money.

You answered my question without answering.
We choose you because you are an easy target. It's easy to see that you are subject to social pressure above all else.
A movement of the people where most agree is different than a circle jerk that ignore their own comment section.

My question for you is, in a few weeks when bip110 is active, Wil you pretend it never mattered or will you come out and explain why you were the one that was misguided and confused? Are you going to be a man of integrity or just parrot what the others say like you have been.

This is integrity. Not like core sneaking shit in the newest release.
The UI makes you confirm like 3 times by picking the app and then asking you to confirm you want RDTS 2 times more after that.
