If you want to fix Bitcoin, or fix the culture in Bitcoin, without first fixing yourself, you're going to have a bad time.
Here's a great place to start:

Great job, humanity.
We had 1 chance—just 1—to make decentralized energy money, and we blew it.
Our choices are: try to make a large, once-decentralized system decentralized again, or try to make a small, never-decentralized system decentralized.
My hopes aren't high for either.
https://blossom.primal.net/b13b80a7a8eb0092b9c276669251222aefe493b23848dea1122df5a76597943c.mp4
Because people are people, getting something free of centralized control is extremely difficult, and maybe even impossible.
And because people are people, the moment a new crypto or Bitcoin fork appears, people jump on it and take control of it faster than you can say "shitcoin".
In 2009, Bitcoin was the only possible exception to this, since it was largely unheard of, Satoshi’s identity was unknown, and he later disappeared, never using his coins.
It's impossible to replicate that situation today. Now the cat is out of the bag, and the world is watching.
That's the real reason why even the best-intentioned altcoins and Bitcoin forks are guaranteed to fail: human nature gets in the way.
Bitcoin was able to fly under human nature's radar for a few years, but eventually even Bitcoin was captured.
What hope would a Bitcoin fork have?
Don't get me wrong: I was for BIP110, and I really, 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 wish that "firing the miners" and simply switching to a new hashing algorithm could work.
If it somehow does, then I will literally cry tears of joy. I mean, this is my descendants' futures we're talking about!
The alternative to hard forking is to stay on "legacy" Bitcoin, work to make its mining decentralized again, and educate the shitcoiners using it about sound money and its importance.
It's the opposite of a quick fix, but at least its likelihood of success is slightly above 0%.
"But it's not about likelihoods," you might say, "it's about doing what's right."
I get that, and I agree. That's why I ran BIP110.
But IMO, fighting for decentralization on a large chain or on a small chain are equally good, so I'm left with considering likelihoods of success.
I genuinely hope and pray that Luke and those following him will manage to protect their small network from those who would take advantage of it, while also protecting it from their own natures and incentives.
But if they can, it would be the first time for that to happen ... ever.
I was wrong about the miners' incentives when it came to flipping the bit or not, so maybe I'm wrong again.
God, please prove me wrong. 🙏
In the meantime, I'll keep doing what I can to make things better, where there seems to still be even the slightest chance of success.

What about running a Monetary Node (MonetaryNode.org), and staying on BTC (or "Legacy Bitcoin" or whatever) to try to reorient the discussion and culture from within, and actually have a fighting chance at freeing humanity from the fiat system?
The worst thing you could do would be to just give up, but the second worst thing would be to create a minority hard fork. We'll be divided, and then both chains will be conquered.

I'm not an expert on Monero, but I'm pretty sure that one's individual transactions can be verified, but the whole ledger and the whole supply cannot. That's an unavoidable tradeoff of its built-in privacy (which is also largely undone by the small number of Monero users).

2026-08-12 01:41:02 UTC

- reply

For me, I won't use Monero for 2 reasons:
1: The "Don't verify, trust" ethos. It prioritizes privacy over verifiably sound of money, and while both are important, it's putting the cart before the horse.
2: Tail emissions. It ultimately has an infinite supply to pay the miners rather than relying on a completely free market and difficulty adjustments, which is a deal-breaker for me.

No no. You misunderstand. It's assuming that BIP110, while having a small minority of node support, had at least as much node support that BIP148 had. It also assumes that the miners activated SegWit because of the threat of a UASF from a small minority of nodes. Sorry if I didn't make that clear in my post.

2026-08-12 01:02:12 UTC

I'm going to turn a lot of new friends into enemies with this post, but here goes...
I was for #BIP110, and I still think it would've been best for Bitcoin. But it didn't get the hashrate it needed, so it's over.
And I will not be running or using the BLAKE2b Bitcoin.
As I see it, the are 2 types of Bitcoiners:
Type 1: Those who define Bitcoin according to a set of ideals
Type 2: Those who define Bitcoin according to market dynamics
I've long been a Type 1, and it seems to me that this dichotomy was the real cause of the divide in Bitcoin.
To the credit of other Type 1s, Satoshi seemed to be one. Granted, there wasn't a market back then, but he had ideals and embedded them in code.
To the credit of Type 2s, what is Bitcoin if it's not run by a free market? It can't be be one man's vision anymore, nor should it be.
We've seen the darker side of Type 1s before, though, with Roger Ver and others, and are seeing it again now. Such people are principled, honest, and genuinely want what they think is best for Bitcoin and humanity, even if it's not what other Bitcoiners want.
A major problem with Type 1 is that no two Type 1 Bitcoiners have the same ideals of what or how Bitcoin should be. Given enough time, if they refuse to change their views, there would be as many Bitcoin forks as there are Type 1 Bitcoiners!
We've also seen a darker side to Type 2s, with Core devs & others. Such people love freedom, want to try new experiments on Bitcoin, and will go along with whatever the market says, even if it's objectively bad for Bitcoin itself.
Given enough time, Type 2 Bitcoiners would allow Bitcoin to gradually turn into a new form of fiat. The masses that make up the market can be easily swayed with propaganda, so it's a mistake to think this can never happen.
How do we reconcile these two types?
If you stood alone in the knowledge and conviction of how Bitcoin ought to be, would it be right to fork off by yourself?
If the market wanted something obviously bad for Bitcoin, should you just shrug your shoulders and accept it?
And then there's the issue of capture. If devs, miners, and prominent influencers seem compromised to you, and to be working against Bitcoin's interests (and in this case, there's a lot of evidence to support that), then what should be done?
While I definitely see a lot of corruption and collusion in Bitcoin, I've come to realize that those are part of Bitcoin's market forces, as much as nodes, miners, traders, devs, and businesses in this space.
"All is fair in love and war," and nowhere is that more true than in Bitcoin.
So back to the issue of BIP110's failure and the hard fork as a response, I empathize with BIP110ers' Type 1 attitude of stubborn adherence to basic principles, but I also see the Type 2 points that anti-BIP110ers make about the market.
(Side note: I'm 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 an INFP. 😆)
Did BIP110 have at least as much node support, percentage-wise, as BIP148? Yes.
Were there a lot of Sybil nodes on both sides? Yes, but demonstrably much more on the Core side.
Did the miners collude against the nodes? Perhaps. It depends on what really happened with BIP148.
If the miners capitulated in 2017 because a minority of nodes threatening a UASF was enough to scare them into activating SegWit (which is what I thought I witnessed back then), then the only possibility with BIP110 is that they colluded against the nodes.
But if miners had another reason to activate SegWit, then maybe BIP110 failed simply because it didn't have enough node support, and SegWit was only activated because the miners wanted it, and the UASF runners (like myself) wrongly took credit for scaring the miners into compliance.
If that's true, then it's possible the largest mining pools have been compromised since even before 2017, and they just happened to align with the minority of node runners who were threatening a UASF.
Or they weren't compromised then and aren't now, but I find that hard to believe.
So, as a Type 1 who is sympathetic to Type 2s, I'm wondering: with colluding miners, complacent node runners, corrupted Core devs, a zealous Type 1 dev (Luke) leading the charge away from Core, a recently failed soft fork, and an upcoming hard fork POW change, what's to be done?
Hard forking won't solve anything. At best, it'll only delay the inevitable collusion/corruption that'll spring up on its network (which, being smaller, will happen sooner rather than later).
At some point, we have to stop, turn around, and fight the creeping rot head-on.
It's also important to slow down and remember what brought us to this point:
I don't want trash on my node, and spammers have no right to force me to store their junk. Simply not running a node isn't an option, since I use it for payments, and it helps decentralize Bitcoin.
I recently learned about Monetary Nodes, created by @MarketAnarchy21, which (to my limited and non-technical understanding) solves 𝘢𝘭𝘭 the problems with running a node, without needing any fork.
Where was this for the last several months? 😅
MonetaryNode.org
If I understand it correctly, running a Monetary Node would still allow others to do shitcoins on Bitcoin, but I wouldn't have to store any of it, and I'd still be able to run a full validating node.
If that's the case, then that's the technical side of the solution we need!
The other side of the solution is social/cultural. If Type 1 Bitcoiners keep doubling down on what they honestly believe Bitcoin should be, then get ready to see a lot more hard forks in the future, taking some of the best people with them, and ultimately failing each time.
If Type 2 Bitcoiners keep allowing the market to tell them what Bitcoin is, then get ready to see a lot more subtle changes that will ultimately destroy Bitcoin and make it fail in its purpose.
And if both Types keep this up, get ready to be divided and conquered much sooner than later.
So the solution I see is to first find out what Type of Bitcoiner you are, and then do all you can to see the merits of the other Type.
Bitcoin is not just ideal money, and it's not just whatever the market says it is.
𝗜𝘁 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵, 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹.
This isn't a call to stop fighting and just "get along". It's a call to hash out our differences 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦, using tweets, videos, articles, and all communication methods imaginable, so we 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 resort to hard forks from Type 1s or market-driven aimlessness from Type 2s.
Getting Bitcoin back on the right track is not a sprint, like a hard fork, but a marathon.
The way I see it, the only way forward is a steep and arduous climb, as we fight against fiat mindedness one interaction at a time.
Anything else will ultimately fail.
Thanks for reading.

"BIP110ers only have a few days to get the 55% miner support they need."
...siiigh...
No, that's not how any of this works.
We only have a few days until we start enforcing BIP110, whether miners like it or not.
Miners only have a few days before we start rejecting their blocks.

There seem to be 2 kinds of people who love freedom:
- Those who also accept accountability
- Those who try to reject accountability
This was always the difference with pre-2023 Bitcoiners and shitcoiners. It's the difference with the pro-#BIP110 monetary maxis and Coretards now.
Satoshi designed Bitcoin to be digital money that's inextricably linked to (and dependant on) reality. He understood that freedom without accountability isn't really freedom at all.
Vitalik created Ethereum because he wanted a system where he set ALL the rules, reality be damned.
Those with high time preference believe that Vitalik's version of "freedom", free from all accountability or connection to reality, is real freedom. After all, there's no one to stop you. You can do literally whatever you want. You are a god of your own little virtual universe.
But those with low time preference know that's a lie. They know that no one can escape accountability, and that's a feature, not a bug. They humbly remember that we live in a bigger universe, that accountability is the key to freedom, and that we ignore it at our own peril.
So now we have Vitalik-like, high time preference, (m)ETH heads, who call themselves "BiTc0iN MaXiS", screeching about "cEnSoRsHiP" when an extremely conservative soft fork (BIP-110) is about to make it harder for them to rule their little universes without accountability.
These useful idiots dump gigabytes of spam on your node, your property, where you're forced to store it forever without getting a sat for it. And if you shut it down, the network is centralized a little more.
But they don't care about that; they only care about getting their way.
"Run a pruned node"
"Your node doesn't matter"
"Just don't relay our spam"
"Taking Bitcoin back to how it was for 14 years is censorship!"
"You must hate freedom if you want Bitcoin to just be freedom money again."
They say they love freedom, when they really just hate reality.
They'd probably shake their fist at God for creating gravity while they fall from a cliff they just stepped away from.
They undoubtedly get SO frustrated when they can NEVER force 2+2 to equal 5.
The universe must hate freedom! It must be pro-censorship!
It's all so tiring. 🙄
But ultimately, such people don't matter. From Michael Saylor to that troll with 9 followers and a monkey jpeg avatar who just called you a retard, they're all the same. They've each chosen to touch the stove of accountability over and over again, rather than just humbly learn.
Bitcoin will continue to move forward and prove all the Peter Schiffs and the Elizabeth Warrens and the Dan Peñas all wrong.
And it will similarly prove all the Vitaliks, and the Andy Backs, and the Portland HODLs all wrong, too.
They can either get over themselves & profit, or... not.
Bitcoin is money.
Money is the foundation of civilization.
Fix the money, fix the world.
But burden the money, centralize control over it by discouraging the running of nodes, and dilute its functionality with other "use cases", and you break the money.
... and therefore the world.

The miners' economic incentives make it so they work for the node runners, not the other way around. This is why the only way for #BIP110 to fail would be for the miners to somehow ignore those incentives. It's not impossible, but it's incredibly improbable.

I agree, but I'm not making assumptions here (I'm not trying to, at least).
Is it an assumption that mining costs money? Is it an assumption that, once mandatory BIP-110 signaling begins, miners would be playing Russian Roulette with their businesses, risking losing blocks that the nodes might reject? Is it an assumption, then, to say that miners have a lot to lose and very little to gain by opposing BIP-110, while node runners have a lot to gain and very little to lose by running it? The incentives are all there, with no assumptions required.
I'm not saying BIP-110 is inevitable, but as long as people continue to look out for their own interests, and as long as Bitcoin mining isn't already irreversibly centralized, then why wouldn't miners signal for BIP-110? Why would they choose to act against their own interests?

2026-06-28 14:48:46 UTC

A friend of mine recently texted me and asked:
"Does it appear #BIP110 will succeed?"
You'll find the answer I sent them below. I hope you find it helpful, in case you or someone you know is wondering this, as well.
"Short answer: Yes, IMO. It has several times more node runners supporting it than BIP-148 had in 2017, but what's even more important is the game theory around the prisoner's dilemma in which the BIP places the miners.
Basically, the miners have a lot to lose & practically nothing to gain by ignoring/resisting BIP-110, but the node runners have practically nothing to lose & a lot to gain by enforcing it. Miners that choose to ignore or fight it risk wasting electricity & losing blocks they had previously found (which could ruin their business), while miners that signal for it risk nothing. They don't want to start signaling their support for it too early, though, because they want to keep their competitive advantage over other miners, so they likely won't start signaling for it until they have to (which will likely be in early August).
So, unless there's a centralized & coordinated effort among the largest mining pools, or another BIP that deliberately resists BIP-110 (called a User Rejected Soft Fork, or URSF), BIP-110 will be a shoe-in. But if formerly-competing miners successfully collude to fight what the node runners want, then Bitcoin is a provably centralized & failed project, & all the bitcoin they're mining will fall in value. And there is currently no serious URSF effort, but if there were, it would be like the Red & Blue Button meme that has been going around online:
https://blossom.primal.net/d681cba93baed17144f6ad35413a8e7eff616f698b8f28158173a0e83433ef7a.jpg
A URSF would be like pressing the Blue button, & would only succeed if most node runners agree to risk hurting themselves to stop BIP-110. Everyone else (whether they enforce BIP-110, hate BIP-110 but do nothing about it but argue online, or they don't care either way) would be pressing the Red button by default, which activates BIP-110.
So this is not a technical matter nearly as much as it is a matter of game theory & incentives, which are stacked significantly in BIP-110's favor."
Fin.

There have only been 2 times since I found Bitcoin when I've heard the term "eCoNoMiC n0dEs" screeched ad nauseam by one group in order to invalidate pleb nodes:
In 2017, from the big blockers, and
in 2026, from Core supporters.
Huh.

This looks fun! It uses AI to help you write a book all about your Bitcoin story & why Bitcoin matters to you. You then gift it to your children before they inherit your sats when you pass away, so they'll hopefully value it as much as you did.

I'm not sure what my "best" piece of advice would be, but here's some advice I could think of now:
- Use pine wood chips for their bedding, not straw
- Don't change their bedding as often during the winter; their droppings will naturally add a few degrees of warmth to their coop
- Give them lots of protein, like black soldier fly larva
- That being said, they also love scraps of food, like fruits and vegetables, but they'll typically avoid citrus fruits
- In their coop, make sure their roosting bars are flat, like a 2x4 set with its wider side up; chickens won't sleep as well if they have to grip on a bar all night, so give them a place to sleep that's raised up, and wide enough for them to spread out their toes (which will be really important in the winter, when they're need to keep their feet tucked under them to keep them warm)
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have!

I want to point out that they're very nice kids. It's just that this shows one stark difference between homeschooled kids & public schooled kids.

I guess he forgot he said that?

I don't know what it looked like when Vitalik was kicked out of Bitcoin development because he wanted to turn it into what Ethereum is today.
But I know what it looks like when that happens to thousands of spammers and their apologists at once. #BIP110
And it's glorious.

Yes. And you are one of the reasons why, as demonstrated here:

If this scenario happened, and we responded exactly as Andreas said we would/should, it would be called an "aTtAcK" and we'd be accused of "cEnCoRsHiP".
Don't believe me? Ask your nearest influencer about #BIP110.

My, how the mighty have fallen. 😔
RHR used to be about Bitcoin, not about defending shitcoins and attacking those who want to restore Bitcoin to its status as hard money.

@nprofile…5adx and @nprofile…72gh have lived in Bitcoin long enough to see themselves become villains.

In 2017, Core was on the right side of history because they were fighting on the same side as the plebs.
In 2026, Core is on the wrong side of history because they're fighting against the plebs.
Do you see the difference?
In any year, fight against the plebs at your own peril.

Just putting this out there:
I'm looking to assist a Bitcoin-only company with their growth. I have experience with:
- Bitcoin education
- Community management
- Customer service
- Marketing
If you're looking to hire someone with my skills, skip the job board, and send me a DM!

Bitcoin always has been based on bushido, and the book on this topic explains a bushido that's based on Bitcoin.
Bushido is based on reality, which includes math. It's about the virtues that transcend both objectivity and subjectivity, and that which works best in bringing about the most goodness and beauty in the world.
Like the visual applications of the Fibonacci sequence throughout nature, Bitcoin's structure of proof of work, halvings, difficulty adjustments, etc, has a beautiful, mathematical elegance, founded firmly in the beautiful flow of reality.
As a result of this, interacting with Bitcoin can align our incentives with the way the universe works (i.e. lower time preference, higher virtues, etc)...but only if we allow it. We're free to resist those incentives, and with all the ugly grifting and infighting lately, it's clear that many of us are following our own way, rather than the way of truth, beauty, honor that Bitcoin was built from, and outlines for us.

Everything going badly in Bitcoin—from the spam to the Epstein FUD to the price—is a result of Bitcoiners not adhering to the bushido of Bitcoin.
A wicked man and his bitcoin are soon parted.
Many of us haven't read or internalized this book, and it shows.
