I don't run into a lot of normative American grown ups that absolutely must make a Bitcoin transaction at any given time.

Did a podcast search for "ColdCard". Found a some seriosuly retarded, Bitcoin Ideology podcasts. A lot of cope. A lot of invocations of the word "community". Talking about Bitcoin like a "fight" or a "revolution" -- generally an extension of the host's personal anarcho-LARPatarian radicalization.

If you transact in a sufficiently important amount of Bitcoin (on-chain), you lock in and quadruple-check the transaction before you hit send. And then you immediately go to a block explorer website to see what the status of the transaction is, so you know nothing went wrong -- nothing ever does go wrong, if you set up the transaction correctly but your monkey brain stresses out regardless.
A person who is stealing funds is doing this. He's checking a block explorer website, with a paid account, so his IP address and any other activity he's done on that website are probably logged. This is because he's probably just a paid programmer in Ukraine who doesnt run his own node -- he's had an LLM help him construct the program that steals the funds, but he doesn't understand that his activity on a website now could land him in prison.

I'm not saying it's failed money.
I'm saying that bitcoiners fail consistently at making the case that it's money, because they think people want to listen to them nerd out on a dead-end economic philosophy.
The hilarious part is if bitcoiners joined us on planet Earth, where nobody gives a shit about Austrian econ, bitcoin would still be fine. It would poop out blocks every 10 minutes.
So I think bitcoiners are not really advocating for Bitcoin, but instead LARPing in some really boring world they've built in their autistic little heads.

The worst thing about bitcoiners is how they already live in a future state in their head where bitcoin has just naturally won. They cite a dead school of economics to justify this outlook. It's inevitable, they say, according to podcasters quoting dead economists.
But in the present, they're basically the babadook meme, scaring away everyone who isn't as big a crank as they are.
How do current these current and supposed future states exist on the same timeline?

2026-07-20 13:15:17 UTC

I don't think it's about network share. Those are empty numbers that can be manipulated. It's about economically relevant nodes that originate high volumes of transactions (e.g. exchanges, swap services, etc...). If none of those entites are signaling BIP-110, the miners can't be bothered to care. After user activation, BIP-110 will immediately drop in hash rate and transactions will take hours or days to confirm at a safe depth. It will die so fast, and so many of these amatuer outrage-addicts are going to be even more confused and angry than they already are.
