Bitcoin is not intended to make people rich quickly, but to give you the opportunity to save your work and energy in something that will not be devalued by those who run the world. The work you do for society is valuable, and should not become less valuable over time.

Last Notes npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo Thank you for providing additional materials to explain the existence of BIP-110. Afrer reading your article carefully, you have just reinforced my convictions regarding BIP-110. npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo Wow, congrats! You successfully copy-pasted a response made by an AI. npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo Why don't you write a new note explaining to us clearly why we shouldn't support Knots and BIP-110 instead of telling us a story about how bad OCEAN is and how evil Luke and Mechanic are? I bet you can't, because you have no financial interest in doing so. npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo Alright, then move on! Go live your life and let others steal and devalue your time and energy. npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo Of course, I am confused. Seriously, your sentences are so vague and meaningless, they don't explain a thing! I appreciate you demonstrating my point lol. npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo I don't know who you're trying to convince here, but certainly not normal people who use Bitcoin as money/savings. I am not a bot, I do not run a big business, I do not have any big financial incentive to choose one or the other, I'm just a pleb, and yet I choose Knots plus BIP-110 because it is the most honest proposition that exists right now. I've read and listened to both sides, I can agree that it may not be perfect and the execution is a bit clunky, but at least they do not try to convince people with a bunch of corporate word salads and they have proper arguments to explain why people should run it to make sure Bitcoin remains honest money. I don't care if Luke or Mechanic lose their job, I don't care if OCEAN fails miserably, I don't care if miners lose money, I don't care about any Bitcoin company, all I want is Bitcoin as sound money, PERIOD. npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo Most crypto is a scam anyway. Bitcoin is money. I've never seen an ad for a currency. npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo 👀🍌 I'm ready npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo They're actively trying to do the exact same thing to Bitcoin right now with ETFs and treasury companies. They are not centralizing the protocol obviously, but instead they are progressively consolidating Bitcoin ownership. Over time, this gradually reduces the incentives for individuals to run a node and encourage self-custody. They don't need to confiscate or control it, they just need to convince enough people to give it to them, and for now, it works wonderfully. npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo Why not @nprofile…7r2q? npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo When I saw the Samurai devs go to prison for developing open source applications, I have personally become more radical. npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo Now running @nprofile…fhc5[email protected] npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo Imagine waking up on January 1st 2027, and Bitcoin is still at $95k. How would you feel? npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo Stop using centralized exchanges lol... you have many other options available. npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo So you're worried Bitcoin might get coopted eventually? Bitcoin has withstood numerous attack attempts, each of which has ultimately contributed to make it more resilient. Just because your enemy uses the same tool as you doesn't make the tool less useful. Bitcoin went "mainstream" because it was the only way for them to stay relevant, since they realized they couldn't control it. You should see this as a win, because now it puts everyone on the same level. No one can create more units and devalue your work. Regarding privacy, we can certainly enhance it over time by implementing various layers, such as ecash and coinjoin. npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo Amazing content! npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo Can you briefly explain your point? npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo Scary npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo I think if someone prefers Monero, it means they might not fully understand what Bitcoin can or could do yet. npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo +1 for Canada availability npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo And chickens have teeth now... npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo They didn't uncover the scam, corporate interests changed and they had to update their poster, that's it. npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo PARDON SAMOURAI npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo This is very sad to see. This dude is out there talking about Bitcoin all day and getting paid to do so, and on the other side he's slowly leaving the boat. npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo I just watched a podcast with Simon Dixon. He mentioned you and your company. After listening to him, I just hope you're not doing all this only to end up being absorbed by the government or BlackRock. npub18t2u0v2jl65mrxsw5h2ywu3jsl7fxnc7nngnygztcnj3hcqppuxsyc8ms8 Samu3lPo I have experienced a similar feeling in the past, as if I were carrying a significant weight all by myself. The best thing to do is to take a step back. You'll find that there are other capable individuals who will offer their support. Every Bitcoin Knots node runner is behind you man.
