Jonathan Bier himself admitted that he and other suitcoiners had backroom dealings with miners to accept BIP148 in 2017, and reject BIP110 in 2026.
Make of that what you will. UASF was never the real story. Bitcoin is dead because mining is centralised.

Bitcoin has a mining centralisation problem, and no one has a solution to it.
BIP110 side is taking action, albeit extreme and seemingly reckless.
Anti-BIP110 has no solution, and simply just apathetic to the problem.

As much as I hate it, I really need @nprofile…2n02's thoughts on what happened and the current state of Bitcoin.
I wish I could be confident and satisfied with my own views, but alas Booth’s perspective is just more of a signal than any other’s.

Just like how the market decided fractional reserve banking wins over full reserve banking, and when the consequences of a bust comes due, the market asks the government to step in to bail out the system to prevent a system collapse.
Is the free market in the room with us now?

Because we know the fabian tactics they use to infiltrate and subvert ideas.
Is Bitcoin immune from subversion?
If Bitcoin is as dangerous to the state as we think it is, will there not be attempts to attack it? If so, is subversion of an idea is even more effective than killing the people who holds that idea? I believe it is. What do you think?
If there is an attempt to subvert Bitcoin’s idea, what could it be?
Bitcoin is censorship resistant data storage?
We already have censorship resistant data storage, that is the literal Internet.
What could suggesting Bitcoin is just data, do to Bitcoin’s purpose as money?

i dont think starting on genesis or replaying from a specific blockheight will work out. Bitcoin is an idea that could never come about again from scratch. Only maybe if civilisation as a whole collapsed and all records of something like bitcoin gets wiped. The humans emerging from that having no memory or record of bitcoin, could it have a chance to restart again. Then again they would run into the same problems we have.
We have to get hashers making their own blocks. I think this is the only path forward. Satoshi assumed every hasher is also a block template creator, he did not forsee FPPS pools. I think incentivising hashers to mine on Datum or StratumV2 is the only way out of this.
I may be wrong but the detestable spam is not easily/readily readable?

2026-08-08 23:24:10 UTC

- reply

the option is there. problem is getting the hashers to understand and use it

2026-08-08 23:21:25 UTC

- reply

or find a way to orange pill the hashers that are working for pools, and get them to make their own bloody templates with datum or stratumv2
we spent so long orange pilling merchants and regular folks, but forget that the most important people that needs orangepilling are the hashers all along.

2026-08-08 23:13:08 UTC

I still see a potential way to salvage corechain in the future
One main problem contributing to mining centralisation is hashers are not miners.
Perhaps the most important people to orange pill right now are actually the fiat minded hashers mining for pools that extract 20-30% of their rewards for the predictability of consistent payouts.
If hashers are actual bitcoiners, running their own nodes, and creating their own templates, they would be more involved in discussions on bitcoin’s protocol debates.

If someone decides to rile up a mob with a retarded softfork, we would know, and a credible URSF will be proposed to counter it. So far for BIP 110, no such sentiment is present. No one would reject a fork to keep Bitcoin spam free.

Frauds: Saylor, Bailey, Armstrong, Andy, Corallo?
Ignorant: Mallers.
As humans it’s always so tempting to find people to idolise. It’s a cognitive expediency trait that can be abused. I guess it’s also because it’s easier to defer to someone else’s confidence/conviction than to develop our own framework of ideas to stand for..
If we don’t stand for anything, we’d fall for everything. Always be prepared to your heroes, metaphorically of course.

btw ancient humans used shells etc as money
its what allows our species to cooperate with other tribes of our species. the reason neandethals die out is because they never conceived of the idea of money, thereby they are unable to trade with other tribes, hence the only way to gain resources is by violence, rather than trade

2026-06-19 02:39:55 UTC

- reply

I think i see your point. I just think there will forever exist a need for a mechanism to be used to delegate who gets what and how much. Every person brings a different value to society in their own genius ways, and as long as humans are mortal and lifetime is finite, we would like to trade our time and energy for something in exchange. Perhaps when basic necessities like food become so abundant with the help of automation, it trends to free just like the air we breathe, there won’t be a need for money to get food, but there’ll be other things that are still scarce and are in demand. In that world a form of money would still be needed to facilitate that exchange.
The idea of property, and free market itself, is not even a made-up idea, it is the reality of what humans do/use when faced with limited resources, be it time or materials or energy. Things have to be owned, for it to be utilised. The very fact that we are debating ideas here, shows that you own your body and mind, and we own ours.
When Booth says we never had capitalism, it’s because money itself has always been corrupted. Lets call it the free market rather than capitalism. A free market is just humans trading. Money is one half of every trade. When there is an arbitrage to the cost of money creation that is backed by a threat of violence, one group is able to create more units of money for themselves, at the cost of diluting everyone else. This corrupted money creates a corrupted version of “free market”, if we could even call it that anymore, due to the very existence of a monopoly on money creation backed by violence. This creates a zero sum game, where certain people benefit at another’s cost.
In a hypothetical free market where money supply is fixed, therefore the only way to get money is by consensual trade, and because everyone only generally consents to a trade if it provides a nett gain in value for themselves, over time, every trade by every individual is beneficial to everyone participating in that monetary network

The type of money we use heavily influences the characteristics of institutions we construct to protect the way of life of a society. This actually goes back to a even more fundamental aspect of life. Property.
But before we get on, would you agree that no sufficiently advanced human society can emerge without the aid of some form of money?

2026-06-18 12:06:12 UTC

Okay, sure, maybe I can explain that concept to allow you to understand where I come from.
Society is built on human exchange. Favours. You do something for me, or give me something, I owe you something in return. Yes?
How do you scale society without money? You can only keep track of the favours of about a maximum of 150 people, Dunbar’s Number. Money is the tool that allows people to trade with strangers, hence allowing society to scale past 150 people. Do you know of other ways society can reliably scale without a form of money?

2026-06-18 11:08:59 UTC

- reply

Do you come to the conclusion that money is the foundational layer of society, and all the concepts and institutions we have and have existed all throughout history are influenced largely by the type of money we use? Because if you do, you would understand Jeff Booth’s thesis.

Just finished reading the Silent Weapons for a Quiet War document.
It’s fascinating @nprofile…4ld5 can succinctly summarise every possible thing that happens in our world under the context that we have always lived under a monetary system that was controlled.
If the document is real, we can see how many of the things happening right now could potentially be part of the plan as written in the document, however it is all based on the context of fiat money. Yet the writers make no assertion that the fiat system is the base assumption of their plans, that it could potentially be irrelevant if money is sound.
Started off this read being black-pilled, ended with a renewed sense of hope, thank god for bitcoin.
Run BIP-110.

As I said, when the internet first came about, there were many other companies trying to create intranets and market them as a service. The open decentralised one won.
When bitcoin first came about, there were many other companies trying to create their own protocols and market them as having a unique use case. Will the open decentralised secure protocol bounded by energy win? Or is this time different?

2025-11-25 14:58:35 UTC

- reply

Telephone communications could not be built upon, unlike the internet, and bitcoin.
Bitcoin performs the base layer function of storing and transferring value in a decentralised and secure manner perfectly, and that’s all it needs to do.
Privacy tech or faster transactions are already built on layer 2.
If theres any more technological innovations on money, it will be built upon the bitcoin stack.
If the innovation is not about money, it won’t compete with bitcoin.
Just like how any communications innovation, like Nostr, is built on top of the internet stack, instead of inventing a whole new protocol that competes with the internet.

2025-11-25 14:42:35 UTC

- reply

Another analogy that tries to lump Bitcoin with technologies instead of a protocol.
Base 10 math is a protocol, all the theorems and formulas emerge from that. Base 10 math does not get replaced.
The internet is a protocol. Websites and apps emerge from that. The internet does not get replaced
It is easy to confuse bitcoin as a technology to be replaced rather than a protocol to have other things built upon.

Ok so now your point is?
Look man I don’t have time to explain to you if you couldn’t get it. Protocols and technologies are fundamentally different. One’s winner take most, other is winner takes all. You either learn about it or don’t. Cheers and have a great week ahead.
