My understanding is you can have them unloaded but ammo and where you can use them is EXTREMELY restricted, e.g. you can’t concealed carry and in practice they aren’t realistically usable for self defense.

Only sticking to technical facts, But in that scenario the chain will 100% split with the 110 chain rejecting blocks that contain say an Op IF, etc. How would you respond if you’ve split off on a chain with say <5% of the current bitcoin hash? If you are rejecting the heaviest weight chain(the common definition for bitcoin) for a split chain with a comparatively tiny hash without replay protection, why aren’t you worried you’d lose funds? Without replay protection you can accidentally losing money unless you’re very careful about how a transaction is constructed and which chain(s) will accept it.
<5% would also currently be VERY generous as zero blocks have signaled support, e.g. all 110 supporters combined haven’t even mustered enough has power to produce a single block. Assuming support remains locked where it is today the 110 chain cannot produce blocks.

Turns out calling everyone a lying pedo for a year is a uniquely terrible way to build consensus. May have something to do with why ZERO blocks have signaled BIP 110 support. Even Ocean’s miners won’t signal support … let that sink in.

A cautionary tale for us all: BTC moves so fast and changes so much that if you aren’t constantly trying new stuff and updating your mental models, then even if you have many years of experience in BTC you can be grossly inaccurate in your assessment of where it is today and how people are using it.

Buying good with lightning feels like a look into the future. Set Bitcoin aside, this is just a better experience than the broken legacy internet: type email address, scan QR code, click pay, done. Contrast with legacy online shopping where I have to fill out two pages of bullshit and fill out all this credit card data and if I try to use any even mildly privacy preserving options then half the time my order is flagged and canceled and it takes weeks to get a refund.
It’s taken a long time to get here, but I’m convinced we eventually win via better UX as the legacy internet just keeps breaking.

2025-05-17 17:21:04 UTC

GM! I’m happy to pay in BTC and support BTC only companies. But static pricing in sats is not workable at this stage of adoption. For now we need dynamic pricing based on USD converted into sats. Almost everyone is still earning in USD and even when everyone gets paid in BTC, the amount of sats will likely decline over time. Expecting me to pay 40%+ more than a few months back when the good or service is essentially unchanged is a poor value proposition.

Strike loans are not available in my area of the USA, and even if they were higher rates and lack of proof of reserves are deal breakers.
As an alternate I have taken out a small 6 month loan via Lava.xyz (minimum loan size as low as a $1k) at 8% plus a 2% origination fee. Will report back on overall experience, but the origination took < 5 minutes and was super easy. So far so good.
