Well, that's a more nuanced, of course biased, post than I have read lately. Which reminded that no matter what side of the argument you are, much respect is needed. Seeing @nprofile…r085 track record I much respect his dedication to #bitcoin and Core in the past. Seeing how the "debate" has been evolving in the past weeks, mud throwing and down right making it personal, does not do any good to bitcoin at all. I'd argue that any one not capable of having a civilized discussion about this, only has their own agenda and does not whish any good on bitcoin. The argument is overheated and debate is too passionate and bitcoin is not worth losing your humanity over.

I agree that running a node already can have legal risks, although it is a gray area. That already is the case, as the blockchain already contains illegal content. I think it would be more fruitful if efforts are put in to create legal clarity in different jurisdictions. Also, what options are there to find out who out the content there in the first place.

2026-07-12 05:20:51 UTC

- reply

How will node runners decide? Does the software have to be updated? Does this mean a hard fork for every "cautious change"?
What is part of the resource growth can be actually attributed to spam? Sources?
If legal risks are an issue, pruning might be an option. Or may be only keeping the last block after the initial download and verification of the blockchain. May be there are more intelligent ways of clearing your node of unwanted data, instead of trying to determine what is spam or what is not.
This opens the door to censorship and is by definition an end to the permissionlessness of bitcoin.

How does one decide what is financial data? Who is going to make that decision?
Also, the average block size did not really pass the 2MB limit, so one can argue about the real impact ordinals have other then paying miners and keeping the network save.

> We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively outnumbers the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here. We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?

Love is being conscious of the relation between ourself and the external.
Fear is being conscious of the separation between ourself and the external.
Happiness comes from our ability to focus our consciousness on the relations with the external (aka love)

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.
$30 per seat per month.
$1.4 million annually.
I called it "digital transformation."
The board loved that phrase.
They approved it in eleven minutes.
No one asked what it would actually do.
Including me.
I told everyone it would "10x productivity."
That's not a real number.
But it sounds like one.
HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.
I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."
They stopped asking.
Three months later I checked the usage reports.
47 people had opened it.
12 had used it more than once.
One of them was me.
I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.
It took 45 seconds.
Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.
But I called it a "pilot success."
Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.
The CFO asked about ROI.
I showed him a graph.
The graph went up and to the right.
It measured "AI enablement."
I made that metric up.
He nodded approvingly.
We're "AI-enabled" now.
I don't know what that means.
But it's in our investor deck.
A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.
I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."
He asked what that meant.
I said "compliance."
He asked which compliance.
I said "all of them."
He looked skeptical.
I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."
He stopped asking questions.
Microsoft sent a case study team.
They wanted to feature us as a success story.
I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."
I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.
They didn't verify it.
They never do.
Now we're on Microsoft's website.
"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."
The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.
He got 3,000 likes.
He's never used Copilot.
None of the executives have.
We have an exemption.
"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."
I wrote that policy.
The licenses renew next month.
I'm requesting an expansion.
5,000 more seats.
We haven't used the first 4,000.
But this time we'll "drive adoption."
Adoption means mandatory training.
Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.
But completion will be tracked.
Completion is a metric.
Metrics go in dashboards.
Dashboards go in board presentations.
Board presentations get me promoted.
I'll be SVP by Q3.
I still don't know what Copilot does.
But I know what it's for.
It's for showing we're "investing in AI."
Investment means spending.
Spending means commitment.
Commitment means we're serious about the future.
The future is whatever I say it is.
As long as the graph goes up and to the right.
