bitcoin maxis are all scammers. their whole culture has been poisonous for over 10 years and needs to be torn down. I am not sorry for anyone who listened to them and got scammed. reassess the current technology landscape. it's all built on a foundation of lies.

2026-08-01 16:00:30 UTC

covenant opcodes help make self custody safer, scale bitcoin, and unlock other valuable use cases. people have been advocating for them for years. they are held back entirely by shitty obstructionist maxi behavior and lying scam grifters.

2026-07-31 22:09:50 UTC

bitcoin maxis suck. they have been having way too shitty behavior for too long. they are arrogant and stupid.

wall street can send shills into the community to make stupid things happen and bikeshed any good ideas. then they can pump their pretend bitcoins to solidify the outcome. oh, and from now on they decide who keeps the BTC ticker. treasury companies and ETFs are an attack vector, not a trojan horse.
maybe they were inevitable and cannot be stopped in a free world. but it was extremely stupid to let them happen before scaling was truly ever solved. now it will never be solved. scaling will be done with trusted third parties. you were supposed to have this ready before they sink their teeth into it.

2026-07-27 02:57:44 UTC

BTC has so thoroughly abandoned its purpose that disinterested normies outside any crypto echo chamber openly talk about how much centralization it now has and how it's not even safe to buy drugs with it. you simply can't hide this failure from the public anymore. the narratives attached to it are a complete embarrassment. BTC is controlled opposition. bad people are constantly injecting it with stupid ideas and propping it up via wallstreet instrumentation. it is featured first in the public perception in order to mislead the public on what freedom money should look like, until stablecoins can take over.
bip110 isn't going to fix anything. under bip110 you still have the same trusted third parties doing the same stupid centralizing bullshit. before bip110, almost everyone uses bitcoin through a trusted third party with no room or opcodes for anything else, and after bip110 it will remain the same. bip110 only exists to distract people with utter nonsense so none of the actual problems get addressed. it was coded and astroturfed by complete spooks with FBI connections. they have no intention of actually activating it, just to distract and damage the community further.

yes it would be very funny and I have been saying this for a while. there is nothing in the $ECX vision that would break if they also did bip110 cusf. I still think it won't happen, because the bip110 loony bin is filled with people who still want to waste their whole lives on lightning.

stronger sidechain primitives... but the cultural rot cannot be fixed. people are deeply embedded in the community who benefit from the solution never getting implemented and if it does, they lose their business. the real bitcoin immune system is when you start sneering at anyone who develops lightning things and trusted third party things and other time wasters. these obstructionists are the problem.

2026-07-23 07:12:22 UTC

the number of people you have to call shitcoiners just keeps growing and growing. unlike the amount of money in the lightning network, or the amount of fee revenue being collected by bitcoin miners. the only thing you know how to increase anymore is the prevalence of trusted third parties.

I think you are married to hashrate escrows or perhaps the airdrop you'll be getting next month. I will also be collecting this airdrop... BCH has enough expressiveness already that they could build a two way peg, without doing hashrate escrows. BTC doesn't need hashrate escrows to get good sidechains, it can be done in other ways as well
if you stay married like this and keep talking about it this way, people will say sidechains are bad because of a perceived flaw in hashrate escrows

I find it so disturbing how people will spend so much energy on complaining about large OP_RETURNs or witness stuffing. and then the same people barely have anything to say about the proliferation of trusted third parties and the growing practice of scaling via custodians. bitcoin hasn't really solved scaling or the security budget problem, and these trusted third parties are not being treated like the conflict of interest that they really are. the knotzis are not even gimping taproot enough to stop people from using it to do centralized emulated covenants. that's how spark works, guys. they're not doing anything about this stuff and they don't care at all. they're not gonna lift a finger when everyone gets raped to death by regulated wallet companies.
