What planet is this where an announcement that BlackRock is moving in to fund Bitcoin development
AT THE SAME TIME THAT
Bitcoin Core is employing sly and foxy politics to move development towards what "network participants are doing" (spamming the chain)
Again, is this Saturn? The planet of long term hardships & lessons. Honestly I'm glad BIP110 is where it's at today. The immune system still works on the only chance we humans have to separate money from State.

2026-07-24 11:32:34 UTC

The thing that attracted me to Bitcoin was my bullshit detector. I followed the truth, which is found many different ways.
That same thing lead me to running Bitcoin Knots, and signalling BIP110.

Agree, the app feels slow bloated and unmaintained again. Not sure why this seems to happen to primal like clockwork, it makes using nostr frustrating for me. Primal is going to get demoted for me again soon.

The way Saylor COULD be an attack on Bitcoin is probably a cultural attack.
Start off by stacking Bitcoin in pub co to "hedge inflation" --> dominate news cycle, podcast circuit for years --> community lauds the strategy as novel --> distracted with NGU suitcoiner narratives --> bitcoins centralize, cultural values erode --> Bitcoin development reflects the general state of the user base, distracted/adrift from the roots of what makes Bitcoin sound
Maybe that line of thinking is off base, but I can see how something like that could definitely happen.

Can we trace the rise in spam on bitcoin blockchain with the prevalence of Grant funded developers?
Where I'm going with this is that people are earning money in a system that must be a free market. If you are working on something that wouldn't otherwise be profitable, chances are you could be doing more harm than good.
As someone who has benefited from grants myself, the work is mostly uneconomic in nature. Sure, it is good work and maybe fulfilling but I'm not sure it has a place in the free market.
