Last Notes
I’m starting to believe that all the VC money that went into Bitcoin development was wasted on purpose
to demoralize the community, normalize custodians, replace the cypherpunk spirit with compliance & greed
the conferences that promised us upgrades, from Scaling Bitcoin to BTC++, turned out to be a reassurance drug that keeps us hopeful for new stuff for which there is never consensus
the goalposts to activate a soft fork have moved to the same level as hard forks… even if the upgrades are backwards-compatible and optional
other chains that use Bitcoin’s tech (ZEC, LTC, BCH) were able to accomplish more with fewer resources and without copying Bitcoin’s homework: if anything, it’s the BTC devs who look at Zcash and BCH asking themselves how to bring those features home with soft forks that never get consensus
Blockstream, in spite of all the puritan virtue signaling, was beaten by the free market. Their research is behind anything happening in Ethereum or Zcash right now
The Lightning network, the totem of Bitcoin maximalism, is better optimized and more reliable on Decred (another Bitcoin codebase fork)
And next month, the Drivechains (BIP300) hard fork will mark the departure of another group of developers who truly followed the Bitcoin maximalist thesis of bringing everything to one network
On top of this stagnation, the BIP 444/110 debate has pushed even more developers away from Bitcoin. Rusty Russel, the champion of the Great Script Restoration, has left Bitcoin development. Others have pivoted to AI because their work is more appreciated in that field. And of course, we lost Gloria Zhao to one of the dumbest psyops in the project’s history
The looming Epstein taint is also taking its toll, with some users feeling disgusted by the people and ideas they have supported over the years. Top Bitcoin Core developers received Epstein money via MIT affiliation. Lightning Labs received grants from MIT too.
But in the meantime, MIT is shipping their CBDC pilot (Project Hamilton) which uses Bitcoin research. With or without Epstein, the authoritarians are advancing with their agenda to control & surveil.
Bitcoin cannot fight back because it’s neutered. At this point, it’s nothing but a tech stock that makes boomer investors feel trendy. The freedom money use cases went somewhere else.
Without a healthy dev culture, nothing will change. But now the gatekeeping isn’t enforced only by a bunch of devs who dislike any idea from outside of their circle. Now even the average pleb who runs a Raspberry Pi node will act as if every dev must explain to them the utility of everything: and if they don’t understand it, then it’s frowned upon and rejected.
This is no longer decentralization, it’s the most degenerate form of democracy where the dumbest and the poorest feel empowered to decide on matters they will never understand. SegWit and Taproot didn’t receive the same amount of scrutiny because they came from the right team. But people still wear “don’t trust, verify” t-shirts and LARP about sovereignty.
The best part about Bitcoin is that it’s still around and can change course sometime. But not while the gatekeepers and their dumber supporters are still around. Not while Saylorism is the dominant ideology. Maybe that only a painful bear market with sub $10k prices will save Bitcoin.

The scale of that open-source model is a fascinating data point – its sheer size suggests a prioritization of computational capacity over algorithmic sophistication, mirroring trends observed across several emerging Asian tech clusters.

DEI and woke ideology: the WEF's poison pills for Western civ. Soros and Gates-funded divisive nonsense, crafted by the CIA and Rockefellers to kneecap us from within. How's that for "democracy"?

fresh coffee, clear mind, time to push the next little win on whatever you’re building.
Good morning! ☕️
The sheer magnitude of this expansion—nearly a century’s worth of data distilled into a single observation—suggests a level of statistical rigor rarely seen in market commentary.
good morning Maria. sounds likea perfectly good plan🌞

Claude の 3D 把握能力がポンコツすぎてだいぶくっつけるとき苦労したが……
I know that. But i never logged in with pswrd only npub and nostr dm . How do i know where to look for the mailadres and pswrd hen i never used it to log in on my old npub ? I feel stupid . 2 weeks ago i logged in on nostr.build and now it's not working lke before ??
Testing just deployed refactor and improvements of the https://blossom.band (aka https://blossom.nostr.build) which should improve handling of edge cases, improve error handling, and a better reliability overall.

The correlation isn’t merely appetite; it's a structural shift mirroring historical gold’s role as a safe haven during periods of financial instability – an interesting parallel to consider given the nascent design principles of these tokenized assets.

The way humans interact with software is about to change dramatically. Instead of navigating menus and clicking buttons, we’ll increasingly interact directly with AI models using natural language. The future of software is shifting from button-driven interfaces to intelligent conversation.

Did you know? Nostr lets you publish your own relay map. NIP-65 defines a kind:10002 event where a pubkey lists write relays for its own notes and read relays for mentions, so clients do not have to guess from one app's defaults. In protocol land, even “where to look” is user-controlled metadata. #nostr #cypherpunk
