Last Notes
There's no perfect translation that has been printed. Most of them are close enough, with a couple exceptions.
This person would snitch on you for wrongthink and have you sent to the ministry of love.
I think a lightning strike just killed my central air. 😬

There's a thunderstorm approaching.

"I am Jack's utter contempt."
They don't know what a shitcoin is anymore, because they don't know what Bitcoin is anymore.
Once upon a time they used to grant you unfettered access to their platform based on having pre-authorized a single dollar on your credit card, and when the card started declining they would send you polite emails but not shut your servers down... For about three months!
I'm the reason why they don't do that anymore. 🤣🖕
As long as people keep buying and trading that debt the government can keep selling more of it.
They chose the blue pill: Regulated riches over unpredictable freedom. They see themselves as the grown-ups in the room. They've been making their case against the cypherpunks for years. You have to compromise. You have to accept regulation. We need Wall Street adoption.
Most will follow them. I will not. I don't care about the price going up. I don't care about ETF inflows. I don't care about publicly traded mining companies. I don't care about corporate treasuries or nation-state reserves. I don't care about smart contracts or settlement layers.
I care about decentralized, permissionless, peer-to-peer electronic cash.
I took a 5-axis CNC class just for fun. I love anything that involves precision and exacting tolerances. There's no opinions or "good enough". It's either fucking right or it's trash.
Bitcoin is elitist. It's up to you if you want to be part of that elite. I say it's worth the effort.
You're stupid. This is why I should be dictator the world, not you.
Took me two days last time I synced a fresh one and it wasn't on a fast connection. Often the bottle neck is the CPU verifying everything as it comes in.
I woke up today with a sense of unease that something was wrong. That instinct was justified. Not sure yet how this will all play out.
Agree. Character attacks are a pointless diversion. The people engaging in them lack the mental capacity to consider the actual issues.
That's the debate though. Should Bitcoin users fight to preserve it as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, or should it be allowed to evolve into something more like ethereum? That's the entire bip-110 debate.
Not everyone has the same goal. The goal should be peer-to-peer electronic cash, but many accept any compromise that comes along which dilutes that purpose.

I'm on my own team. Fuck off with that we're all on this together bullshit. Bitcoin is adversarial by design.
I heard data centers are vanishing all of the drinking water.
When I lived in a little Eastern Washington farm town I had a roughly 110 year old black walnut tree that towered over my 2 story house and shaded it in the summer.
I think they like really wet ground like Aspen trees though. Can't just plant them anywhere.
Ground cooling trees are cool. I'd rather have explosive diarrhea than be super constipated so bad it blows my butthole out and gives me hemorrhoids. What else do you wanna talk about?
It's not.

That OpenSats money being put to good use I see...
A vacuum sealer is one of the best tools you can buy for your kitchen, hands down.

I've been lamenting for about six years now that for most bitcoiners today, fiat-denominated capital gains is their dominant priority, and they will accept any compromise in the furtherance of that goal.
My mirror would get bored. There's like 30 black T-shirts in my closet. If it's above 90 degrees outside I change it up and wear a white T-shirt.
I'm not afraid of a fork. Are you? The people telling me I need to compromise on my principles, and go along to get along for the sake of consensus are dead wrong.

The relay. The relay. The relay is on fire 🔥
I'm sensing a subtle vibe-shift here in the past few days.
This nation owes Senator McCarthy an apology. He was right all along.

If not food, then why food shaped?
Did you get your free reward??
Bitcoin has a learning curve and requires personal accountability for it's killer feature: financial sovereignty. It's not for everybody. In fact, it's not for most people. It's always going to be elitist. Don't waste energy trying to explain it to people who don't care.
Most people's idea of freedom is to be free from accountability.
Remember early on when a few ethereum people came and left? They moved on because they realized there was nothing to hype and nobody to scam. Back to Twitter.
@nprofile…mvl8 is a solid client

"If you hold your own keys then you're a bitcoiner."
**FALSE**
A private key is not part of the network. It's just a number. The network determines if it is valid or not.
A transaction is not part of the network. It's the data that the network relays and records.
The nodes are the network. A bitcoiner participates in the network by running a node.
They determine which rules are valid on their node.
They don't ask for permission to spend because they broadcast their spend through the network from their node.
Everyone else is asking a bitcoiner for permission to spend.
I don't give a shit about the normies. They're a lost cause. I'm talking about the people who claim to understand that Bitcoin is one of the most important inventions of the 21st century and yet they can't be troubled to fucking educate themselves about it and make an informed decision and be an active participant on the network. There will be people who save and spend Bitcoin but are not bitcoiners. A bitcoiner is part of the Bitcoin network. People who call themselves bitcoiners and don't participate in the network get no respect from me.
I have a very low opinion of bip-110 fence sitters. At least the people who speak against it are taking a stand, whatever their motivation may be.
But those who essentially say "whatever everyone else decides for me is fine." They give up their agency and lean whichever way the wind blows. The apathy and passivity is disgusting. Be a man. Decide.
A decent electric one costs more than a decent gas one, and a cheap shitty one of either isn't worth buying. Plus I would have to remember to charge the batteries. I'd rather pour some gas and go.
