Core defaults + pool templates + venue policies decide reality. Users matter only when they can coordinate economic liquidity, which is rare. Expect future changes to follow the same political playbook.&#xA;&#xA;In that post, I put &#34;ordinary user nodes&#34; last in the power stack.&#xA;&#xA;If BIP-110 had succeeded based on decentralization theater and misguided &#34;game theory&#34; circus, BIP-110 supporters would still be living a lie.&#xA;&#xA;Stop listening to boomer Bitcoiners who tell you that &#34;Bitcoin is decentralized and secure&#34; and do some of your own research.&#xA;&#xA;Bitcoin is not decentralized and secure, it was simply allowed to look that way ( https://controlplanecapital.com/p/is-bitcoin-decentralized-and-secure ).&#xA;&#xA;Until you realize that we live under something very close to a One World Government ( https://controlplanecapital.com/p/how-i-know-we-live-under-a-one-world ), your attempts at game theory are worse than useless.&#xA;&#xA;Most people are just too mentally weak to face our current reality and would rather live a lie.&#xA;&#xA;To understand why Bitcoin will fail as mass, non-custodial Medium-of-Exchange, read this article ( https://controlplanecapital.com/p/bitcoin-will-fail-as-mass-non-custodial ).&#xA;&#xA;And no, &#34;firing the miners&#34; will not be nearly enough.&#xA;&#xA;To understand why Bitcoin was most likely created by the government, read this article ( https://controlplanecapital.com/p/why-i-think-the-government-created ).&#xA;&#xA;If you are too heavily into Bitcoin and down bad on your position, I hope our jewish overlords give Saylor a $1 trillion loan at 0% interest so he can pump the BTC price.&#xA;&#xA;Then, more people will focus on what actually matters: &#xA;- your health, your community, your skills, your adaptability, tools, machinery, weapons, self-sufficiency, gold, silver, Monero (if you need digital cash), land that produces food, energy, local services, cattle, etc.&#xA;&#xA;Usually, as the governability of the holder base of an asset increases (more captured, more in the system), our fiat overlords are more incentivized to pump its fiat-denominated price.&#xA;&#xA;( This is of course an oversimplification. )&#xA;&#xA;If Bitcoin&#39;s fiat price pumps, most Bitcoiners will quickly forget that BTC is a captured asset, so you usually get fiat gains as a gift for being a good, little goy.&#xA;&#xA;In another post, I&#39;ll cover how I got lucky and sold 85% of my BTC at 113K and the remaining 15% at 95K. (Basically my opinion on why the Bitcoin cycle exists)&#xA;&#xA;I&#39;d only use Bitcoin for speculating (trying to mine fiat), and as of now, I&#39;m staying away because I don&#39;t think that the incoming Quantum scam is priced in ( https://controlplanecapital.com/p/a-quantum-resistance-upgrade-would ).</html></oembed>
