And shitcoins.

Excellent history, should be widely reposted.

OP_RETURN doesn't bloat the utxo set as much, so it's not doing god's work.

Or, I guess to say it less provacative, it's not doing god's work as effectively.

no no no.

It's the exact opposite of what you would think with all this pearl clutching.

the utxo set should be spammed as hard as possible as fast as possible for 2 key reasons -- secure hashrate by paying miners when demand for vanilla monetary transactions is low (less important) -- demonstrate that utxo bloat is in practice unavoidable and force bitcoin to adapt to it asap, rather than pretending that this issue is solvable (more important)

Luke-Jr's real goal isn't filters, or killing off op_return.

He is going to force core to accept utreexo into mainline when he ninja prunes it into next release of knots.

Luke is no fool. He is used to winnng.

And he's going to win again.

Bitcoin doesn't care about your politics.

This guy only cares about your politics.

It's a sort of weakly interesting take, because if democrats take back power in the midterms and/or the presidency in 2028, there will of course be a vibe shift of some kind.

But it's all noise.

Bitcoin is just a network protocol with some security budget and game theory attached.

You can like it, you can hate it. Bitcoin just does its thing and writes the next block.

This guy will come back to bitcoin when the democratic political machine decides it is ok, which could be in 2028 or 2032.

TLDR: meh.

true the zeks could tell themselves they had no choice, it was that or probably die in a gulag with someone more compliant taking their place

no such consolation working for FAANG, building the global surveillance and propaganda apparatus. so in a way it's an even more horrible fate.

yes?

The objection is that it doesn't solve any problems that bitcoin actually has.

Solving someone else's problems that wants to affinity scam using bitcoin, doesn't count.

Don't believe me? Put into words with short sentences and as few syllables as possibles, what problem CTV solves. Then go off and think about it for a minute.

We'll be waiting.

Merchants come to bitcoin when they actually need it. Most of them don't. That's ok.

There's really almost no reason to "onboard" anyone.

When they need it, they'll come in droves.

😂

touche lol

You know, I'm actually glad I unblocked you.

This was a good comment. Not saying I agree with you.

But interesting.

Yeah this is just going to keep happening again and again.

Until the merchant cards themselves are begging the well networked bitcoin / lightning service providers to connect, and lobbying congress to have it whitelisted.

Stay in your lane, know your lane, obey the traffic rules. Whatever ;)

He's not an actual troll I admit, but it's doomer drivel and he will never give up dude

neverrrrrrrr

Don't feed the trolls there ain't no gold in those mines

I blocked this mofo in the early ages before the titans rebelled and only rarely see him now when he is luring a fresh kill into his web, which is a pretty poor web indeed! A web of doomer drivel.

Where what we actually need is a web of trust 🤪

It's called an electricity meter.

we can definitely assess

read "other means principle" I think also from cryptoeconomics. erik voskuil.
