Glad to see BIP 110 crash and burn. BCH versus LukeCoin versus Ecash Fight to the death Who wins Pro tip: if your fearless leader for creating a stateless money system (@LukeDashjr) thinks Rosa Parks belonged in jail for disobeying the state and that disobeying the state is literally a sin that you can burn in eternal hellfire for....then you might of chosen a shitty leader.

Bitcoin is currently undervalued after a tough year of underperformance, with a still-healthy decentralized network, exhausted sellers, and most risks (like DAT overhangs and quantum threats) already priced in Suggests DCA into spot BTC or hedging via cheap options while long-term holders accumulate https://x.com/wclemente/status/2086144020850385321

This dude is dropping 10k on AI tokens to audit other peoples code for free. That's pretty cool. If you have any bitcoin related repos on github you want audited, send them to this guy. https://x.com/i/status/2084140242915782743

Toxic bitcoin maximalism has set the battle to get people to self custody back years. Toxic bitcoin maximalism has decimated the ranks of DCAers and hodlers who support the price during bear and bull. Toxic bitcoin maximalism has stifled innovation and held bitcoin back from achieving it's mission. Toxic bitcoin maximalists have rejected cypherpunk principles and gotten in bed with Wall Street and the government. Toxic #bitcoin maximalists have attacked countless people who dare to even discuss shitcoins for being "scammers" while simultaneously promoting #coldcard which scammed people into thinking they were highly secure.

not to be all "this is good for bitcoin" and I'm extremely sorry for anyone who was impacted by the ColdCard hack, but it does make me think about just how hard it is to secure Bitcoin wealth vs tradfi wealth in a world of increasing inequality, is this bad? shouldn't massive wealth be hard to hoard?

This Coldcard hack is making me thank God I would never buy a hardware wallet that doesn't support Monero. The holy hardware wallet of Bitcoin maxis turned out to be not so holy. They turned their nose up at "shitcoin" devices and it cost them everything. The hubris of some Bitcoin maxis didn't just create financial damage, it set back the cause of freedom. Permanent damage has been done to the self custody and freedom tech movement, because these maxis were more concerned with purity tests than security. This Coldcard hack hits just as the community is already dealing with the BIP110 drama and a bear market. I hope some good comes out of all this and the community becomes more open minded and less puritanical.

According to Dylan LeClair, "It should be said very clearly there is nothing wrong with white glove multisig solutions, collaborative custody, or *gasps* even ETFs." I disagree entirely. There actually is something wrong with ETFs. The west is no longer safe. Governments can and will seize funds for arbitrary reasons, western governments are rapidly becoming very authoritarian. ETFs and custodians might feel safe, but they are most definitely not safe. Any custody solution that involves using your real identity is not safe because of leaks and the criminals who take advantage of these leaks. There are risks and these risks are often withheld from new bitcoiners. I think some bitcoin maxis are more concerned with acquiring new converts for NGU than with being honest about the risks. Bitcoin is not easy, it is not fun, but do it right and it means freedom from slavery. https://x.com/i/status/2083624141656039893

"60% of Bitcoiners have a stake in an alternative cryptocoin, or 'altcoin', and many have a stronger emotional attachment to their more novel holding... There are over 100 cryptocoins right now, a veritable zoo which defies meaningful taxonomy" https://spacedruiddotcom.wordpress.com/2014/03/07/the-politics-of-bitcoin/
