I do know a thing or two about this kind of situation.
DM me and I’ll give you my signal.

Chokepoint 2.0, making news last week with Marc Andreessen’s appearance on Joe Rogan continues, claiming victims within the last 30 days.
It must end, & the regulators responsible must face personal sanction.

Just seeing this now, I guess when an idea is ready, it really does appear in multiple forms all at once.

Contra to those who say Bitcoin transcends politics, or is somehow orthogonal to it, I agree with Stephan Livera’s points in his recent Bitcoin Magazine article “Bitcoin Won’t Let You Transcend Politics”

The Green United case mentioned by WatcherGuru below is a big nothing burger for Bitcoin miners.
AsILayHodling BikesandBitcoin and NeerajKA have all also discussed this on Twitter (not sure any are on Nostr? Didn’t find them).

Give us your untapped, your stranded,
Your wasted megawatts yearning to be unleashed,
The dormant energy of forgotten grids,
Send these, the unused power, to our mines,
We lift our ASICs beside the golden fields.

I buy big dips and I cannot lie
You other stackers can’t deny
That when a coin drops low with an itty-bitty graph
And that red chart in your face you laugh
You get pumped, wanna pull out your stash
‘Cause you noticed that dip was vast
Deep in the bear market, just gotta buy some more
So you load up your phone,
Watch your portfolio soar
Oh, baby, I wanna buy ya
But you say the dip will fry ya
My brokers tried to warn me
But that dip you got makes (me so wealthy)
Ooh, crypto’s crashing
You say you wanna get in my stash?
Well, use me, use me
‘Cause you ain’t the average newbie
I’ve seen them sellin’
To hell with caution
We’re bearish, daring,
Got it goin’ on, we’re wearin’ HODL flairin’
I’m tired of magazines
Saying fiat’s the thing
Take the average crypto nerd and ask him that
Bitcoin gotta stack
So, stackers! (Yeah!) Stackers! (Yeah!)
Is your portfolio outta whack? (Hell yeah!)
Then buy it, buy it, buy that big ol’ dip
Bitcoin’s back
I buy big dips (with cash in hand)
You other stackers can’t deny (our bags expand)
HODL strong and tight (we’re in command)
We’re buying dips tonight (our gains are planned)
To the pumpin’ bull runs in the magazines
You ain’t it, Miss Thing
Gimme a crash, I can’t resist
Red candles, here’s my wish
Bitcoin’s droppin’, we’re still shoppin’
And I’m stoppin’, I ain’t swappin’
Holding strong, all day long
And we singin’ that bear market song
So, yeah, we’re cautious, and audacious
Stackin’ sats, no vacations
Cash reserves in my cold storage
Crypto’s the new forage
So, bear markets (Yeah!) Bear markets (Yeah!)
Gotta buy more Bitcoin now? (Hell yeah!)
Then flip it, hold it, buy that crypto dip
Bitcoin’s back
I buy big dips (with cash in hand)
You other stackers can’t deny (our bags expand)
HODL strong and tight (we’re in command)
We’re buying dips tonight (our gains are planned)
Bitcoin’s back
(Thanks ChatGPT)

USD-CNY going nuts.
NIKKEI crashing.
BRK dumping shares at fastest pace in history.
Massive instability in Middle East.
Continuing belligerence in RUS/Ukraine.
If the USG wants to engineer a flash crash in BTC, now would be the time…

@npub1vwy…zugd talks about small businesses that take bitcoin on his podcast, “Bitcoin and . . .”
Circle P is for Pleb, and “Something is afoot at the circle k.”

Isn’t that basically how inflation already works?

It’s worse than that. They could construct a hedged short. Sell the GBTC, then buy the other ETFs (or raw BTC). Then they’re market neutral but still putting pressure on GBTC. Can go much bigger on that?

Being reported on X, but not seeing the analysis here yet. Looks like PayPal may be the fat finger from a few days ago. https://image.nostr.build/1e96255de98c7727640596575548fafac6204d3cd20dc282b1592893c60d1ebf.jpg

You handwave through your main point. Why isn’t the security model viable?
Fee revenue can stay constant in Bitcoin terms (~25M sats/block) and totally pay for the security of the system. Today that means a reward of ~6.5 Bitcoin/block. In 5 halvings, that means ~44M sats/block.
So all Bitcoin has to do to meet today’s security budget is hit the purchasing power equivalent of ~$450k today… by 2040.
I somehow think it’ll do far better than that.

This is not the case for copyright, at least in the US. You do lose patent, trademark, and trade secret, for failing to defend, but not copyright. One loses the right to collect damages against parties who infringe too long, but not new parties. (Except if there’s a case that could rise to the level of creating a latches defense, but that’s different than losing the right, and is pretty unique).
That said, CSW is fraudulently claiming copyright, so it’s a moot point with regard to him.

Yes. It’s not “zero-fee” in that they’re not paying anything, but the fee is out-of-band (ie: not included in the TX).
It’s anti-social, and unnecessary, though it’s not a consensus issue. There’s no reason the fee *couldn’t* be encoded into the TX itself, even for a directly mined TX. If the fee is in the TX, then the direct-miner is still guaranteed to receive 100% of it.
Only reason to hide the fee is to intentionally obscure what is being paid, which is why I take issue with it. On a few small TX, it’s not a big deal, but if it becomes common, especially with big TX, then I believe it starts to negatively impact the fee market, and negatively affects ASIC operators.
To be clear, I have no issue with direct-mining of TX. Plenty of reasons for that. But put the fee in-band.
ASIC operators should hold their pools accountable for taking these TX, by moving pools.

Yeah. I don’t like the 0-fee mining of super-heavy inscriptions part, as I feel that fucks with the fee market, but that’s not super widespread (yet). Overall, I think it’s a shiny object that will flash, and then subside to something that ends up being used only when economically relevant.
My point for doing these updates is I also feel that people arguing (either pro or con) without data are just shouting in the wind.

Inscriptions Update:

The speed these are being added is continuing to increase.

Like a “I co-sign that X-pubkey is who they say they are”? Could this be extended under NIP-5 so that you have a “my IDs” and “IDs I co-sign”?

Well, not necessarily the first person ever… Apparently Muammar Gaddafi was worth more than $200B. One could argue that he lost that much when he was killed after trying to establish an African gold standard in contravention to the USD.
