I don’t think Donald Trump actually changed his mind on cryptocurrency much at all since three years ago… I think he just wants in on the scam.

I'm only in favour of upgrades that make bitcoin more valuable.

2024-04-11 17:48:07

- reply

Well this is part of the question.
That said, the protocol in this context is how computers "speak Bitcoin' with each other. This inciudes Bitcoin's consensus rules, most notably: what makes a Bitcoin block valid. But there are other important protocol rules as well, like how transactions are sent over the network.
Basic maintance I would define as making sure the software keeps running. So this can include bug fixes, making sure the code remains compatible with other programs, etc.
This stuff isn't always black-and-white though, and to me it remains rather unclear where Saylor actually wants to draw the line in this regard. (I'd say the general sentiment of the interview however pretty strongly suggests a "just don't touch it" attitude.)

Listened to Michael Saylor on the @npub1r8l…x5dk podcast. It's 3 months old, but sheds some light on the ARK funding story.
https://youtu.be/_QN0RcQFf6w
TL;DW: Saylor strongly believes in *OSSIFICATION NOW*. From that POV, protocol development is a liability.
Some quotes (and thoughts)👇
 "You only get to play God once. And Satoshi played God. And you can say 'well Satoshi got to do it, why can't I?' Well the answer is Satoshi did it, the reason we're talking about Satoshi is 'cause the other 100,000 would-be Satoshis failed. If you read the history of the world, work your way through 10,000 pages of Western history, there will be thousands and thousands and thousands of episodes of 'alpha male thinks he was put on this earth, you know, to change everything', full of hubris [...] he's gotta do more, change more, etcetera.'" (53:34)  "Bitcoin Core developers, or protocol developers, they want to fix something, or they want to make a contribution, because it's in their DNA, but developers are just the lawyers of cyberspace. When a lawyer shows up at the capital, they gotta make a law to save you from yourself, and the more laws they make, the more they cripple the economy, until eventually there's so many laws that the entire civilization collapses under its own weight." (58:06)  "The world is full of people that need something to do. I would say, the real key to wisdom, channel your energy constructively. If you're gonna do something, improve Lightning, build an application, persuade someone to adopt Bitcoin as a reserve asset, educate someone… these are all constructive things. Destructive, dilutive, distractive things are: fight with random people 'cause they want to fight with you, attack the core network and make it confusing and introduce anxiety, and confusion and fear, uncertainty and doubt into the base layer. Right? And then attempt to imprint your ego, you know, on the base protocol, you know? Like, 'I gotta introduce this so my name will go down in history forever'." (2:38:55)  My view: it's understandable to want Bitcoin to behave like the granite under Manhattan (his analogy); a solid bedrock that never changes. Especially if you truly believe Bitcoin will take over the world as SoV-only and "there is no second best". But IMO this is wishful thinking. While I agree it's near-impossible for an alt to overtake Bitcoin, I do think adoption could stall.
Luckily, Bitcoin isn't really a natural element. It's spontaneous order, more like language. Hard to change and no one can dictate changes, but if market wants it to change, it can.
 Furthermore, despite Stephan asking a few questions in that direction, Saylor mostly failed to distinguish between protocol upgrades and general software maintenance.
Arguing against any hard/soft forks is one thing, but Bitcoin Core 26.0 can obviously not last for centuries...
Having said that, Saylor is of course free to not upgrade anymore and stick to Bitcoin Core 26.0 for as long as he lives.

Last hour was more of the same. CSW denies he forged docs, said he'd have done a better job if he did. Called into question expertise/objectivity of digital forensics experts (including his own). Etc. etc.
This was my last day at the #COPAvWright trial for now; heading home.

2024-02-06 15:09:41

In block 3 of #COPAvWright (day 2), COPA asked Wright about documents that appeared to have been backdated.
Wright in response called into question the expertise and/or objectivity of the digital forensics expert that made these assessments.
One more block of CSW hearings today...

2024-02-06 14:09:23

In block 2 of #COPAvWright (day 2), COPA asked CSW about BlackNet, an anonymous marketplace for information, originally proposed by Tim May.
CSW worked on his own version, says he realized it did not have to be anonymous, but pseudonymous and traceable.
May's BlackNet was itself an anonymous version of Phil Salin's AMIX, however, so I'm not sure what the new insight would have been. Was CSW's version of BlackNet just AMIX again? I don't have the answer.
(I also wrote about AMIX and BlackNet in The Genesis Book.)
Wright's defense did make one good point just before lunch break. The atmosphere in the court room is intolerable: a lack of fresh air makes it hot and stuffy inside.

2024-02-06 12:17:56

First break.
Craig Wright claimed he's never forged a document to support his claim that he is Satoshi Nakamoto.
Says signs of forgery actually suggest he _didn't_ forge it. "If I forged the document, it would be perfect." Probably sets the tone for coming weeks.

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/legal/the-trial-that-could-end-craig-wrights-satoshi-claim-for-good-started-today

2024-02-05 17:19:48

Day 1 is over. The 4th and last block was all about documents that CSW admitted only very recently, and whether they should be admitted in court as evidence as it would cause delays. COPA described it as "pulling rabbits from hats", or rather "garbage from bins".
#COPAvWright

2024-02-05 16:15:16

Another break. Wright's lawyer has been presenting his case. He claimed Wright's vision and credentials match that of Satoshi, while several eye witnesses (Matonis and Andresen) also believe that. He also argued that it's plausible CSW would have destroyed evidence; was suicidal.
(Eye witnesses of a cryptographic signing process I mean, ofc.)

2024-02-05 13:02:15

Well I'm in the spillover room, where the video link just failed.
Mostly more of the same since the first brake though. COPA showed that CSW has been presenting fake evidence, anachronisms etc. over the past years.
#COPAvWright

2024-02-05 11:45:06

First break. The TLDR so far is that COPA showed CSW has been forging documents to support his Satoshi claim.
#COPAvWright

2024-02-05 09:52:40
