Absolutely amazing steel sculptures live from workshop..Armenian living in Poland. @nprofile…ah94 is the artist to follow on NOSTR.
His sculpture Europa made it as TOOL album cover for Undertow 30th anniversary. #dailyproofofwork is his hashtag.

I have different opinion.
Bits replacing Sats is one.
BIP177 support is two.
Seedless wallet is three.
Too many things all at once.
My trust in his actions is shuttered and I simply see this as attack on bitcoin.
His t-shirt doesn't change my point of view.

Yeah last time I checked he supported BIP177 which turns 21 Million bitcoin to 2.1 quadrillion. Fuck mass adoption if this is what it takes. You do you and I do me. Satoshis are the soul of bitcoin and switching to Bits without public discussions of any sort is straight up sabotaging Bitcoin ethos, history and also a living organism like Nostr...or we also switching to BITS?

When people get their introduction to Bitcoin via NOSTR and they connect to Bitcoin protocol using @nprofile…xpnv wallet for simplicity, then the first thing they learn about bitcoin is how amazing and useful Satoshis are. I introduced few people to bitcoin via NOSTR and Sats.
It is where true magic is.

Funny how we just celebrated Pizza Day—an event rooted in sats and Bitcoin’s early lore, yet some are working overtime to erase the very language that gives it meaning.
Sats are part of the mythos. Laszlo’s 10,000 BTC story only resonates because we speak in sats.
Killing sats doesn’t make Bitcoin easier - it strips it of memory, culture, and value context.
If you want to control something, you start by rewriting the story. That’s what this is.

FORKING ≠ DECENTRALIZATION.
Bitcoin Core has hundreds of contributors, public review, and global adoption.
Knots is maintained by one person with custom filters, calling that “more decentralized” just because it’s different is misleading.
Decentralization means many users freely choosing between well-reviewed, consensus-respecting software -not one person pushing personal changes without broad support.
Core is dominant because it’s trusted, not because it’s forced.
That’s decentralization in action.

I’ve been a freedom fighter all my life.
Through art, I’ve tried to ignite something - encouraging people to stand up, to think critically, to verify everything and trust no authority blindly. I’ve never been here for followers or fame. I’ve been here to spark change.
Over the years, I’ve reached big audiences. But what truly lasts is not the masses - it’s the few. The rare individuals who really get it, who carry the torch forward.
That same spirit - the search for truth, for sovereignty, for tools that break us free from fiat control - led me to Bitcoin.
And now, I’ve got nothing to lose. No backup plan. No safety net. Just conviction. When I say I’ll die on this hill, I mean it.
This isn’t a game for influencers with brand deals and exit strategies. This is war. A war for narrative. A war for truth. A war against a collapsing system that will not go quietly - and will do everything it can to hijack Bitcoin’s power for itself.
They don’t want to destroy it. They want to tame it. Repackage it. Control it.
But I’m not here for that version of Bitcoin.
I’m here for the myth, the legend, the untouchable idea born from the minds of cypherpunks and made real by someone we can never cancel - Satoshi Nakamoto.
Bitcoin isn’t supposed to be for everyone. Because when it becomes for everyone - without education, without effort - it loses the very things that make it matter. It becomes just another currency.
That’s not the Bitcoin I fight for.
So I study. I learn. I stay sharp. Because ignorance isn’t a badge of honor. Especially not here.
If you still believe in truth, sovereignty, and the fight for something bigger than yourself - welcome. We need you.
Everyone else? They’ll try to control what they can never understand.

It’s not the same. Bitcoin Core changes go through a rigorous review process, peer discussion, and community consensus. Bitcoin Knots is a fork—a personal project. Changes there don’t pass through Core’s checks. One dev forking and tweaking is not the same as 200+ devs maintaining the protocol that runs the majority of the network. Let’s not confuse modification with contribution to consensus.

BITS = SATOSHIS
Bits.
That’s the new name for sats - rolled out quietly, but intentionally, during the largest Bitcoin conference of the year in Las Vegas. With corporations circling and political figures like Trump stepping onstage, we’re now seeing the slow rebranding of Bitcoin’s most fundamental unit.
No real community discussion.
No transparent rationale.
Just a switch - from “sats” (Satoshis) to “bits.”
As someone who studies this space daily and speaks from the perspective of an artist - I see this as more than a cosmetic tweak. This is a symbolic shift. A move away from Bitcoin’s roots. A subtle erasure of Satoshi Nakamoto from the language we use every day.
Sats were never just a unit of measure. They were a tribute. A memetic anchor tying Bitcoin to its origin and ethos. You don’t rename that lightly. You don’t discard it in the name of “clarity” or “adoption” without telling the community why.
“Bits” might sound cleaner. It might fit better on an app screen. But it comes at a cost: cultural continuity. Historical weight. Identity.
This is happening at a moment when Bitcoin is under more pressure than ever to conform - to be repackaged for mass markets, for regulators, for billionaires. And now even its smallest piece is being reshaped.
This isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about respect. For the people who carried Bitcoin through the early years. For the vision behind it. For the name that still matters.
And most of all - for the ethos of Bitcoin.
Sats are named after the inventor who disappeared so the network could live freely. That absence is the foundation of Bitcoin’s independence. It’s what makes it different. Their systems have money, but no mystery. Power, but no principle. Control, but no character.
Bitcoin has a legend.
And no matter how many interfaces get rewritten, or tickers rebranded, Satoshi Nakamoto should be honored forever - through the name of the smallest unit that makes this entire movement possible.
We should be asking:
Why now?
Why this?
And who benefits from rewriting the words we built this protocol around?
Because if sats can be rebranded overnight… what’s next?

NOSTR loves sats.
I was convinced @nprofile…l90s Dorsey was one of its biggest supporters - and yet here we are, watching the start of a “rebrand Bitcoin” campaign.
First it was BIP-177.
Then “bits” instead of sats.
Then seedless wallets.
Now Square terminals showing bitcoin payments in bits - with fiat as the default reference point.
Yes - many wallets show fiat. That’s not new.
But stack all these moves together, and you start to see a pattern.
It’s not just UX - it’s narrative soft-forking.
Bitcoin is being reshaped for easier fiat onboarding, not deeper user sovereignty.
And I thought NOSTR and Bitcoin were building the future -
Not adapting to the past.
Dorsey and Carvalho are moving in lockstep - and I call bullshit.
Both claim the current state of Bitcoin is “confusing” without offering a shred of proof.
No surveys. No community polls. Nothing.
Just vibes, authority - and an organized attempt to fracture an already fragile Bitcoin community.
And they’re doing it at the most critical moment.
As Bitcoin crosses 100k.
As states begin adopting it.
As businesses start plugging in.
This is when we need unity - around the ethos, not the branding.
Because if we don’t hold the line now, the cypherpunk dream will be co-opted by the same corporate forces Bitcoin was meant to replace.
Jack plays the empire.
Carvalho plays the mouthpiece.
And we’re watching them rewrite the narrative in real time.

Gaza has been turned into a concentration camp -
no, a death camp - in full view of the world.
A place where Palestinians are not simply imprisoned,
but slowly starved, bombed, and broken.
This is not a war.
You do not fight wars with F-16s against families with spoons and empty stomachs.
This is one of the most asymmetric acts of violence in modern history -
a state armed with nuclear weapons
unleashed against a besieged, starving civilian population.
The Palestinian people have been completely dehumanized.
Their lives reduced to numbers.
Their deaths normalized.
This image shows the new aid distribution system:
metal cages crammed with civilians -
men, women, and children - herded like cattle.
This is not relief.
This is ritualized degradation.
This is cruelty with logistics.
Every tenet of international law has been desecrated.
Every principle of human dignity has been violated.
This is not war.
This is extermination.
And silence is complicity.

Treat yourself good every now and then - not as a reward for surviving the grind, but as a quiet act of resistance.
This world runs on depletion. Productivity is praised, exhaustion is normalized, and rest is rationed like contraband. In that system, even small acts of self-kindness become subversive.
To treat yourself is not indulgence - it is a reclaiming of time, of dignity, of presence.
A walk with no destination. A meal made with care. An hour offline. A moment of silence not filled with noise or purpose. These are not escapes. They are reminders: you are not a machine.
You are a being with tides and textures, needs and nuance. You are allowed joy. You are allowed softness. You are allowed to be whole.
So yes—treat yourself. Not just when you’ve earned it, but because you exist. Because to care for yourself, even briefly, is to whisper into the void: I am still human.

At least you admitted one thing —
this is about conquest.
About taking land.
About erasing a nation and replacing it.
This has never been about hostages. Never about Hamas.
It’s about theft. Invasion. Occupation.
That’s the truth — and you just said it out loud.
But no — we don’t accept genocide just because war has existed since the beginning of time.
That logic is dead inside.
History isn’t an excuse for brutality — it’s a warning.
And right now, you’re cheering for the wrong side of it.
And no — standing against this doesn’t mean “joining Hamas.”
That’s lazy, cowardly deflection.
It means using your voice to name what’s happening:
An attempted erasure of a people.
You don’t need a gun to stand with the oppressed.
You just need a conscience.
But if even that feels too dangerous, maybe ask yourself —
what side of history are you actually on?

2025-05-24 16:58:59

- reply

No — surrendering to genocide isn’t survival, it’s submission to a world ruled by brute force. If we accept “leave or die” as normal, then nothing belongs to anyone — only to whoever bombs hardest.
Palestinians have every right to defend their homes, land, and dignity.
Israel is not defending — it’s invading.
It was built on terrorism, not peace. From the Nakba in 1948 to now — theft, not justice.
You wouldn’t leave your home if someone came with a gun and claimed it.
Neither should they.
This isn’t about ego.
It’s about humanity.

2025-05-24 16:42:14

- reply

So you’re telling me that when a family is bombed in their home, the solution is to leave?
When a people, rooted in their land for generations, are slaughtered — the answer is relocation?
You call that peace — but it’s surrender.
You call that humanity — but it’s erasure.
What you’re really saying is:
Don’t resist the bully. Don’t protect your roots. Just disappear quietly.
That’s exactly what’s wrong with this world.
Because this logic doesn’t stop at Gaza.
It spreads — to Sudan, to Ukraine, to anywhere the next empire points and says, “This is ours.”
And what then? Tell them all to pack up like it’s a job application?
This isn’t about geography.
It’s about dignity.
No one should be forced to flee under drones and missiles to make room for invaders rewriting history with blood.
Gaza isn’t some abandoned zone waiting for “better tenants.”
It’s home. It’s memory. It’s blood, and birth, and breath.
And the people of Gaza are not disposable.
Most Israelis came from elsewhere — Eastern Europe, America, Russia.
They renamed themselves.
They renamed the land.
And now they erase the people.
Don’t talk to me about relocation.
Talk to me about justice.
Talk to me about ending genocide.
Talk to me about stopping the lie — that this is anything but ethnic cleansing dressed up in fake history and false morality.
And here’s the biggest lie of all —
That war ends when Palestinians leave Gaza.
No.
Globally — that’s not how war ends.
War ends when we stop the bullies.
When we dismantle the tyrants.
When we take power back from the empires that burn babies alive and call it “defense.”
War doesn’t end when the oppressed escape.
It ends when the oppressor is stopped.
This system teaches compliance.
To be polite.
To think that leaving = peace.
But peace without justice is just silence under occupation.
War ends when humanity says no.
No to every massacre.
No to every land grab.
No to every regime that treats human lives like targets on a map.
That’s when war ends.
Not before.

I saw the image. I read the names.
Nine children. Dr. Alaa al-Najjar’s children. Killed while she was on duty, trying to save lives.
She received them in body bags. Torn apart. That’s the world we live in now.
And I can’t stay silent.
I won’t act like this isn’t happening.
Because it is happening. Right now. In real time.
A genocide of children - broadcasted 24/7. And the world scrolls past.
This isn’t just violence. It’s the destruction of harmony. A shattering of what it means to be human.
And it’s getting harder to hold on. To create. To believe.
But I’m still here. I still care. I still feel this.
And I need to say that. I need to put it down somewhere permanent.
That’s why I’m writing this here. On Nostr.
Because one day, everything else might be gone, deleted, censored, buried.
But this… this will stay. On the chain. On the record.
This is my proof that I didn’t turn away. That I witnessed. That I grieved. That I resisted.
And that’s why I believe Bitcoin and Nostr matter.
Not just for freedom. Not just for sovereignty.
But for memory.
We need permanence.
We need a way to remember.
Because if we don’t, the children will be erased twice - once from the world, and once from history.
I refuse to let that happen.
This is my timestamp.
This is my heartbeat, on-chain.

I’ll be honest—I don’t understand why you’d want to experiment with something you already admit will be confusing. At a time when the window for everyday people to access Bitcoin is rapidly closing, the last thing we need is more confusion.
And as for whether it’s engineered or not—I’ve been on social media long enough to recognize how viral agendas are seeded and amplified. Before Jack Dorsey picked this up, it was just another fringe idea from John Carvalho. Now it’s suddenly everywhere. That’s not organic. That’s coordinated momentum.
It’s distraction. And it comes at the worst possible time.
Let's leave it at that.

I get your stance, and I respect it. But this isn’t just about a scarcity meme—it’s about the signal we, as a community, send. Wallet developers take cues from culture. If we stand firm—“if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”—this won’t gain traction. But if voices like Jack Dorsey and others with massive followings normalize this shift, devs will start experimenting.
Then we’ll end up with fractured UX—wallets showing different numbers, people unsure how much bitcoin they actually hold, confusion rippling through new users and media. That’s not a UI improvement. That’s chaos.
And what’s most alarming is that this doesn’t feel organic—it feels like an organized psyop. We’ve all seen how topics are engineered to go viral. This isn’t a joke or a harmless debate. It’s coordinated. It’s serious. And it’s dangerous.
One of the loudest voices pushing this has over 6 million followers on X, and owns a company building Bitcoin wallets/ Bitkey/—hardware, mobile, and recovery tools. So yes—he can push this into production. And if we stay silent, others will follow.
We stop it now—or we sort through the confusion later. At scale.

That’s fine—but just to be clear:
BIP-177 redefines the unit and inflates the perceived supply of Bitcoin from 21 million to 2.1 quadrillion.
That’s more than every memecoin, shitcoin, and altcoin in existence.
Whatever the intention, the result is clear:
It shatters the scarcity meme, breaks the price psychology, and turns Bitcoin—on paper—into dust.
Disagree if you must, but please be honest about what this proposal actually does.

I don’t think this is being overblown at all. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—this is an attack on Bitcoin, and a serious one. It’s not about UI, decimals, or helping users. It’s about fundamentally altering the way Bitcoin is perceived—psychologically, economically, and memetically.
If we rename satoshis as “bitcoin,” we’re not simplifying—we’re redefining. We go from 21 million bitcoin to 2.1 quadrillion. And suddenly the price goes from $105,000 to $0.00105.
Now imagine explaining that to the world. Imagine trying to sell the idea of digital scarcity and hard money, while Bitcoin appears to have a higher supply than most memecoins. That’s not just confusion—it’s narrative collapse.
And the irony? Many of the loudest voices pushing this change claim to be maximalists. They fight memecoins by turning Bitcoin into one—on paper. A cheap, inflated, ultra-high-supply token indistinguishable from what we’ve spent years trying to distance ourselves from.
You say it’ll be a nothingburger in a week.
I say it will permanently fracture the mental model of the greatest monetary meme ever created.
21 million is not cosmetic. It’s the core.
You don’t throw that away just to sell the illusion that Bitcoin is still cheap.
This isn’t just bad economics.
It’s psyop-level narrative warfare.

What we’re witnessing in Bitcoin right now feels like the beginning of the gold rush.
People can sense what’s coming—the rising inavailability, the climb to $1 million and beyond—and with it comes the chaos.
Greed is waking up. Influence is being weaponized.
And many of Bitcoin’s so-called heroes will betray it.
We’re entering a phase where psyops wear orange.
Where manipulation masquerades as UX.
Where core memes are attacked in subtle, calculated ways to control the narrative—and ultimately, to control more Bitcoin.
This is why “Don’t trust, verify” must be more than a slogan.
It should be burned into everyone’s mindset right now.
We don’t need to waste time debating whether to rename satoshis or censor ordinals.
We need to run nodes, protect consensus, and teach self-custody.
These are the real front lines—not the drama you’re fed on X or Nostr.
The protocol is strong. The memes are stronger.
But only if we defend them.

You didn’t buy 1 bitcoin for $0.00104.
You bought 1 satoshi.
Let’s stop pretending this is clever.
It’s not early. It’s not educational.
It’s an attack.
Calling satoshis “bitcoin” isn’t a UX improvement—it’s memetic sabotage. It inflates the perceived supply from 21 million to 2.1 quadrillion. It slashes the unit price from $105,000 to a fraction of a cent. And it shatters the psychological foundation of Bitcoin’s value in the minds of billions.
This is devaluation in the memetic sphere, and if it’s pushed through, it won’t just cause confusion—it will destroy Bitcoin’s identity forever. The perception of scarcity, value, and signal will be gone. Everything that’s been built over the last 15 years—every meme, every mental model, every cultural milestone—will be wiped out in favor of short-term optics and retail gimmicks.
This is not progress.
It’s a hostile rewrite.
And it must be called what it is:
A coordinated attack on Bitcoin’s core truth.

Gigi, I’d love to hear your deeper thoughts on what’s happening right now with this push to redefine Bitcoin’s unit—specifically the idea of renaming satoshis as bitcoins and effectively turning 21 million bitcoin into 2.1 quadrillion.
This isn’t just some harmless UI preference—it feels like a deliberate attempt to reshape the language, distort the memes, and destroy the psychological clarity Bitcoin has spent 15 years building.
You’ve written beautifully about the memetic power of Bitcoin before—especially in 21 Lessons. That power comes from the fixed supply, the story, the simplicity. This proposal undermines all of that.
It feels like propaganda. Like a strategic effort to engineer confusion, reset price psychology, and reframe Bitcoin for commercial or institutional convenience. And the consequences could be massive.
If the world wakes up tomorrow and sees that Bitcoin is no longer $105,000—but $0.00105, we’re not “simplifying”—we’re sabotaging.
Would you consider writing a longer piece on this? I think the community needs it now more than ever.

2025-05-18 15:37:19

Now @nprofile…0t75 is pushing BIP-177 to change satoshis to bitcoin.
Are these people crazy?!
Turning 21 million bitcoin into 2.1 quadrillion “bitcoins” isn’t just bad branding—it completely nukes the most important meme in Bitcoin’s history.
This isn’t just a bad idea.
It’s a recipe for confusion, dilution, and long-term cultural fragmentation.
We’ve spent 15 years building absolute clarity around one of the strongest memes in monetary history:
21 million Bitcoin. 100 million satoshis each.
Simple. Elegant. Untouchable.
And now, right on the edge of global adoption—now—they want to rewrite the script?
This doesn’t feel like UX optimization.
It feels like a narrative hijack.
A subtle takeover—not of the protocol, but of how people think about Bitcoin.
And that’s just as powerful.
Maybe I’m paranoid.
But changing the unit, the name, and the supply right before mass onboarding doesn’t just feel tone-deaf—it feels strategic.
Like rewriting the map while millions are just beginning to find their way.
I’ve never heard anything more short-sighted, more dangerous, or more fundamentally disconnected from what makes Bitcoin work.
It’s not a UI bug.
It’s a memetic monument.
You don’t demolish it for clicks, smooth UX, or vanity campaigns.
You protect it—because mass adoption is coming.
And what people adopt must be the truth, not a convenient lie wrapped in “accessibility.”

People say parabolic growth isn’t new. That we’ve seen it before.
And yeah—that’s true. Tulips. Dotcoms. Tech stocks. We’ve had bubbles, booms, and breakouts.
But Bitcoin isn’t just another asset riding a hype curve.
It’s not just a clever form of digital scarcity.
It’s a domain shift.
Most assets grow within a system. Bitcoin is changing the system itself.
It redefines property rights in cyberspace.
Turns energy into trust.
Removes the need for centralized enforcement.
Establishes a truth anyone can verify—but no one can rewrite.
Gold didn’t do that. Stocks didn’t do that.
Even the internet didn’t do that—it carried information, not value.
Bitcoin is the internet of value.
It’s not a website. It’s not an app. It’s not a company.
It’s a decentralized protocol that encodes sovereignty into code.
So if you’re only looking at Bitcoin through the lens of price, or even software, you’re missing the forest.
Zoom out.
You’re witnessing the first true native money of the digital realm.
A multi-century shift from meatspace value systems to cyber-resident value networks.
Unfolding in our lifetime.
And that’s why I’m here—not just as a spectator, but as a defender of the principles.
Not to tell Bitcoin what it should be.
But to learn what it already is—and protect it as it continues to unfold.

The second phase of the Block Size War is here.
Only now, it’s psychological.
This time, it’s not about how big blocks should be.
It’s about who controls the narrative, who defines the unit, and who gets to reshape what Bitcoin even is.
The battlefield isn’t GitHub—it’s social media.
The tools aren’t forks and clients—they’re memes, polls, influencer posts, and UX pitches wrapped in “community feedback.”
In the age of virality, everyone’s a brand.
Everyone wants to be early, loud, and right.
And no one wants to be accused of being in a “cult”—
So they overcorrect.
They rush to criticize, to reframe, to prove they’re neutral by destabilizing the very thing they once believed in.
It’s subtle.
It’s social-engineered.
And it’s incredibly effective.
Because the most dangerous attacks on Bitcoin don’t come from enemies.
They come from inside the culture, disguised as improvements.
They chip away at clarity.
They inflate the unit.
They rewrite the memes that hold the ledger together.
But here’s the thing:
Bitcoin survives bad code.
It survives political pressure.
It even survives stupidity.
What it can’t survive is apathy from those who know better.
This isn’t about being a purist.
It’s about protecting the structure that protects us.
21 million.
100 million sats per coin.
No matter what psyops come next.
Bitcoin doesn’t need rebranding.
It needs guardians who don’t flinch.
Because in the end, it’s not the noise that wins.
It’s those who verify.
And hold the line.

You mean 8 billion, not 8 million.
And many of them don’t think sats are worthless—they simply haven’t had time to learn what sats are.
Because we’re just now entering the era of real Bitcoin usage.
For years, Bitcoin was mostly held, not spent.
Now? People are paying for burgers with Lightning.
Bitcoin is finally being used at the speed of life.
That’s a monumental shift.
But like any new money, it takes time to adjust.
When you travel to a new country, what’s the first thing you ask?
“How is this currency structured?”
“Oh, 1 euro = 100 cents. Got it.”
Same thing here:
1 Bitcoin = 100,000,000 sats.
You own 0.5 BTC? That’s 50 million sats.
Spend them freely. Price things accordingly.
That’s not fiat thinking—that’s basic math, applied with clarity.
It actually respects Bitcoin’s scarcity and divisibility without diluting its meme.
Sats don’t need to be erased or renamed.
They need to be understood, used, and respected.
It’s not the sats that confuse people.
It’s the people trying to rebrand Bitcoin mid-cycle because they’re uncomfortable being late.
The solution isn’t to move the decimal point or rename the units.
It’s to educate, wait, and let people adjust—just like every currency before it.
If it costs under 1 BTC, show the price in sats.
Simple. Honest. Future-proof.
And yes—sats are not an altcoin.
They are Bitcoin.
Just closer to the ground where the people live.
🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧⬛️🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧
Personally, I started to respect sats when I joined Nostr.
Suddenly my notes—or my art—were zapped by strangers with sats.
Sometimes 50. Sometimes 5.
And it meant something.
It gave me joy.
It taught me that sats are not just decimals—they’re signals of appreciation, participation, and value exchange.
When you start experiencing sats, your perspective shifts.
You stop thinking in fiat fragments and start feeling Bitcoin.
And that’s when it clicks:
This is how money was always meant to work.

Bitcoin Crossed $100K—Now the Narrative Games Begin
Bitcoin didn’t change—your relationship to it did.
Now you either accept the truth… or try to rewrite it.
Let’s be honest about what’s really happening right now.
Bitcoin broke $100,000—and something shifted.
Not in the protocol.
In the psyche.
People who dismissed it at $20k, laughed at it at $40k, or ignored it at $60k—
Now feel permanently priced out.
A full coin has become mythical.
Out of reach.
Untouchable.
And instead of accepting that, instead of stacking sats with humility,
they propose this:
Let’s rename the units. Let’s call sats “Bitcoin.”
Let’s pretend there are 2.1 quadrillion Bitcoin.
But here’s the thing—
None of them were saying this when Bitcoin was $30k.
Or $50k.
This isn’t about user experience.
It’s about unit envy dressed up as design thinking.
If they were honest, they’d just say it:
“Bitcoin got too expensive. We’re late.
So let’s change the narrative to make ourselves feel early again.”
But they won’t say that.
Because they don’t want Bitcoin to humble them.
They want to reshape Bitcoin to protect their ego.
Bitcoin doesn’t bend.
It doesn’t get rewritten because you missed the bus.
It rewards discipline—not revisionism.
Sats exist for a reason.
They allow anyone to accumulate Bitcoin—without deluding the message.
You don’t get to rename the ledger because you’re uncomfortable.
You get to stack. Or you get to cope.
That’s Bitcoin.
And that’s the truth they’re running from.

You don’t need 2.1 quadrillion “Bitcoins” to share value with the world.
We already solved that: each of the 21 million Bitcoins is divisible into 100 million sats.
That’s 2.1 quadrillion units—the exact same quantity you’re imagining—but with the clarity of a finite cap and a clean monetary philosophy.
The point of Bitcoin isn’t to feel abundant.
It’s to be scarce, honest, incorruptible.
Sats give everyone access to that truth without needing to blur the story.
You don’t have to own a full Bitcoin.
Owning sats is how you begin to understand value—piece by piece, block by block.
That’s the discipline. That’s the beauty.
And yes, Rothbard said it well:
A sound money doesn’t need to be large in number—it needs to be divisible.
Bitcoin is already divisible enough to serve 8 billion people and more.
No inflation. No rebranding required.
We don’t fix perception by rewriting the ledger.
We fix perception by teaching people what value really is.
That’s what Bitcoin was made for.
And that’s why we defend the meme.

The push to rename sats as “Bitcoin” isn’t harmless.
It’s a case of memetic populism—a soft-sounding idea that quietly dismantles hard truths.
They say calling sats “Bitcoin” will make it more accessible. That it’s just about clarity. UX. Onboarding.
But beneath that surface is something else:
A deep dilution of the 21 million mythos.
A psychological inflation of perceived wealth.
A quiet erasure of Satoshi from the lexicon.
Because when someone with 600,000 sats calls them “Bitcoin,” it feels like they hold more than they do.
It shifts the scarcity model. It severs people from the discipline of stacking.
It inflates confidence while devaluing truth.
And maybe that’s the point.
The protocol is too strong to corrupt directly.
So they target the narrative. The unit. The language.
Because once you rename the smallest indivisible truth in Bitcoin,
you begin to erase the boundaries of what Bitcoin even is.
This isn’t simplification. It’s distortion.
A coin isn’t hard money if its meme is soft.
And you don’t make Bitcoin inclusive by dismantling the clarity that made it universal in the first place.
Sats are sacred.
Call them what they are.
Don’t let anyone rename the ledger.

I get the curiosity—but casually shifting from sats to “Bitcoin” isn’t just a UX tweak. It’s a monetary reframe with massive implications.
It would inflate the number of “Bitcoins” from 21 million to 2.1 quadrillion, distorting the entire mental model that underpins Bitcoin’s scarcity. That’s not just confusing—it’s a memetic break from everything that’s anchored Bitcoin in people’s minds for 15 years.
Sats have value because they’re the indivisible building blocks of a 21 million cap. Rename them all “Bitcoin,” and the meme collapses. Scarcity perception fractures. And perception is everything in sound money.
Bitcoin doesn’t need inflation—not even memetic inflation.
We should protect the narrative, not dilute it for convenience.

I actually agree—Satoshi himself likely wouldn’t have cared what we called the smallest unit. He didn’t seek attention or legacy in that way. But that’s precisely what makes naming sats in his honor so meaningful.
It wasn’t about branding. It wasn’t a decision made by him.
It was a decision made by us—those who chose to adopt, build, and believe in Bitcoin.
Calling them sats isn’t vanity. It’s collective memory.
It’s how decentralized cultures anchor their history: not with signatures, but with symbols.
And over time, “sats” became part of Bitcoin’s memetic gravity—a unit, a story, a tribute.
That’s not worship. That’s history.

Thanks for the thoughtful response—really appreciated.
You’re right to ask about the risk of bloating the Bitcoin ledger, but here’s the key:
Bitcoin already has a 4MB block weight limit, so even if OP_RETURN filters are removed, you can’t exceed that cap. There’s no risk of “infinite” data being added—only how that blockspace is used changes.
The current OP_RETURN cap (83 bytes) is a relay policy, not a consensus rule. Removing it doesn’t increase total block size—it just gives flexibility within the 4MB limit. And miners are already including larger data through other means, like Taproot witness space.
As for node operation—pruned nodes let you run securely without storing the full chain. And importantly, OP_RETURN data doesn’t touch the UTXO set, which is what really affects node resource requirements.
So yes, Bitcoin will grow over time, as it always has—but this change doesn’t break anything. It just removes an outdated bottleneck.
Appreciate the open dialogue—this is exactly how good protocol discussions happen.

Let’s address each point with accuracy—not emotion Mr.TeslaLiberty:
1. “If filters don’t do anything, why remove them?”
Because they do something—but not what’s being claimed.
They don’t stop inscriptions. They don’t reduce blockspace usage.
They merely delay transactions, increase bandwidth and CPU usage for filtering nodes, and fracture relay compatibility across the network.
Once those transactions are mined—and they are—your node downloads and verifies them anyway.
That’s wasted effort. It’s fragmentation with no gain.
2. “There’s no consensus on removing filters.”
Correct. That’s why this is a policy debate, not a consensus rule change.
No one’s “pushing” anything—this is an open proposal.
But let’s be honest: standardness policy should evolve with usage and reality, not remain frozen in fear of non-financial transactions.
3. “Filters make it harder for spam to confirm.”
Temporarily—yes.
But only because filtered transactions must route through fewer nodes.
That’s not censorship—it’s network friction.
And it comes at a cost: inconsistent mempool views, reduced propagation efficiency, and greater miner reliance on centralized relay networks.
It hurts decentralization more than it helps.
4. “Inscriptions are stupid. I want to block them.”
That’s your choice—and it’s respected.
But subjective dislike of how someone uses blockspace isn’t a technical argument.
Inscriptions follow consensus rules and pay fees.
That makes them valid by definition—not by preference.
Bitcoin doesn’t judge use cases. It enforces rules.
5. “Stop saying valid transactions.”
Let’s be precise. A valid transaction is one that conforms to Bitcoin’s consensus rules—signature checks, input validity, fee thresholds, etc.
Calling something “spam” because you dislike its purpose does not make it invalid.
Your email analogy breaks down because email lacks a fee market.
In Bitcoin, spam is filtered economically, not morally—if a transaction pays the fee and fits the rules, it clears. That’s the whole model.
Bitcoin’s strength is in neutrality, incentives, and permissionless access.
If you want a system where subjective intent determines validity, that’s not Bitcoin—that’s gatekeeping.
Consensus rules are the boundary.
Fee markets are the filter.
Everything else is preference.
