Show Notes

1k "The dollar is king, we're gonna keep it that way. Just saying, if people wanna challenge it, they can, but they're going to pay a big price. And I don't think any of them are willing to pay that price." - Donald Trump
Now you know. To be fair, it was in reference to BRICS and you can't accuse the man of consistency.

1k Interesting perspective: the US government having a stake in Bitcoin, preferably a larger stake than its adversaries, as a shield against bad (and developer unfriendly) policy.
That said, I think Bitcoin is more useful for small holders than for nation states - which can just use their army to guard a bunch of hard to steal gold.

100 Re. de macht van pools: het is goed dat (bij zowel Stratum v2 als Datum) pools een block template actief moeten afwijzen. Dan wéét je al miner tenminste dat er censuur is, nu kom je daar maar moeilijk achter.
Stratum v2 op BitAxe staat ook op mijn wensenlijstje, er is een Github issue voor. Maar is niet iets wat ik zelf kan.
