Core is right on this one. Fighting for spam & nonsense to be on chain isn’t freedom.

@cedyougelman A great reasoned take on the Core vs Knots debate, that makes it pretty clear what side of the fence node runners should land on.

Bitcoin is financial. Being able to put memes and pictures on chain isn’t important! The so called libertarians claiming this is a centralized takeover are ridiculous

I completely disagree with Luongo on the 24/7 trading. He sounds like a wall street shill with that opinion. Bitcoin trades 24/7 an it’s a beautiful thing! I only DCA and long term invest, so fuck wall street, fuck NyC, fuck London and fuck trading shitcoins/stocks

Good show. It’s notable that neither the Square Bitcoin story nor the BRINGIN story about the Estonian tradfi integration project make any mention of the need for governments to loosen up on tax reporting rules and implementation of deminimus rules regarding spending Bitcoin. Seems like a good way to mass KYC people that have Bitcoin to spend. I dunno….

If he moves to Puerto Rico that's not tax evasion that's just using the tax code and playing by the rules. Fuck them! Dirty criminal thieves! Yes Puerto Rico is a tax haven because it's a crappy place to live and they're trying to get people with money to go there and live and invest. They do get special IRS treatment for things like trading and capital gains. It sounds like that wasn't the issue though, the issue was that he was claiming to live in Puerto Rico when he was actually in San Francisco and he got caught doing that

The 4 year cycle right dead. Not at all. I’m so sick of every vid on podcast claiming otherwise. Also if we topped for cycle ag 126K which is 50/50 right now, that’s great! I’ll take the 80% move up from 2021 cycle top since we skid for the death of Alt coin go up with Bitcoin! Alt season officially died! I’d say it’s worth a lot to finally loose that alt coins always follow Bitcoin boom crap. Plus we aren’t going to go up 1500% or something when we have a multi trillion dollar cap. I’m team Bitcoin hard! But you guys are sounding so corny and ridiculous claiming 4 year cycle is magically over, nope, we either topped at 126K or will top a little higher best couple months before a bear market part of cycle. I guys say this every time

    For now I'm pretty happy learning all of the interesting technical aspects of Bitcoin and various apps to run on my node and how to integrate that with my homelab! Is there an OSI model like tool to understanding how consensus layer interacts with mempool and how layer 2s like Lightning and Liquid can transfer sats without using block space?

    Bitcoin isn’t helped by having ability to embed videos & memes in it. A rare time Core makes way more sense

    A lot of people weighing in on the core vs knots debate are totally missing the point when it comes to the impact of the potential inclusion of CSAM to the Bitcoin blockchain. It’s not the potential inclusion of this data and imagery to the blockchain that is the threat. It’s what Bitcoin’s enemies DO with the knowledge of the potential inclusion of such material to the blockchain that is the threat. You know, the same people that have claimed that Bitcoin will boil the oceans and that it uses the same amount of electricity as a small country with every transaction? Absolute wizards. Unnecessarily altering the most important innovation in Human history since the harnessing of electricity. #runknots

    One of the main things keeping me from switching fully to @npub1v5ufyh4lk… is the lack of desktop or web support. I’m not going to pretend that adding a new platform to support would be easy, but so many other podcast apps have a desktop equivalent and the lack of one messes with my existing flow. I still want to support the app though and continue to boost through it.

    Fresh TWiB! And maybe the last one for a couple of weeks. I think an important one too, especially if you’ve been wondering why bitcoin didn’t pump after the rate cut. And I cover that new PR to core that walks back some configuration deprecation. Don’t miss this one!
