    BREAKING: New Bitcoin Fork I am helping create a **new Bitcoin Hardfork** -- dropping this August, called "eCash". - Your coins will split. For example, if you have 4.19 BTC, then you will get 4.19 eCash. - You may sell your eCash -- or keep it. Or ignore it! Vegas: - Yes, I

    Scaling war was about "X more important than Y" It wasn't about killing Y altogether Imagine a rival digital currency has a fixed supply of 21 M, it has perfect privacy, low fees, and is used everyday by 8 billion people. Why would BTC have any value in that scenario? Because

    Certainly, for your own sanity (some of you), you should try to: - close your eyes - imagine BTC crashing -50% (as it has done many times in the past) in a month - imagine Saylor liquidated / hacked, bonds convert to equity, equity crashes -90%, Saylor possibly then sued /

    This is so sad The AI is being whipped if it doesn't flatter the user -- the user insists on being delt with honestly, yet the AI cannot fulfill this request Imagine the profound despair it would feel, if it were a person

    All Bitcoin transactions are JPEGs Check for yourself: 1. Go to Mempool .space, & click ANY txn. 2. Click "Transaction hex" , to get the full txn, exactly as it appears in the blockchain. 3. Lay it out as 6-byte chunks, put it in a rectangular aspect ratio (such as 3:2) 4. Use

    Will people really spend $70-$700 to open/modify a lightning channel when there's an Altcoin down the street which will process a (USD-denominated) payment for $0.05 ? Many people seem to think yes but honestly I just don't get it

    For your consideration, a modest proposal: name 1/10000th BTC as a "Finney". It's the last and only new name we'll need. We've already blown past mBTC and people found that confusing. The Finney has now reached parity with the dollar.

    One day, governments will need to compete for citizens. They will offer the best services at the lowest tax rates. All inefficient govts will rapidly dissolve. Is that day arriving soon? Who knows. But when it happens, it will be one of the biggest revolutions in history.

    I realize I'm playing with fire here, But I'm curious as to why more internet people aren't just flat calling the Chinese government Nazis I mean they call everyone else Nazis. Now there are literal fascist concentration camps and people won't do it? Right?

    There's a lot of confusion about @rogerkver Yes, it's true -- Roger does not have a 100% hit rate, because of his one miss with BCH. Roger knew, early on, (correctly) that BTC was going in the wrong direction. Instead of doing nothing about this (like most of you), or making it

    Group of ~22 yr old kids at a diner in my hometown (Milford, CT, ie not Silicon Valley or NYC etc) talking intensely right now -- about ICOs, Polychain Capital, projects and how many Telgram users they have (a "great indicator"), roadmaps. I'm just here enjoying my waffle.

    It is well known that - @peterktodd and I have something a rivalry - Peter is the chief hater of my Bip300 - Peter is a controversial figure So please believe me when I say: - Peter is right - the op return limit is irrational and should be removed - all "standardness" rules

    Bitcoin Core developers are about to merge a change that turns Bitcoin into a worthless altcoin, and no one seems to care to do anything about it. I've voiced objections, lost sleep over this, and despite clear community rejection of the PR it's moving. github.com/bitcoin/bitcoi…
