No, Luke is obviously correct here. You can't have a serious money if the mining pools can just decide to ignore node runners whenever they want to, or are pressured to. Again, there was no URSF, but rather just behind the scenes lobbying. Large mining pool operators chose to side with Core and Saylor and against node runners. How many times will you need to observe this happening before you understand that node runners are no longer in control on BTC? It's simply not true that XBT is highly centralized, nor that everyone needs to do what Luke says. For example, we're about to do a soft fork that Luke is against. Care to discuss miner diversity on the SHA-256 chain?

Heavenly Father, help me to trust You with the things I cannot change. Give me courage to do what I can, and wisdom to know the difference. Guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and fill me with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Amen.

I'm going to be honest with you. You're not going to want to hear this. And you certainly won't agree, but I'm damn sure right about it. Are you ready? Don't do this. Convey all 100 things to her with non-verbals and action over time and every day. Compliments are ok sparingly and non gushing. But if you literally write down 100 things you appreciate about your wife and give them to her, her conscious mind will like it, she'll even tear up probably, and hug and kiss you, but subconsciously you'll have reduced yourself to her. You'll have damaged the necessity for you to remain a challenge and a mystery to her. And that is the basic foundation of what makes you attractive to her. Your strength, tenderness, wisdom, leadership, confidence, humor, personality, even your love for God, all build your attractiveness upon this singular foundation: Challenge & Mystery. And now you know. It's the perennial truth of why women - even decades long married women - are attracted to their man. Period.

I'll be eating a lotta crow and a lot less grassfed beef if this shitcoin goes to zero. And I'll owe it all to you coretards. Spilled milk. Let's just hope fiat's problems are more urgent and bigger than spamcoin's.

My wife just committed a capital crime in Sicily. But thinks she can get away with it in America. She's cooking 4th generation sauce filling the house with aroma, with zero intention of feeding it to us anytime in the next 24 hours. Can someone please alert the authorities.

Oh I have not yet begun to worry them yet. I’ve dealt with this for far too long and seen far too much. From this point forward, any threats (either personal or professional) will be ruthlessly retaliated against by me and the alliances I’ve forged. I may not succeed in deterring or defeating every attack. But it’ll be a fight. I will make every last one of them famous by dragging them into the sunlight for the world to see. I’m not interested in worrying about what they’re going to do. It’s time for them to start worrying about what we’re going to do. We won’t be intimidated by demons openly frothing at the mouth over our annihilation.

I want to remind @SenatorSlotkin & @SenMarkKelly & the rest of the Color Revolution insurrectionists of a very fundamental truth thats been a part of every American since the beginning: we will not tolerate Authoritarians who seek to rule over us, especially not Revolutionary Communists & their Islamist co-conspirators engaged in an attempt to bring down our government & install themselves. The people you are starting a war with won’t show you any quarter. We don’t want that war you are provoking. We’ve worked within the Democratic framework of our Constitution, forged in the blood of the American Revolution for 250 years. We will NOT TOLERATE your attempt to destroy all of that, in the 250th year of our nation. You have chosen extremism so extreme you can no longer win elections without fraud or violence, or both. That will not be allowed to continue. There are two choices for you to choose from: 1. Come to the difficult realization that you have lost your way & walk away from your extremism, & your betrayal of your country & your path of insurrection. Or 2. Choose to carry on with your attempt to subvert & overthrow the Government, & ultimately force a reckoning. I’m warning you with clear language & sincerity that if you continue down the road you’re traveling now, the insurrection act & the Trump administration will be the least of your concerns. You don’t have enough ACAB, BLM, Atifa, DSA & other chattel to accomplish what you seek to do. The modeling your conspiracy is operating on hasnt taken into account who you will actually be facing- in the streets, on the roof tops, at the ballot box, in the courts, in your own neighborhoods. I’m warning you, take the off ramp before it’s too late. Leave Pandora’s box closed. @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @CynicalPublius @DataRepublican

Remember when Bitcoiners used to hope and pray that Amazon would start accepting Bitcoin soon? You never even hear that on the wish list anymore. About 1% of Bitcoiners care about medium of exchange. You can't expect the world to use Bitcoin as money if even Bitcoiners won't

I really look forward to reading Elon’s biography in the future, when he reflects upon the Ukraine war and the politics a company like his ultimately will become involved in, whether the owners want it or not. It’s a bit sad to think about the fact that - those who build the greatest things ultimately becomes key targets for political interests who want to use them. Why cannot someone who just wants to make a living by creating something good for the world be let alone? I wonder to what extent Elon’s hands have been tied in this conflict. How much wiggle room did he actually have to do what he believed was the right thing, considering how the war changed character as time passed by? And - is it even possible for him now to switch off Ukraine’s access to Starlink if he wants to end the war? This is a complex and dangerous game, and I am happy I am not in the middle of it.

Everyone planning to sail solo asks a million questions about sleep schedules, catnaps, and keeping a proper lookout. Then you reach a certain age and apparently just say, “F it. I’ve had a good life.” And sleep for 11 straight hours. 💀

The PENDULUM Effect: As Europe plunges into this “Palestine curse,” the man they will eventually choose to rescue them from it will grant the Jews the right to build a temple on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. Will evil stop there? No! Halfway through that peace agreement, he will demand to be worshipped as God in that very temple! If you’re born again, you should no longer be here when all of this happens. That is how close we are to our blessed hope!

In 2026, this is how women are treated for peacefully standing up for their rights. There was no way I was going to leave that stadium of my own free will. We did nothing wrong.
