Serious question: why are so many bitcoiners paying so much attention to BIP-110 ? It was a pretty clear DOA from early on. But seems many are obsessed with throwing shit at it. Why give it the attention? Don't we have more important stuff to talk about in Bitcoin land?

Nobody is born low agency. Babies are the highest-agency creatures alive, they will absolutely try to eat a battery, they have no concept of "I can't." Low agency is learned, usually from being punished for trying.

"There is only one Bitcoin" Yep. And it’s centralized and captured with pure fiat governance and culture. I have no interest in the narratives about what constitutes "real" Bitcoin. I’ve lost faith in BTC’s potential to serve as a technology for freedom in the long run. Because the core idea is gone. If THE IDEA lives on in a new chain, with the core motivated social layer that carried the BIP-110 fire, node runners, and the people who were there for the idea rather than just blind "number go up" gains and clique clout.. then that’s where I’ll focus my energy. I’ll never debate or argue what "real" Bitcoin is. I don’t care about tickers. That discourse is extremely tainted by years of bad actors, and will lead to nothing good. It’s about the IDEA, not the name. The name of the chain carrying the IDEA onwards is not important to me. I put my energy and attention where I have faith and conviction.

Yesterday I began fully integrating the @OpenAI trust cyber program into my Bitcoin Red Team efforts. This morning I woke up to see this. I am now being blocked from doing additional analysis on a codebase which I've already responsibly disclosed to, and have received confirmation had legitimate findings. To be clear, this is after having already KYC'd and completed the onboarding process months ago to use the cyber capabilities OpenAI has to offer. I am now prevented from being able to continue the investigation in a further effort to make sure their code changes are sufficient, as well as understand if there are other issues that have yet to be discovered. It absolutely guts me as a patriotic American to have to do this, but I will be going back to using Chinese open source models to conduct my research to protect Bitcoin infrastructure. Black hats will not hit these issues. The white hats will. We've hit a local minima in policy. Intelligence is unrestricted for those who don't follow rules, and those who engadge in harm reduction are left on the sidelines. What are we doing in this country? How is this keeping people safe? Please do something @DavidSacks @sama @realDonaldTrump

Anyone else seeing the similarities between $BTC in Oct 22 and now? scale the daily fractal a bit and it matches pretty good. would put the bottom at 54k early october. lets see.

Since the Lazarus attack in February 2025, Bybit has been working on recovery from every possible angle. Today, we took another step forward. Bybit has filed a civil lawsuit against the DPRK and the Lazarus Group, and secured a preliminary injunction freezing identified stolen assets while the case moves forward. So far, we have recovered about $48.4M, with another $30.5M frozen across more than 28 exchanges and custodians. This has taken a lot of cooperation across exchanges, blockchain analytics firms, custodians and law enforcement agencies . The attack was against Bybit, but the problem is much bigger than Bybit. Cybercrime is a threat to the entire crypto industry. We will keep working with everyone who can help trace, freeze and recover stolen assets and we’ll keep using every lawful tool available. The fight isn’t over. We keep pushing to build a new financial platform that is safer for everyone. #NewFinancialPlatform#

"I played russian roulette 5 times and won. I know people call it risky, but they just don't understand it. My case proves that it is easy money. you should do it too" Sounds crazy, but thats exactly how some guys try to sell you their "investment strategy"... Will see a lot of that in the coming bull.

Finally announcing what i've been building recently for Zcash: my version of a cypherpunk-like zcash block explorer (and analytics like cross-chain flows, network and shielded stats) 🛡️ $ZEC @shieldedscanxyz is live in beta from today 💯 👉
