here's an argument i consider more persuasive for spam tradeoffs run amok: as bitcoin tech improves, we should have more cryptographic fungibility, and the blockchain converges to a cryptographic accumulator. you can't censor anything, you can't filter anything as it's all blobs.

JAVIER MILEI UNRAVELED No Crying in the Casino! Last week Argentina’s Javier Milei regime tried to roll over bonds by offering investors an insane 69% interest rate, and only succeeded in rolling over 61% of them. Even a 69% annual interest rate isn’t enough to tempt investors

“During his first year in office, Milei used his free marketeer TV routine to pretend to bring economic freedom to the Argentine economy, but reneged on his campaign promise to shut down the central bank, and instead went about attempting to save it by adding its debt to the

Looking rich is easy. Staying wealthy is hard. Bitcoin turns status spending into disciplined saving. 👇

JUST IN: "You need to decide which is more important to you: censoring spam, or having Bitcoin remain uncensorable. I know where I stand," says Adam Back.

There you have it! Thursday at noon ET / 9am PT, Georges Karam and Ben Werkman in conversation with Brady Swenson discussing the Sequans strategic Bitcoin accumulation roadmap 😎

“I promise to pay the bearer on demand TEN BILLION DOLLARS for the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe” All fiat will go to zero, it’s just a matter of time So grateful we have a technology to finally protect ANYONE from this scandalous time theft Not stablecoins, not “crypto” — Bitcoin

On this day in 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto emailed Adam Back about citing Hashcash in the Bitcoin whitepaper. Adam replied the next day and later co-founded Blockstream to help build Bitcoin’s future. That future is now. Bitcoin’s here. Make it yours with the Blockstream app.

The fact that Bitcoin exists is actually something we should celebrate every single day

Knots has code to turn itself off at a set expiry date. Unnecessary, stupid, and outright dangerous. Did you know? Was it discussed in a team of experts? How can such a dangerous "feature" even make it into a release? By trusting a single guy who lives in his own reality.

US TREASURY JUST BOUGHT BACK $4B OF ITS OWN DEBT Read that again. Yes read it again. The issuer of the world’s reserve currency is now in the market buying back its IOUs. One of the largest Treasury buybacks in history. Translation: the system is eating itself. Liquidity black

Am I super wealthy? Lol

Check out this data over the past 8 days ~30% of transactions were sub 1sat/vB Super Testnet what would convince you that the old 1 sat/vB min relay fee filter is no longer particularly relevant? (Data uses the same method you used for your filter-stats page, which ignores

GOOD MORNING why do you think everyone who understands open source is warning people about running this dumpster fire of a code base. Keep listening to the podcasters, I'm sure they know what they're talking about. Bitcoin doesn't forgive. You're responsible if you get rekt.

#Bitcoin is the only fixed-supply asset in the history of humanity. Bitcoin’s supply is capped at 21M, with 19M+ already issued. A finite supply creates infinite opportunity. Happy #BitcoinInfinityDay ♾

Block 911161 was 98% empty! Many big beautiful consolidations were waiting to be included, which would have removed thousands of utxo's from the utxo set. Unfortunately the miner in question is FILTERING transactions below 1 sat/vB! 🍿

Is anyone super wealthy? :)

And by the way, Bitcoin Knots is not the only way to learn. Have a look at linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/12.4-…

Knots LARPers are having a mental breakdown bc adam back understands you can only choose one: 1) censorship resistance, or 2) a centralized entity that declares transactions as unkosher / haram / sinful math doesn't care about your feelings or your fairy tale ideology.
