In 2021, my spam folder had 10 emails a day from blockchain consultants offering to help @commerceBlock scale. Fast forward to 2024, and it's AI consultants making the same offers. Ironically, they're the same people from the same companies...

JPEGs, spam, and junk items on the Bitcoin blockchain are distractions. The real adversary is companies like ChainAnalysis, whose voodoo science threatens Bitcoin's foundational principle as a peer-to-peer currency. In the Roman Sterlingov case, unreviewed, closed-source

Who cares about perfection?
Even the moon is not perfect, it is full of craters.
The sea is incredibly beautiful, but salty and dark in the depths.
