Question for your crew:
If it is determined that Jane Street has been manipulating the price of bitcoin, and creating billions in losses in liquidating cascades and lost hodler value, but that manipulation has been done by taking advantage of loopholes which are not well defined or illegal within existing law:
Should the market regulators:
A: define those loopholes and close them immediately
B: open an enormous, almost unlimited “loophole exploiters only” area where they and other market makers can continue to create paper bitcoin and other spoofing strategies to distort the market and kill the inelasticity of Bitcoins fixed cap 21M supply

You’re doing your best to gaslight here, particularly after I said I’m not signaling bip-110. You could easily look at the mempool screenshot and draw the conclusion that the taproot enabled workarounds that allowed inscriptions and dust utxo bloat is livable and that fees would drive them out with more L1 use, but also conclude that unilaterally blowing out op-return opens additional unwanted vectors that an 83 byte return didnt. 🤷‍♂️. Balance takes are lost here on both sides but again, you’ve concluded that those trying to learn, assess and decide are retarded if they dont agree with you.

2026-02-24 15:23:59 UTC

I’ve been called retarded quite a bit in the last 24 hours.
I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about ₿, bip-110 and how it correlates to my other lifelong passion, aortic surgery. There are several parallels to protocol rule consensus and aseptic technique/sterile field, bacteria to spam, and rule changes to combat new pathogens.
Perhaps I’ll write those parallels down, or perhaps I’ll keep my retarded ideas to myself. Either way, my nodes will signal their vote on the future direction of the protocol once I’ve completed my technical review of both arguments.
Name calling doesn’t bother me, but is certainly not constructive. Knotzies vs Coretard is elementary school playground stuff…not the hallmark of constructive discourse.

No, definitely not. I'm not signaling bip-110 and am still evaluating the technical arguments for both sides....but thanks for the broad assumptions and name calling...it definitely helps with open discourse.
From Loop's piece today, which I'm still digesting: "I believe that our primary goal should be to build / discover enough valuable use cases that we can generate sustainable demand for block space that results in a robust block space market and thus drives enough fee revenue to miners that it offsets the ever-decreasing block subsidy. "
My comment was an observation that one side is interested in a fee market for blockspace (data). Blockspace has value but it doesn't make it "hard money." The other side seems to be working to revert to the principals of hard money...which prop the native token of the blockchain Bitcoin. Taproot and the blowout of opreturn is enabling the fee market for data, but not necessarily hardening the money.
But hey, that just my retarded take. My nodes will signal what I choose when I'm finished with my thorough....some would call it zealous, review.

So revert the witness discount AND capping op return seems like a reasonable compromise. Dust moves to op return…but doesnt allow large data sets embedded in op…its a limited capacity dumpster. I assume this would also require a soft-fork to undue parts of segwit. Complicated.

2026-02-22 15:31:13 UTC

- reply

Fair technical concern around the bip-110 attempt to eliminate inscriptions and dust bloat. I’d appreciate a more nuanced debate around its merits and risks from folks who aren’t battling their own egos….”coretards vs knotzies” isn’t constructive for the node runners.
I still can’t make the jump from your concern around spam, to Core’s position of “let’s unilaterally blow out op return to create an unlimited data dumpster so the spammers have a place to party outside of the utxo set”
The unwillingness of Core to walk back a very contentious change, which has had significant consequences, is beyond me. Had they not made this move in V30, we’d likely not be looking at a soft fork proposal.
Perhaps a fight over Bitcoins direction was inevitable.
Appreciate the technical explanation of your concerns.

- reply

Agree that upgrading a ssd and upgrading ram are both expensive propositions for some….and pruning, while less than ideal, is a solution for limited storage.
I interested more in your first statement…how exactly does bip-110 “pollute the utxo set” a stated? My research would suggest the opposite. Was the utxo set more polluted or less polluted prior to these changes (pre taproot?)

2026-02-21 16:13:32 UTC

- reply

I dont know luke or his motives. I’m just a dude who runs nodes, stacks sats and cares deeply about sound money for my kids and eventual grandkids.
My dive on this indicates that a byproduct of his proposed changes…or reversions to legacy btc if you will, make it easier for node runners to spin up nodes around the globe….making node centralization less likely. If that makes him a statist ….🤷‍♂️ .
Bitcoin was always rules, not rulers. If you dont want rules at all you’re advocating some sort of protocol relativism…maybe one day the 21M cap becomes inconvenient to you, so that rule should be tossed too?
The node runners will vote. Name calling and accusing influencers and developers of misaligned incentives is useless and impossible. The ethos and rules of bitcoins future is up to the nodes.

2026-02-21 15:26:13 UTC

- reply

Sure it is. If you’re opposed to V30, you’re running V29 or running Knots. If you’re opposed to inscriptions and non-monetary dust data on chain, you might signal 110. You do or not do, there is no try.
I’m not pushing bip-110, i’m summarizing the argument against core’s changes. I’m running my nodes with the implementation of my choice.
If you’re not running and node and not opting for an implementation that suits your ethos around ₿, you’re still doing…you’re yelling into the internet hoping things work out.

#BIP-110 as I see it. Which way Bitcoiners?
Core has made an aggressive move to increase the value of blockspace at the expense of the native token ₿, which derives its value from being perfect money.
Blockspace, like cloud storage, is proving to be less and less valuable. Wall Street is clamoring to launch securities on ETH and SOL, but those launches—if successful—will do little to boost the value of the chain’s token and will only boost access to the security. Those chains are inefficient data infrastructure, not money.
If the native token continues to be valued by an increasing number of users worldwide, blockspace becomes more competitive on L1.
I find it hilarious that many of the small blockers who are glad-handing themselves for being right in the blockspace wars are NOW claiming that the capped OP_RETURN/no-inscriptions crowd are the dangerous change agents in Bitcoin.

Change? My nodes were activated when op return was capped (and before taproot.). I’m just choosing to avoid controversial changes. Bitcoin went from 0-100k USD (implying users found the token increasingly valuable) before Core decided to unilaterally blow out op return, and block and mock dissenting views. I thought this was rules without rulers?

World: What are you doing?
Me: Oh nothing, just mining my own business.

2025: a blip in time on the journey towards monetary freedom. The discussions about mnav, shareholder dilution, spam filters and developer influence, proof of reserves, Epstein and quantum will all be temporary diversions to Satoshi’s vision. He picked the destination and soundtrack…freedom money for humanity. So we all need to shut our cake holes and get back to basics: stack sats, cold store, run a node and hash at home. The road will be bumpy but #WAGMI

Day was going pretty great until this. Never sleep on your opsec. Gone from the car for15 mins and someone smash and grabbed in a busy parking lot. Got wife’s cash and ran up $600 on credit cards in 10 mins. Pain in the ass, but our fault for not being vigilant.

Difference between functionality and spread on strike and river was eye opening. Bravo River! Strike looking like Armstrong is in charge.

“Do you want all of the best things about you to remain hidden and buried and to one day rest alongside you in the graveyard?”
That hits. Jazz that up with some ai gen image and you’ve created the dankest of memes.

GM! Parents weekend at my son’s college. Egg fired up before dawn and is slowly infusing 30 lbs of pork shoulder with its pecan and hickory smoke show. Good bbq is a low time preference, proof of work game.

I’ve come to realize that most young men look outside for guidance, preferring to ignore their father’s advice, and become their own man. Its important to have good mentorship in this stage.

Remember - the pickpockets always work to distract their victims while they’re grabbing their wallet.
Lesson in there with the current state of political banter, conspiracy, and anger. Government masterclass in the fine art of distraction.

Is this the cycle that Bitcoiners will stop knob slobbing over every "BREAKING" Tom Lee and Cathy Wood price prediction? 🙏

They’re little humans just like you….they’re testing boundaries, seeing what they can get away with. Some are more stubborn than others…later in life obstinance can be a real gift. As far as discipline…consider that human behavior responds to a combo of the carrot and the stick. Set guidelines and communicate them. Good behavior gets the carrot, bad behavior the stick. Carrots at that age are more freedom, time to play, etc. The stick…not a physical stick but a real consequence. Could be a real meaningful timeout, loss of privileges/toys, pushups/laps if you’re coaching, etc can show that there are consequences to not following the rules of the game. Finally, be consistent with the rules, rewards and consequences with your spouse.

Awesome! Twice the reward! Best advice I can give for first 6 months, when you’re tested physically and emotionally is the old adage of “this too shall pass.” When at wits end, breathe and remind yourself of the above. The wins start stacking quickly once your child starts to smile and interact with you, but the first cpl months are a marathon.
