BTC has so thoroughly abandoned its purpose that disinterested normies outside any crypto echo chamber openly talk about how much centralization it now has and how it's not even safe to buy drugs with it. you simply can't hide this failure from the public anymore. the narratives attached to it are a complete embarrassment. BTC is controlled opposition. bad people are constantly injecting it with stupid ideas and propping it up via wallstreet instrumentation. it is featured first in the public perception in order to mislead the public on what freedom money should look like, until stablecoins can take over.
bip110 isn't going to fix anything. under bip110 you still have the same trusted third parties doing the same stupid centralizing bullshit. before bip110, almost everyone uses bitcoin through a trusted third party with no room or opcodes for anything else, and after bip110 it will remain the same. bip110 only exists to distract people with utter nonsense so none of the actual problems get addressed. it was coded and astroturfed by complete spooks with FBI connections. they have no intention of actually activating it, just to distract and damage the community further.

I think you are married to hashrate escrows or perhaps the airdrop you'll be getting next month. I will also be collecting this airdrop... BCH has enough expressiveness already that they could build a two way peg, without doing hashrate escrows. BTC doesn't need hashrate escrows to get good sidechains, it can be done in other ways as well
if you stay married like this and keep talking about it this way, people will say sidechains are bad because of a perceived flaw in hashrate escrows

I also think that a lot of gay people get bullied or feel like they don't fit in, and they gravitate to computers more than the average person. there is an immense social pressure on gay people to become a giant socialist piece of garbage. when they don't want to do that they instead become computer libertarians and play with their bitcoins.

it needs to capture all value because of the emission curve and the dwindling block subsidy. it needs to devour other altcoins and take their fee revenue or it won't be able to pay for its own network security. this might not even work and I agree with you I am comfortable on ETH and XMR today. but BTC cannot just do nothing and everything so far has not worked. the fee market is collapsed.

it is impossible for a large number of people to run their own nodes. not just difficult, actually impossible. almost everyone on lightning is using an IOU system to borrow channels being operated by a business. they are not using their own nodes. lightning was invented to reintroduce banking into bitcoin. it is the reason why these companies exist. if lightning works, why do these companies need to exist?

2026-06-28 18:12:48 UTC

- reply

the only reason why people FUD drivechains, or covenants, or string concatenation, is that there is now a whole ecosystem of companies running some kind of centralized, parasitic, lightning flavored scaling on top of bitcoin. one little opcode would put these companies out of business. they have to FUD the sidechain idea and freeze opcodes so they don't die. this is a form of capture and it is sad that you can't tell it is happening.

2026-06-28 18:06:17 UTC

there are definitely multiple ways to do sidechains on bitcoin. I don't think bip300 is necessarily the best way and I'd really like bitcoin to get covenants, but I am still definitely going to play with paul's ecash. I am thinking about how many sats I can shove into a trezor before activation day, so I can have as much of it as possible.

litecoin has the same ux bitcoin originally had, it never had serious congestion, and it doesn't carry any blocksize wars baggage. when bitcoin became congested people started using litecoin for ecommerce, or to swap it to monero, or do other things. and they just never stopped.

I am so sick of the illusion that nostr is this transcendent unstoppable decentralized thing. you are just asking 12 people permission to serve your cryptographically signed fedpost. at least with the fediverse you know who is going down for you.

it's not an easy decision. you let people in your house and they make a mess, and in the back of your head, you worry that someone will get the government called on you. graf has a name and a face and he lives in trudeau's canada. he is also a retarded alcoholic.
I have a peertube instance. I have never let other users sign up. I was approached by a girl from the kiwi farms pleroma instance and she asked me permission to use it to host movie night streams. I knew I was not prepared for these haunting thoughts and I told her no. then I witnessed her do something really gross with other people in a sick place.
you go on nostr and you ask 12 people permission to be in their house and under normal circumstances most of them don't care enough to say no because the network is small. but they all take a risk on you and every other user. maybe you are braver than me and someday you will stick your neck out for others.

bitcoiners have multiple paths to take on altcoins and eliminate most of them. this was the original plan and the original definition of bitcoin maximalism. but they have abandoned these plans in favor of broken and stupid technologies like lightning and now people use altcoins. it's the stubborn bitcoiners who are to blame for the continued success of the altcoins. every successful altcoin was supposed to be a bitcoin sidechain.

trusted third party fetishism, wasting time on lightning, transaction fee revenue antipathy, premature ossification, HODL NGU, saifedeanism... the rot is so deeply ingrained that only price action will shake it off. we tried reasoning with them and it did not work. an extended bear market would be chemotherapy.

putting store of value before medium of exchange is a lie. it doesn't work. it invites disgusting and unproductive behavior. everyone outside the maxi cult hates everything it did. it makes the public think you are all scammers and they are right to believe this. the public doesn't hate you because of a false association with solana memecoins. this one's really all on you.
same thing with trusted third parties. I see this every day outside of bitcoin circles. competent people with a casual interest in technology and ecommerce look at what you are doing with this fake adoption and fake scaling. they clearly see you rewarding all these middlemen and defeating the purpose of bitcoin. and they laugh at it and see that it is stupid and pointless. they tell their friends that bitcoin is retarded and they are using the truth.

nostr doesn't have a good enough replacement for the forum. we just have stacker news. it's too focused on earning money and being bitcoin branded and the UX smells like reddit. I hate stacker news. it's totally cringe. I want a UX closer to xenforo or imageboards. and I want it so that anyone can choose to be a moderator of a forum and anyone can ignore the moderator's actions if they do a bad job. we have "groups" in some clients but the UX is all over the place and smells too much like microblogging.

can you think of a method besides doxxing yourself in public. to expand on that, can you think of a way so that a person can prove they do not control two different self-sovereign identities?

fedi is all smoke and mirrors. one person pretends to be four people! and if you can prove that it is really four people, in turn it is easier for the state to find out who they are and unplug their bank. not to mention, how hard is it really for four people to be evil together? it's not hard at all. it is better to not recreate banks.

there's also the issue with providing what happened to an arbitrator. it's easier to prove you sent an amazon card earmarked to the other person's email address. even with cash in mail with some difficulty you can show evidence you sent something to the address you were supposed to send it to and they need to open it on camera to prove wrongdoing. it needs to be easy to verify the payment.

people confuse me for a monero worshipper. I want something else which doesn't exist yet. but it's hard to believe that bitcoin will ever get that thing because you retards want to ossify your trusted third parties and never improve bitcoin again. and it's easy to recognize the dominant currency on DNMs and the reasons why they don't use lightning.
ossify? ossify what? what are you ossifying?

it's easier to double spend a Walmart giftcard. from the bisq docs when you pay with an Amazon gift card I'm pretty sure you need to create the card as earmarked for your counterparty, so you can't just spend it before they do. with the Walmart gift card that's not possible. the system needs to be limited to payment methods which are hard to double spend or claw back. that pretty much leaves cash in mail as the best option besides zelle. I have seen other platforms let you sell double spend vulnerable gift cards but you get less for them.

what do these things have in common?

why are you trying to invite people in who are stupid enough to click on a "log in with google" button? they should be ridiculed until they change their ways. that's called gatekeeping and it's for maintaining a cultural standard. go make a bluesky app if you're just going to be like this.

anything that pays miners is a good thing. transaction fee revenue needs to gradually replace the block subsidy... but alex, you will eventually run into the same problem everyone runs into. if you cause too much L1 activity to happen, the users will slam into a brick wall when blocks get full. the fees skyrocket and the user experience is destroyed.
some people think the way around this is lightning or cashu or something else. others think it's to increase the blocksize or enable a better way to have merge mined sidechains.
you might make @npub1jvx…7yqz really happy if you enable tipping on rootstock, which is the best merge-mined sidechain that can be made today. hopefully a covenants soft-fork will enable sidechains to get even better someday. but doing this on L1 is just as much of a dead end as lightning is.

if you think the secure enclave idea makes cashu safe, you have the IQ of a turkey sandwich

bisq is jank. they are focusing too much on features nobody cares about when they should first add the existing bisq 1 features people actually use to bisq 2, then sunset bisq 1.

paul's hard fork is not any less sane or rational than what most of the bitcoin ecosystem is already doing. there is already a critical mass of people openly tolerating bitcoin treasury scams. there are now multiple centralized L2s controlled by creepy companies alongside literal fake bitcoin affinity scams being passed off as the real thing. monero and freaking tether have soaked up all the real activity that remains. all the usage patterns have lead to an extended fee market collapse. the users have never been dumber or less sovereign. best of all, there are people demanding to ossify, as if we're somehow in the ideal state and it should never change. it's simply disgusting.

if you don't like the Arbitrum situation, don't copy them! stop making centralized or permissioned L2s on bitcoin. activate covenants and unlock something better.
