This argument has nothing to do with miners shutting down, but miners ignoring the nodes.
If they ignore BIP110, and continue to mine spam and 70% non monetary data they are assuming control of the network… at that point Bitcoin is no longer decentralized and a government could intervene through law.
This was a part of the legal argument in the Faketoshi case (Craig wright)… he sued Bitcoin devs saying changes were made to the protocol… but the nodes were actually controlling the network so he lost…
Also BIP110 does reduce spam. It’s called rdts - REDUCED DATA Temporary SOFT FORK. If you read the actual bip, you see that it never claims to stop spam completely… its goal is to reduce the massive bloat now and prepare for other ways to stop it in the future due to Cores open door policy.

2026-07-02 10:00:01 UTC

@nprofile…z57s just made the single most important argument for BIP110 in this video:
https://youtu.be/_8QhtlEad8I?is=Jdd6UUeBkHgP_OaZ
Currently miners have the defense of saying that nodes control the network. If they take that control and ignore the nodes/BIP110, they have no legal defense or way to resist government.

Also Fees are just an economic deterrent, but they only work if the actor is constrained by profit.
If the actor is motivated by other incentives (like creating tokens, specific cultural/political expression, or running scams like runes or “Stablecoins on BTC”), they may be willing to pay whatever fee the market dictates… and they are doing this now. EVERY SINGLE DAY burdening the cost onto the node runner.

That’s some serious cognitive dissonance. No solution proposed… no actual reasoning of why the BIP is “bad”… you just think this issue is gonna fix it self somehow I guess lol
How much worse does it need to get? 99% non monetary data? We already are at 70% … and there are memes, runes and literally a stablecoin scam being run on BTC on the backs of the nodes.
A temporary soft fork is a conservative solution, and very safe considering there’s not even an URSF.

If the "bloat" continues to the point where node costs skyrocket, we aren't going to "upgrade" to better hardware. We are simply going to lose sovereignty.
If running a node becomes a job for a data center rather than an individual, the network is no longer Bitcoin; it becomes a distributed SQL database managed by a few large entities.
This is why we run BIP110 and reject Core.

If miners are the only thing that matters, why do we bother running full nodes? If a miner produces a block with invalid signatures, what keeps that block from being accepted by the rest of the network?
More importantly, If miners fill blocks with non-monetary data, are we still using Bitcoin as a monetary network, or just a decentralized data storage solution? At what percentage is arbitrary data okay? 60%, 80%? 99%?

What’s insane to me is the cognitive dissonance here: “Landauer’s original insight was that informational distinctions possess thermodynamic consequences.”
You realize that there serious thermodynamic consequences especially since we cannot erase data on Bitcoin without compromising it, yet you are literally an apologist for spam and non monetary use cases. That is throughly against what Satoshi intended with Bitcoin. He was anti- spam, like any rational developer is. He even incorporated filters to the mempool and wrote extensively about it in the forms and whitepaper. He shut down bitdns and wanted a separate chain so that bitcoin could scale and nodes wouldn’t be burden with extra data storage. He worked extensively to keep Bitcoin strictly a peer to peer electronic cash network. Nothing else. This is literally the same debate that forced out Vitalik and created eth.
Yet here you are constantly justifying using Bitcoin as something other than money, appealing to complexity and ignoring the fact that nodes are the mechanism which secure the network in the first place. Even worse is that you are pretending that it is non existent and somehow “undefinable” when the evidence is right there for anyone to see.
You said it yourself: “Protocol change is the Landauer Attack.”
EXACTLY. Core changed the protocol without consensus and opened op return. They opened the floodgates for spam and filled the chain with 47% non monetary transactions. How much higher does that need to be until it’s no longer fucking bitcoin? 70% 99%?
Core is the landauer attack.
The level of cognitive dissonance here is unfathomable…
Complete ignorance…. Hopefully it’s just because you have somehow gotten this far without running a node yourself, because if not, that would imply you are a fraud or scammer (because you are literally defending them).

October 2025- The default ⁠-datacarriersize⁠ parameter was removed, allowing ⁠OP_RETURN⁠ scripts to be as large as the maximum standard transaction size. There was pushback and no consensus on this change, yet it was done anyway. Since then it was proven this change was implemented to better accommodate scams like Runes. There was also a bug which deleted wallets and users bitcoin.
I’ve read that letter before… it’s a bunch of PR nonsense that doesn’t address any of the problems they cased months later. Plus every single one of those devs are non Bitcoiners and some were literally only maintainers because they slept with the founder of Brink (the funding org to core).
And for that last part… I like Luke and run knots/rdts so I’m not sure what you are referring to with that last line… ? Maybe you just have no clue what’s going on?

The Landauer principle dictates that erasing information has a mandatory energy cost. It’s a basic and elementary principle of physics you seem to be forgetting.
Applied to Bitcoin, this is the argument for BIP-110: blockspace is a finite physical resource. Storing "arbitrary data" forces nodes to expend energy and hardware capacity for non-monetary purposes. This "bloat" which is being forced onchain from Core, wastes the thermodynamic work securing the network, pushing it toward centralization.
Bitcoin will not survive and come for “quantum bio” if it continues expanding 2-3 gb a week full of non monetary or illicit material… it will go extinct. Just like BSV, BCH and what’s happening to Eth and shitcoins right now that allowed for non monetary data storage and centralization.

2026-06-11 02:29:37 UTC

There is nothing “speculative” about bitcoin. This idea that it is risky is a form of thought control.
Every ten minutes there is a new block. You can store your value in that block or you can remain in the real speculative and fake paper.
The truth is: Fiat is the real speculation. It steals your time and energy, giving it to a literal cult that controls your behavior, information, thoughts and emotions. It forces you to use their fake system and bend to their manipulations of the supply to benefit those who control it.
There is nothing more speculative than relying on the fed, qe, qt, deferred assets or the infinite ways to print money at your expense.

The illusion you keep failing to see is that fiat is not a free market. Never was. Monero can’t be since its infinite supply is debasing holders via tail emission policy (just at a slow rate). You can literally see this happening in real time in the BTC/XMR all time charts.
A hard cap is the first mover advantage for bitcoin because by fixing it, there is no altering the SUPPLY. Satoshi did this deliberately as a response to fiat debasement that has occurred over and over again throughout history. A hard cap is more true to a free market than any system in history. End of story. It’s the equivalent of the discovery of zero but for economics.
If the money itself is not fixed, then the economy is at the mercy of central planners, dev teams (like the case for Zcash and alts) or predetermined inflation (as in the case of Monero). If you alter supply or let it grow indefinitely then you get the cantillion effect (those closest to the printer get money first before debasement). In modern fiat these people are primary dealers and central banks. In Monero they are miners lol
In bitcoin, there is No cantillion effect. Just true supply (21million) and demand (conviction in early adoption, then later the actual pricing of goods and services based on perceived value).
The “security” argument is non sequitur as well because, btc has the strongest decentralized node network. You’ll see this in action soon with bip110. Security is fortified with honest nodes and not miners. No inflation tax needed lol

In Monero the devs interfered with the free market beforehand … that’s literally central planning. in bitcoins case it is a free market and always was.

The greater risk is node client centralization and a weakened network of nodes due to inability to store massive amounts of data in bitcoin at the operators expense.
Yours is an appeal to fear. And it has never happened… ever.

Name one Bitcoin soft fork that produced a lasting chain split.

The irony here is that by bloating the chain with unnecessary data, node runners are the ones actually paying a “tax” at the cost of network security.

Decentralization is the only way to anchor history. If arbitrary data is stored on the blockchain it causes centralization.
The chain is gaining over 2gb of data a week (most non financial right now because of Core v30). At this rate, the only way to run a node would be to have a centralized company fit the bill to run it. Especially since SSD prices are skyrocketing.
It literally takes a week to download the blockchain and you need about 2TB of external storage to sustainably run a full time node on a laptop ( I know there are servers like start 9 but that’s missing the point of easy node access which is the heart and sole of decentralization)
This will increase exponentially if we have Bitcoin be used as data storage. Node runners would have to shutdown eventually. It’s completely unsustainable.

Decentralization enables preservation.

This debate is incredibly outdated and literally put to rest by Satoshi himself. This is a direct quote from him (included in the Book of Satoshi) which sparked when devs where trying to this exact same thing with domain names (much smaller embedded data sets btw).
There should be a separate chain, namecoin was a decent attempt, but perhaps we should take a different approach. If you run an actual node you would see exactly why using Bitcoin as a data storage chain doesn’t scale. It would be fully centralized at the node level and become worthless - just like ETH right now.

It is. As a node runner I don’t want to pay to store it on my computer. I run a node to secure the monetary network, not to store info that can be preserved elsewhere.
Satoshi himself said that this Doesn’t scale. Non financial data doesn’t belong on the chain. It threatens security long term.

Excellent article! It’s insane these spammers think they can upload their work on the blockchain and think it “will last forever”… it won’t. It will destroy the network. It’s a complete misunderstanding how the network operates at scale. It’s a zero sum game, and inherently selfish to do so.
Nothing lasts forever. That’s why Bitcoin must be lean, and focused on its only use case - as money - so it can scale and last as long as possible.

Node signaling precedes miner signaling. That’s how a UASF works by design. This isn’t a bug. It’s the mechanism.
SegWit took months to reach these numbers with full institutional support. BIP-110 got here on pure node sovereignty …

I just tried to zap you to prove this final point (but you don’t have a lightning wallet setup) which makes a lot of sense.
Layer 2 already solved this issue. This was the entire block size war debate over scalability. To handle thousands of TPS on the base layer, blocks would become so massive that only elite data centers could afford the storage, bandwidth, and computing power to validate the chain. This would erode node runners ability to secure the network.
Bitcoin solved this with lightning and then grew massively in adoption (there are over 800,000 square merchants now accepting bitcoin via lightning).
Bitcoin’s layer 2 is a huge part of nostr too. People have bought my album and books with it. I use it everyday. You should try using it!

You are literally measuring this 'salary' in a piece of paper rather than what real value is and what an actual free market represents: efficient energy transfer.
It makes sense why you buy into the Monero narrative. To you, privacy is the ultimate battleground, and you assume the primary issue with the world is centralized authority. While those concerns are valid, they are downstream effects.
The foundational issue with society is the corruption of the medium we use to store our life-force and value. Literally everything else is downstream from this. We are told we live in a free market, but we don't, because systemic inflation distorts every price signal. When we assume the issue is just the central authority and fight to hide from it, we paradoxically validate its power over us. The only real escape is to opt out of the broken thermodynamic system entirely.
Nothing accomplishes this better than Bitcoin. It is decentralized, globally secure, possesses an unassailable first-mover advantage, and is backed by verifiable time and energy. Most of all, it has an absolute, immutable supply cap.
Bitcoin's fixed supply is the economic equivalent of the discovery of zero (an absolute mathematical constant). For the first time in history, value can be measured in time and energy alone, completely decoupled from the whims of a central bank or the systemic leakage of a perpetual tail emission.

The denomination doesn’t “change”; the currency becomes worthless. Every single unbacked form of value in human history has ultimately faced obsolescence. From the clay tokens of Mesopotamia to the cowrie shells of ancient China, any medium of exchange whose supply can be easily expanded (whether by a central authority or changing trade dynamics) eventually inflates and gets abandoned for a harder, more reliable medium.
The dollar and Monero are no different. Once the fiat experiment runs its course and all 21 million Bitcoins are mined, the network will no longer rely on block subsidies. If Bitcoin remains decentralized and secure, it will sustain itself purely on transaction fees. The cost to transact will be determined by a free market bidding for block space, completely decoupled from the whims of an inflationary printing press.
This is because a real free market is actually deflationary.

Monero holders have to hold Bitcoin or they would lose all their value.
When you go all in on bitcoin you don’t need anything else.

How can tail emission (infinite supply) beat an a fiat currency with infinite supply?
You are assuming that we live in a free market, and that inflation will be need post fiat. That is a false assumption. By doing so Monero has made the exact same mistake as fiat money.
I’ve already explained this in detail and you ignored every single point in this thread.

Killer example here honestly. Strategy is a massive centralized risk. Especially because the coins are with coinbase and other exchanges and could easily be seized. By buying his productions you are trusting a third party, and hoping:
1- they don’t dilute their existing shareholders
2- they maintain the ability to service their heavy debt and dividend obligations without being forced to sell their Bitcoin reserves.
3- the "premium-to-NAV" (Net Asset Value) remains high enough to allow the company to keep raising cheap capital through equity sales.
4- the regulatory environment does not shift to exclude or restrict corporate Bitcoin treasuries, which could trigger large-scale forced selling from passive index funds.
5- their aggressive "leverage-on-leverage" strategy does not face a catastrophic feedback loop if Bitcoin’s price experiences a sustained, long-term downturn.
This all stems from the false assumption that Bitcoin is “digital credit”. It’s not. It’s money.
It’s really not that complicated but Saylors whole marketing scheme is based on this one false assumption.

You are assuming that by the end of bitcoins final block mined the world would still be plagued by inflation… thats just not reality. No fiat currency could last that long (2140 is 114 years away and the average lifespan of fiat is 27 years). USD is long overdue. It’s in the last decade at the most given the current geopolitical situation.
More importantly, “in a free market, the natural state is deflation” (that’s a quote from @nprofile…sf4t )
This points out the major flaw with Monero. By introducing a patch for inflation - you are assuming we are in a free market and copying the very mechanism of a fiat system. Using tail emission “security” is an excuse to debase on that false assumption.
If the network is valuable enough to be the world's settlement layer, it will be valuable enough to pay for its own security without debasing the holders.
That’s how a real free market functions. Based on time, energy and true scarcity. It’s a positive sum game where security increases as the network grows.

You're arguing that Bitcoin needs to subsidize security through inflation because you assume the fee market won't mature. But if fiat currencies are destined to fail (as history suggests), Bitcoin will be the settlement layer for the world's wealth. If the network is moving that level of value, the transaction fees will be more than sufficient to incentivize miners. Adding tail emissions to 'solve' a security problem that hasn't happened yet just creates the same debasement issue we are trying to escape. A system that can change its monetary policy to benefit miners at the expense of holders isn't sound money, it's just a more complex version of the central banking system we're trying to replace.
Tail emission is taxation.

There is nothing legit about tail emissions - infinite supply chain with the hope of adoption is worse than fiat money

An item being "one-of-a-kind" (scarce) does not inherently make it valuable if it lacks utility or liquidity. Bitcoin, however, possesses massive, global, and growing utility as a decentralized, censorship-resistant settlement network. Gold has maintained its status as a monetary metal precisely because its supply is difficult to inflate (it is relatively scarce but not finite). To compare Bitcoin to "constant inflation" gold is to ignore that Bitcoin’s stock-to-flow ratio is fundamentally different from gold’s and, more importantly, strictly programmatic and verifiable.
Also, there is a difference between coerced utility (the USD, which you are forced to use for taxes) and voluntary utility (Bitcoin). The "network effect" of Bitcoin isn't just about merchant count; it is about the security of the hash rate and the distribution of nodes. This is constantly improving as USD has fallen 97% and altcoins have all failed long term (hence why I posted the XMR/BTC chart - every single alt chart looks the same because of the first mover effect).
Sound Money is not solely about having a fixed supply; it is about having a supply that cannot be manipulated by central authorities or protocol. Tail emissions (as found in Monero) introduce a perpetual dilution of the supply, which (regardless of the technical rationale) is a deviation from the absolute scarcity that is a necessary prerequisite for a "hard" asset that can compete with the USD long-term. You can’t beat an infinitely printed asset backed with violence without the opposite approach - a finite and voluntary decentralized currency…

Seriously? You just goin to ignore the Samurai devs ? The wallet is still open source… so the privacy narrative is nonsense. BTCs public ledger is a feature and there are ways to make it private for those who want to… that’s why those devs are in jail and Monero is literally worthless shitcoinery the fed doesn’t even care about.
Plus Monero is a complete misunderstanding of economics and focus on security with zero fundamentals of sound money.
if a decentralized currency doesn’t have a fixed supply there is zero chance of surpassing Bitcoin due to the first mover and network effect advantage… tail emissions is leveraged bet that the Xmr network narrative will beat the first mover. That can’t happen unless Bitcoin changes its supply. Which can’t happen.
It’s like Monero devs set up a toll road for a highway that goes nowhere. Sure the toll is “secure or private” but no one is using road.
People actually store all their value in bitcoin, and use lightning (over 800,000 square merchant’s activated already) there are many circular economies, ways of using it privately and the supply will never change.
