I grew up on an internet where Anonymous was challenging governments, hacktivists were exposing corruption, and cypherpunks were writing code to undermine centralized power. Now I watch Bitcoiners celebrate getting invited into the institutions those people wanted to make obsolete. It’s surreal. We went from “information wants to be free” to paid newsletters. From challenging surveillance to accepting it as the price of compliance. From fuck-you money to “look how many billionaires own Bitcoin.” From questioning the monetary system to cheering for dollar stablecoins and Wall Street adoption. And apparently, if you still care about the political and philosophical principles behind this technology, you’re being divisive. I remember when being divisive toward concentrated power was the entire point. The early internet wasn’t perfect. Neither were the hacktivists. But at least they understood something we’ve almost forgotten: The goal wasn’t to become powerful enough to sit beside the people controlling the system. The goal was to build a world where nobody had that kind of power over you. We didn’t lose the technology. We lost the audacity.

How do I know XBT is the real Bitcoin? Easy: just look at core Bitcoiners. They look frozen in time. They keep talking about the same BS (El Salvador, Tether, Bitcoin going to $1 million, adoption, fiat collapse...)

Stop comparing Bitcoin (XBT) to Cash (BCH) and Craig Coin (BSV). You’re missing the history and the principles. We opposed Cash in 2017 because larger blocks require more resources to run a full node, threatening decentralization. We oppose Spamcoin (BTC) today on the same principle. Allowing arbitrary data to consume blockchain space increases the burden on node runners. The irony? Spamcoin has more in common with Cash than Bitcoin. Both have accepted compromises we know undermine Bitcoin’s original purpose. Before the algorithm change, SHA-256 hashrate signaling support for BIP-110 was already theoretically sufficient to launch a 51% attack against Cash and Craig Coin combined. If you still can’t see why this is different, I’ll borrow Satoshi’s words: “If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry.” #Bitcoin #XBT #BIP110

I don't want to disrespect any monetary maxi plebs (aka XBT plebs) but if they are not PREPARED to see ZERO gain (in fiat toilet paper denominated terms) for AT LEAST A DECADE then they should not OWN/HODL any XBT (aka bitcoin). Zionists/Epstein apologists/State entities/CONbase/spamcoin simpfluencers will do everything possible to make sure bitcoin doesn't overtake spamcoin in market cap.
For sure. And Coinbase and others have >3 million XBT they could gradually dump to keep price running in place for years and years..

Fake-multisig spam that filled ~75% of BLAKE2b block space in mid-October has nearly vanished. - Peak ~45 MB/day (Oct 13); - 0.03–0.3 MB/day since Nov 3, below pre-wave baseline. Knots 29.4.3 (Oct 28) shipped the coinbase-maturity soft fork alongside a policy rule targeting fake-multisig. The decline began Oct 25, before the release as pools upgraded ahead of activation.

Grok is incorrect here. SHA-256 cartel ignored UASF node runners (when there was zero URSF) and widened the rules (wider rules= hard fork), forking themselves off the network and creating Spamcoin on August 8. Mining on Bitcoin came to a screeching halt, which is why we had to change proof of work to Blake2B. Spamcoin is not Bitcoin, even though Elon's AI wants you to think it is.

CALLING ALL XBT BITCOINERS!!! Guy, if we are going to be serious about spam, we also need to be serious about LN. LN scales XBT, LN is far more private, LN reduces chain size, LN is faster. So we all need to run at least 2-3 channels. Just like we did with DATUM, we need to make a point of driving LN adoption early. We need to pressure exchanges to accept LN and even maybe turn of on chain funding/withdrawals. We need to make it clear from the start: on chain only to open and close channels. Please all consider this seriously.

Majority, majority, majority! The majority still uses fiat. By Spamcoin folks' logic, we should all stick with it. We’re here to separate money from the state, even when the majority disagrees. Bitcoin was never about following the majority. #XBT is #Bitcoin

I'm beginning to think at some point we might need to add privacy by default on L1 to be closer to money. Privacy on L2s is not enough. Is not only that we need Privacy for transacting... There shouldn't exist any "rich lists" aswell. Privacy just makes it 10 times more useful for the people, a public ledger is for other type of public IMO. Privacy on L1 also creates a regulatory pressure in centralized KYC exchanges and that deter them from listing us which is a good thing. If we can guarantee somehow no inflation bugs and and relatively low bloat.. We already offer 99% DATUM and long term commitment from miners. That alone gives a much better value proposition than monero, we just neee the privacy feature with as little tradeoffs as possible.

Gonna be long, hope you actually read it. I will assume you agree that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but spiritual forces in the heavenlies. There are spiritual forces directing this present darkness, just as when Paul wrote these words regarding his time. There were also spiritual forces directing the light, when freedom broke through in earnest with the opening of America culminating in a war that changed the world in 1776. Those men, who fought that good fight, had God on their side, and he was prompting and providing, and the victory belonged to Him, and nobody else. I praise, and owe my forefathers everything, for their courage, skill, strength and heart to never give up. But they were moved by God, not of themselves. Biblically every victory is God's. That is not happening right now, not yet anyway. There is no heavenly resistance to the wholesale swath of evil pervadence on earth. Clearly there isn't. God doesn't lose, so the growing defeat is authorized by him, for now anyway. In this battle for Western Civilization, which combined with Christianity is, historically, the only light that has truly shown, I am fighting. I am doing all I can. I have beat back the evil of this culture every single day in my home. I've homeschooled my 17 and 19 year old from Kindergarten. I've been obedient to God to the point of having two aliens-with-broken-yet-strong-hearts in my family who are unrecognizable to their peers, but if you shook my son's hand you would recognize my God given work in a moment. If you had a conversation with my daughter, you would want your son to marry her. We're working diligently to put them both into a solid Christian College that hasn't bent the knee to the cultural evil rot. I want to promote early marriage and I want to promote, finance and facilitate many grandchildren. Beyond that (no I'm not running for office - I am spiritually gifted and suited more appropriately for other things - ) Notwithstanding - I am ready and willing to give my life in the service of God and country should I see God's hand, indeed his Spirit, leading. Show me the movement. Where is it!? Where is his man? The leadership? Where is Benjamin Franklin? Where is Thomas Jefferson? Where is Andrew Jackson? We have nobody. There isn't a single good man with power and means to lead us, that has God's Spirit firing up inside of him, bringing him to the forefront today. Where is he? Trump? Lol. I supported him completely, and turns out he's too old and too scared to do the hard work. He couldn't cross a street, let alone the Rubicon. And when I read the bible, and I mean the whole bible, not just the new testament, I see a character of God, and His overarching plan for humanity. And it is very clear, a time is coming, I think we might be close, where he pulls his protection back, and evil flourishes. He does not authorize the good to fight, and He allows evil for judgement. So when I say in God's strength not our own, I mean when God's behind it, like David against Goliath, in faith, with faith, we fight, and we win. And when God is not behind it, we will only trip over our own feet, and we will lose over and over again.

The Globalists are winning. Because Satan is their leader. It was written. Anyone who has really read the Bible knows all this. Yet here we are wringing our hands trying to make water run uphill. God told us exactly what is happening, and why it would happen. Yet, we keep striving, in our own strength, to stop it. We can't, nor should we necessarily want to try. I'm more guilty than anyone. I'm obsessed with Bitcoin & America. But this is God's judgement, to allow evil to thrive for a season, to punish a wicked generation, and to drive those who love Him to trust only in Him. Not country, not money, not even your own strength or health, but Him alone. Look He's coming back, the exiled warrior King, and he's going to give you all the kinetic satisfaction you desire. Jesus comes with a sword and He will fight and He will win! The man who trusts the LORD shall not be afraid of evil news, his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. His heart is upheld, he shall not be afraid. Until he looks upon his enemies with satisfaction. Psalm 112.🔽

Young chains share this risk: hash shows up, difficulty jumps, hash leaves, blocks crawl. ECX is SHA-256, so all of bitcoin's hash can hop on and off it. XBT is BLAKE2b, with its own miners. 152 blocks in the last 24 hours. xbt.live
The eCash project’s ECX coin has now become a failed chain on the blockchain, as the chain has been hit by a hash rate attack. PoW.re miners have taken control of 99% of the total coin supply and 99% of the network’s hash rate, causing the current hash rate and network difficulty to be completely mismatched in block mining. At present, only six blocks have been mined in seven hours! #ecash #ecx

Running an XBT Knots node? cesspool.lol/check shows if your spam filters are on. Its recommended settings beat the Umbrel and StartOS defaults: datacarriersize 42, datacarriercost 2, bytespersigopstrict 51. Lightning nodes: use its Lightning file.

Ask not what Bitcoin can do for you,🫵ask what you can do for Bitcoin! 👉Run your own node 👉Set stringent spam filters 👉Mine/rent hashrate and point it at your DATUM Gateway 👉Test new software (Lightning, wallets, etc.) 👉Use XBT as a medium of exchange
