“Even Saylor has come out against 110 and he wrote a long article…” I’m sorry, Samson Mow, but I can’t keep following people making these type of appeals to suit authority in Bitcoin, at a time where decentralization is more precariously threatened than ever. I don’t recognize you and your sentiments anymore. Be well.

This is what they are resorting to… Meanwhile, BIP-110 moves towards activation, unaffected.

April 2025, the run-up to the merge of the OP_RETURN uncap. This is Bitcoin Magazine's coverage of the maintainer who six weeks later would merge the uncap. It closed with the interviewer (Shinobi) offering an apology, on behalf of the community, for the criticism Bitcoin Core was receiving. He framed the critics as "retards", consistent with the framing used by Core in the weeks and months that followed: critics were "garbage", "trolls", "parasites", "brigaders", "conspiracy theorists" etc. What is this type of journalism called?

Watch how institutional power is not merely normalized, but openly celebrated in Bitcoin's social layer. Wealth, status, access, and proximity to power are elevated, while Bitcoin's founding principles, including sovereignty and the separation of money and state, are ridiculed. The values of the fiat system Bitcoin was created to challenge are being repackaged as Bitcoin's path to success. On November 5, Mars Spits Bars takes this worldview to BTC Inc's Bitcoin Amsterdam, on a Whale Pass-only panel titled: “BIG BITCOIN: IN CONTROL?” The CAPTURE articles documents the institutional relationships and mechanisms of influence. Bitcoin's social layer is the final line of defense against complete institutional capture. But if that very social layer is being conditioned to celebrate institutional power, ridicule principled opposition, and attack those exposing its concentration, who exactly is left to resist it?

The bug was seemingly written by Coinkite's Co-founder and CTO, Peter Gray DocHex Well after the attack was in full swing, he first reposted nunchuck, where it became clear that Mk4, Mk5 and Q were also affected, and that Coinkite had confirmed it. Then, AFTER this, he reposts Tomer Strolight, saying it is not yet confirmed that MK4 entropy is breached.

NVK on Citadel Dispatch, June 2022. Topic was how the US government could kill Bitcoin. “You just make a bunch of bad, very bad decisions. You make the software awful, there is no documentation, and then you just add all the bugs that you can exploit later.” More than a year earlier, his own firmware shipped an undocumented bad decision (the RNG rewrite) with a bug that would be exploited four years later.

I can only imagine how hard the Italian woman in blue worked to get herself to the Olympic Games. Once there, she had to fight against a man. He mauled her, and she had to abandon the fight. Crying, her hopes and dreams crushed, the man comes over and pats her shoulder.

From yesterday’s Strategy live investor Q&A where Natalie Brunell ⚡️ posed questions from investors to Michael Saylor and Phong Le. First question was a simple one: “What is SR-strcUSX, which you describe in that visual as digital money? And do you disagree that Bitcoin is money?” This led Saylor out on a more than 8 MINUTE LONG word salad rant. Here’s just a select few gems from his corporate word spagetti. At the end it was more unclear than ever if Saylor thinks Bitcoin is money and what kind of fiat abomination SR-strcUSX is. 🤷‍♂️

I am so happy to hear that Jeff Booth ⚡️ has read the CAPTURE articles. And that he found that what it reveals matches exactly what he would expect if a centralized group performed a social attack on Bitcoin. Never forget that Adam Back is crusading X trying to prevent people from reading and informing themselves on the state of Bitcoin Core.

I am one of these stupid Cat/Racoon/Frog/Dinosaur pictures on Twitter, that Tone keeps shitting on. One of the "Knots Ideological crazies". I was also one of the many plebs who very vocally warned about Craig Wright and BSV back in 2018/2019, and I was unlucky enough to get targeted and take the full brunt of lawfare and harassment over a five year period for speaking the obvious truth out loud. What was Tone doing? He was doing fluff interviews and posing for selfies with Craig, like it was all a fun and relative little joke. This is how principles, or lack of them, translates into words and actions. And it explains why Tone is defending Core's philosophical pivot, while harshly trying to discredit and ridicule BIP-100 and Bitcoin Plebs. Principles seem to be a foreign concept to him. Take that into account before you listen to any advice he gives.

Samson, last fall you told two podcasts (clips attached) that Core had - "a lot of structural problems with the organization itself" - developers with "ulterior motives" doing "conflicted" things - a "laundry list": "backstabbing, internal politics, brigading, canceling people." You also said: "you'll get it eventually. I think it'll come to light." You knew about the issues, but waited for someone else to do the work. I did the work documenting this. Three articles (so far). IRS filings, SEC exhibits, PRs, IRC logs, archives, right of reply. The very structural and governance-related problems, documented line by line. My articles assert none of the motives you asserted. You went further on those podcasts than my articles ever go. And now that this all has come to light, meticulously sourced and documented, your response is: "some individuals doing questionable things," a little "cliques and groupthink", and a retweet of Adam calling the process "uniquely robust to special interest lobbies." This is the exact opposite of your own diagnosis on those podcasts. It's very strange to describe and predict that serious and very problematic dirty laundry will air, then call it a non-issue and join Adam's handwaving and misdirection when someone airs it.

Shit like this is just wild to me: Jimmy Song: "But isn't spam also harmful?" Murch (Prominent Core contributor): "Not really, no." How widespread is this view on spam in Bitcoin Core?
