Astounding admissions from .: * Only trusted people should be listened to regarding BIPs. * We should reject reasonable proposals from people we distrust. * We should allow people we distrust to block BIPs by supporting them. * Politics trumps rationality.

@GrassFedBitcoin Who is going to tell him that OP_CAT was: - invented by Satoshi - proposed by Andrew Poelstra - authored by Ethan Heilman & Armin - supported by Adam Back/Samson Mow Good thing that Udi & I get to choose that it’ll be CTV+CSFS instead

@GrassFedBitcoin Good point and I tend to agree w/ @GrassFedBitcoin. We should be KYCing all Core Contributors, require some kind of counsel or review process in order to participate in the discussion, and get rid of meritocratic culture for an morality-based one.

@GrassFedBitcoin

@GrassFedBitcoin I can see the reasoning behind his words. ESPECIALLY as it became obviois people like yourself and @peterktodd are practically in corporate pockets with attached paychecks. A farcry of neutralith and objectivity in regards to Bitcoin.

@GrassFedBitcoin Thanks for promoting this - I haven’t seen this specific clip yet but I could not agree more with his words, as usual.

@GrassFedBitcoin As always, excellent commentary from mechanic.

@GrassFedBitcoin Trusted people is a very vague term.

@GrassFedBitcoin I trust you, Jonas 🫂

@GrassFedBitcoin I’ll add ‘never listen to shitcoiners’

@GrassFedBitcoin Man, you fell off so hard man. Respectfully.

@GrassFedBitcoin

@GrassFedBitcoin The point here is. People are losing/lost trust in "you" loop You wont be getting it back.

@GrassFedBitcoin I don't want people to trust me, I want them to use their brains to come to their own conclusions about issues.

@GrassFedBitcoin They have. And now they can verify that you're not to be trusted

@lopp @GrassFedBitcoin No, they trust retards like mechanic who play on their emotions and can’t even begin to provide a modicum of technical support for their ideas and objections.

@lopp @GrassFedBitcoin That was an emotional response.. If you've been here and still don't understand pro filters - that your own lack in comprehension.

@lopp @GrassFedBitcoin Only retards or bad actors are pro filters. Only someone who doesn’t understand bitcoin or wants to destroy it supports fractured mempools that incentivize miner centralization.

@lopp @GrassFedBitcoin Only retards or bad actors are anti filters. Only someone who doesn't understand bitcoin or wants to destroy it by enable unfettered spam thinks miners are what makes bitcoin decentralised

@GrassFedBitcoin Roger Ver 2.0

@GrassFedBitcoin The arguments from him and other filter supporters have been very bad. This really hasn't been much of a debate at all, and it appears to already be over.

@GrassFedBitcoin They realized their arguments are weak when judged upon technical merit and thus they have resorted to social / rhetorical defenses.

@kyletorpey @GrassFedBitcoin Ok but to be fair, this is exactly the reasoning deployed against S2X "Yeah yeah the idea might have been fine, but we had to show the big bad companies who's boss!"

@lopp @GrassFedBitcoin Not exactly. The problem with SegWit2x was it came off as a decree rather than a proposal. Mechanic is saying ideas should be rejected even if they're just proposals.

@GrassFedBitcoin Jameson, why did you change your mind on BitcoinXT? What was it specifically that made you sour on that project?

@GrassFedBitcoin Ye I would never trust a man who wears slippers

@GrassFedBitcoin You obviously feel VERY SEEN

@GrassFedBitcoin Fuuuck me

@GrassFedBitcoin Trust and motives matter Lopp.eth. People see through your motives and don't trust you anymore. You're a shitcoiner attacker posing as a bitcoiner. The wiztards are shitcoin attackers.

@GrassFedBitcoin Omg Jimmy Lopps pleaseeeee start advocating for BIPs that actually help bitcoin to trick us into fighting them. You're so smart that'll definitely work we'll be so embarrassed.

@GrassFedBitcoin Reading the comments in this thread, is like.... Do you guys even listen to yourselves. Reading these posts can cost one IQ points. I have never been more worried about the future of Bitcoin development.

@GrassFedBitcoin I don't crave to be the main character, it just happens naturally because I do things without giving a fuck what people may think. 😇

@rot13maxi @GrassFedBitcoin Scary.

@GrassFedBitcoin Not very cypherpunk of them... They should take a hint from the 3d printed gun community. Commies, libertarians, etc. making the best guns.

@GrassFedBitcoin Ultimately nodes decide

@GrassFedBitcoin silence scamming shitcoiner!!

@GrassFedBitcoin Centralized authority is ultimately what they want. Only changes of people we trust, people we like, and people that say yes to our vision. Complete decentralization maxis I see…

@GrassFedBitcoin This dude is, unironically, a terrible infiltrated actor to push divide and conquer narratives

@GrassFedBitcoin Trusted by whom? The US government, bankers, the majority of voting nodes?

@GrassFedBitcoin lol he just told people how to easily psyop him

@GrassFedBitcoin “we”

@GrassFedBitcoin Never listen to a shitcoiner like Lopp

@GrassFedBitcoin The true spirit of Satoshi

@GrassFedBitcoin Reminds me of this:

@GrassFedBitcoin First censoring the blockchain….now BIP proposals….not very decentralized of him. Think this dude is in the wrong industry.

@GrassFedBitcoin wait - it was just a joke… @GrassFedBitcoin @saifedean @adam3us

@GrassFedBitcoin That is the activist mind set. I hate it so much. Makes you feel so superior that you discount truth in favor of alignment with your in-group.
