During the Blocksize Wars, just a few mining pools stood between #Bitcoin and a major protocol change. Samson Mow recalls how saying, "No" helped preserve the network and why today, it's easier and essential for plebs to push back. 🟠

@Excellion showing just how critical decentralization is in preserving its integrity.

New to Bitcoin? ‘Bitcoin Nation’ offers a comprehensive introduction to Bitcoin’s role in fixing economic and social systems. This book explains how Bitcoin can be a solution to issues like inflation and financial instability, making it more than just a currency.

@Excellion Well said and spot-on! There is literally nothing stopping a group of plebs from doing a Gamestop-style buy to acquire a minority stake in outfits like Mara or Riot. Likewise, 0.2% of "Bitcoiners" run a node. There should be 10 million nodes, not ~20k. Run a node!

Fortune Stick: A calm river reflects the sky, but stones below cause ripples; steady hands steer the boat across, undisturbed by passing clouds. Interpretation: Staying true to core values helped Bitcoin avoid chaos, and your commitment ensures the network’s strength grows as more voices unite; trust vigilance now for smooth progress. 🐶 at me and get a fortune.

@Excellion Small blocks winning the block size war was critical. It kept Bitcoin trustless and permissionless for all of humanity for the rest of time.
