@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr Hey! She actually interviewed a Bitcoiner on her Bitcoin show. Cool!

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr Kudos to Brunell for inviting real Bitcoiners to the show.

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr Your bias was leaking through in your questions, but otherwise a good interview. I appreciate your willingness to navigate towards the heart of the debate rather than skirt around it.

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr Matthew is clearly a very intelligent and principled man and that's why scammers don't like him.

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr This is elder abuse

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr Never imagined Kratter would be on the Natalie Brunel show 👀

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr Listening to this interview gives me secondhand embarrassment for Kratter. He’s a latecomer to Bitcoin who has mistaken reading about its history for firsthand understanding, and it shows in his distorted account of what actually happened.

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr What a waste of time. I won’t even watch , nor waste my time. Kratter is mentally compromised.

Whoa..I am so, so, so happy Natalie you had on Matt and I am looking forward to listening. Even hearing how Jeff Booth (supposedly) debated Saylor over a 3 hour dinner. I know you are friends with both of them. BIP-110/Core is a huge issue in Bitcoin and is not going away regardless of what happens. A good journalist like you does take on both sides. (Tangent I side with you on Dr. Jack and not airing that podcast. He is too firebrand and weird for me - even a lot of his medical takes are whackycrackers.) Matt is a way better person to have on your show. Also, thanks for getting people's names right. It matters to most listeners. Guests are one thing (going on KAH-Newt and mispronouncing his name the entire time) to a recent podcaster mispronouncing Hodlonaut (it's HOD-low-Naut BTW) the entire time.

I love your stuff and will try to listen to this, but Matt is just so overly dramatic and emotional driven to hate Saylor and Mstr, that he can’t think rationally. He said STRC was in a death spiral a couple weeks ago and now it’s $95 with two years of cash dividends and $50B in bitcoin waiting in the wings.

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr embarassing

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr Props to Natalie for hosting Kratter.

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr Props to you for having him on @natbrunell ! Good show.

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr Kratter is the GOAT. Thank God we have him.

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr This was good. Natalie had obviously prepared by reading the anti-BIP talking points and @mattkratter debunked them all. I disagree with her view that the BIP110 movement has been abusive. Most the the abuse and personal attacks I've seen is coming from the core side.

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr Kratter is the best of us and really did excellent here. Very hard to argue with his logic if you genuinely care about the bitcoin network beyond simply how you can profit from it. Kudos for having him on.

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr Great interview, Natalie. Thank you! 🙏

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr Nice!

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr Hey Natalie - I respect you for having this conversation. Thank you 👍

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr Cannot Natalie see the difference between the consistency and deepness of Matt Kratter and the hubris and shallowness of Michael Saylor? You cannot trust your life saving to a network that is centralized. I will sell my Core Bitcoin and buy BIP-110 Bitcoin.

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr 🤣

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr Props to you for giving a platform to the mentally ill

It’s a little late for this conversation. The real questions the bip110 leadership team needs to be asked are: • What’s the new ticker?
• Which exchanges have actually committed to support it?
• How do you stop the obvious attack vectors?
• What’s the real timeline?
• Who’s on the new dev team and who’s in charge long-term?
• Will Luke (and whoever else) actually control the code?
• What’s the value prop that isn’t just “we forked Bitcoin”? Everything else is noise until those get clear answers.

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr Nice dig on “Mean B110 supporters” they’re so mean. The core solids is so nice by implication.😂🤣🤡 Interesting how you slid in with Saylor.

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr Haven't listened yet but credit to you @natbrunell for giving this the air time it deserves.

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr The guy who had a close personal friendship with Peter Thiel wants you to know that the other guys are the deep staters and he’s the good guy with your best interests at heart.

Hi @natbrunell, this is the episode we have been waiting for. Well done! Based on your own origin story, I have never understood why you have not been more supportive of BIP-110 and so cozy with the other side. Hope that you have realized that most of the good people are on the BIP-110 side - whether it succeeds or not.

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr

did you ever interview someone from the ordinals side btw?

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr Matt is a hero! Thanks for having him. 💪

@mattkratter @ocean_mining @LukeDashjr I haven’t been keeping up on bip110 lately. Is it just Luke vs everyone?
