Bitcoin only endures when its community follows the mantra “Slay your hero”. If the bitcoin social layers bows to the authoritarian technocrats bitcoin has failed. Think for yourself and unfollow corrupted people. We already have lost many once leading people on the path and more may fall in the future.
A zap is a microtransaction and somewhat a better appreciation than a like. As @Knut Svanholm ∞/21M still denies the usefulness of microtransactions he should consequently not have a zapping address on his nostr profile. 😉
What will be next major version number of Bitcoin Knots? 30 seems to be a tainted number now. From now on only minor numbers? That would also reflect the ossification process.
Taproot may well turn out to have been the last soft‑fork on Bitcoin. The way the core developers handled the release of version 30 — and that was not even a consensus change — could effectively have closed forever the window on future soft‑fork proposals.
These books printed by Amazon with large margin and fine print font size are a disgrace and basically wastepaper. It is a shame that such books are also sold outside of the Amazon website.
Bitcoin as a whole is larger than the ego of any of its developer. Long forgotten are Gavin Andresen, Mike Hearn etc. So will be the current ones that still resist to listen to the community and still doubling done with their narrow-minded technical arguments not seeing the social economic dimension of Bitcoin.
