@Luke Dashjr has saved Bitcoin several times, and some morons dare to criticize him. Since 2011, Luke has been an official BIP Editor. He volunteers to vet the proposals developers use to assess changes to #Bitcoin. In 2013, Luke was one of the first to detect a hard fork that could have split #Bitcoin in two. In 2017, Luke was one of the only #Bitcoin core contributors to support the UASF that eventually enacted SegWit. The UASF proved users, not businesses or miners, drive consensus on upgrades.

If you think Knots is not effective you don't understand shit about transaction propagation, mining and block building. The more people use it the more effective it will be, and if the time comes that miners create their own private mempools maybe it's time to do a fork.

How do you exercise your natural right before the state? In other words, how do you prevent someone from stealing from you without inflicting violence on the thief? At a certain point violence is necessary and inevitable.

I've been taking life too seriously lately and I see that in the end what's left of you is your sense of humor, I need to get back to being more of a laugher.

I see many people with expensive phones, expensive watches, expensive clothes, expensive cars or expensive houses and instead eat macaroni every day. First eat well, whatever you have left over use it to save or buy whatever you want, but eat well because you are what you eat and eating well is not cheap.

I am amused by the so-called Bitcoiners that when they see that they can't change Bitcoin or change it as fast as they want they get angry and start supporting Monero. This is the last time I help a project financially without being in it myself, it's hard to predict the mental instability of people. Bitcoin is what it is, you can't mold it to your liking, get that into your head, you have to work with what is there, if you don't like it you better go to the shitcoin world.

Conversation with my bank. Me: I have to withdraw “x” money to buy “x” thing and I can't because you have a lower and lower limit on transfers. Bank: We can increase the limit but don't you think it is convenient to borrow money to buy “x” so you don't decapitalize yourself? Me: I don't see it convenient to apply for a loan if I have the money, I see it as stupid, I just want to be able to withdraw my money. Bank: Are you sure, sir? Me: Of course, capitalism, savings and hard work. Bank: We will have to ask the branch manager to extend the limit. Me: Then I want to cancel my account. Bank: Okay sir, let me see what I can do, you already have the extended limit. I think using lightning is easier.

When I read some moron say that Lightning has failed there are only two options: - is retarded - works for the CIA
