What if I told you that the most radical political structure is to have decentralized power exercised by democratically elected representatives, and that most people really don't want to hear your loud fan noises while you suck the lifeblood out of their power grid for BRICS-BTC

"Pick the AI system you depend on most. Maybe your company ships it. Maybe your insurer relies on it. Maybe the agency you regulate operates it. A regulator walks in and asks: prove the operator did not change the log.
If the answer is "we trust them," the answer is no."

Congratulations on your great initiative! Very important work!

Bitcoin was designed so that even with massive blocks a user can verify that the network consensus has approved their transaction.
Proof of work can be verified with only headers. Transaction inclusion in the chain can be verified with a merkle path.
A full node can verify that all transactions are technically valid, but can only verify network consensus with headers and proof of work, the same as any user without a node. So a node can tell you if the network is accepting technically invalid transactions, but can't tell you any better than a user with just headers if the network has accepted your transaction.
If you aren't participating in consensus (which requires proof of work) then the value of running a node is negligible.
With a heavy use of tmux the coding agent controls MY terminal UI; creating and destroying windows and panes as needed for permissions and review. Enables collaborative use of a terminal.

Lightning has caused *absolutely unhinged* levels of bias -- to the degree that the whole LN industry has, alas, become a massive fraud on the scale of Theranos
In contrast, I tell the truth about Lightning -- always catch screeching vitriol as a result
Paul Sztorc (Truthcoin) is critiquing Bitcoin's Lightning Network (LN), arguing it's failing due to scalability limits, poor user experience, reliance on custodial solutions, and cultural issues in the community. He contrasts it with alternatives like his Drivechain proposal.
LN has seen growth, with over $1B in monthly volume in late 2025 per reports from River and Bitcoin Magazine, though challenges persist. Sztorc, as Drivechain's creator, advocates for his scaling method.

Nobody, and I repeat, absolutely nobody should ever upload their medical information into an AI platform.
I am telling you this as a former intelligence officer.

What money is, according to Rothbard (The Mystery of Banking, p. 256)
In this sense, Bitcoin is not (yet) money

epstein funded the creation of tether and the implementation of taproot.
both conveniently stopped bitcoin from doing the one thing it was built to do - replace the dollar
tether props up crypto with printed tokens backed by nothing. USDT & USDC defeated the purpose of sending bitcoin to one another as payment.
taproot killed on-chain scaling so btc could never threaten visa or the fed.
they didn’t kill bitcoin they neutered it and let you keep the t-shirt
the whitepaper says peer to peer electronic cash.
not digital gold. not store of value. not something you hold on coinbase and hope.
if btc was deliberately crippled from scaling then which fork actually kept the original vision alive.
BSV or BCH ?
one of them is the real bitcoin and the fact you’ve been trained to laugh at both should tell you everything you need to know.

What I find to be the most painful is the sort of radical politics surrounding the concept of a "community" of "full" node runners and its implications for monetary policy.
If capitalism and individualism are on the right (they are) then their bitcoin counterparts "community"1/2

A man invented a new type of automobile that could get 10,000 miles per 10 gallons of gasoline.
While working on it, he put a temporary gas tank in which could only hold one teaspoon of gas (so it didn't spill everywhere).
Before the project was finished, he had to leave unexpectedly. A group of new engineers took over and said they didn't like the original invention, so they decided to never increase the size of the gas tank.
The car's redesign, therefore, was never able to go more than a few miles without breaking down.
--
By not increasing the size of the gas tank (which was the obvious original intent and a necessary part of the breakthrough technology), they hijacked the invention and turned it into something else.
That's what happened to Bitcoin with the blocksize limit.
Bitcoin was based on game theory.
Full-nodists have ransacked the game theory due to the standard left-cypherpunk corporate hate.
Nowadays bitcoin is increasingly based on woke twitter politics.

Based on Satoshi's whitepaper focusing on peer-to-peer electronic cash with scalable on-chain transactions, BSV's unbounded block sizes align most closely by enabling massive throughput without limits. BCH improves on BTC's scaling but caps at 32MB, while BTC prioritizes security over everyday use. Opinions vary widely.
