For me jumping spam coin was obvious. Few hours after BIP-110 activation I knew we have to do the Hardfork and move on with the chain. It was like “in case of emergency break the glass” protocol. It was always in our playbook. It was chess move that was precalculated. We have always said that the network does not belong to miners so if they rebel - we just change PoW. It’s of course drastic measure, but what was left? Most of people has not jumped to XBT, because they don’t understand on a deeper level how Bitcoin works or are afraid / they got brainwashed by “it’s BCH / BSV fork like” propaganda. Most of them have not put enough PoW. They are following the crowd, looking for social acceptance and you do not get any in XBT. You get the opposite, we are being shit on 24/7. You have to like being shit on to some extent. People don’t like being shit on and getting weird looks at them. I love to being shit on by the masses, I wear it as a badge of honor, proof of quality. To me these are valuable signals. I sometimes make decisions purely on this signal. Most people in fiat world are dumb, so naturally I’m looking for opposite for what they are craving. It’s inner compass. On top of that - You have to spend time with Bitcoin to understand it, not just to peek on prize chart few times a day and retweet Michael Saylor posts. Even after I have spent thousand of hours researching Bitcoin I still had to process carefully everything that happened, it needed time, it required fair share of staring at the ceiling in the bed and only recently I finnaly had couple of “aha” moments in example regarding how some aspects of UASF and URSF signaling works so I can comfortably talk about it. Not just “feel” how it should work. How many people can afford to do it? How many people can spend few hours a day to listen and understand Bitcoin? Not many. Of course there is another part - simpfluencers. Some of them got paid or simply were on Saylor’s yacht or infamous islands, now unable to criticize their hosts. They either can’t or don’t want like @knutsvanholm (such a shame) to jump fiat ship for a way smaller boat with lower amounts of liquidity and dopamine I guess. Their life depend on views, clicks and affiliate links. We are just extremely bad audience for selling Ledgers, Bitcoin backed loans and treasury companies stocks. It’s hard to squeeze water from the stone they say. We are immune to bullshit most influencers make many off from. And some of the businesses like BTC Session relies on it. That’s why it’s laughabale to me when people are saying that @mattkratter is farming engagement. He has sunk his channel to the burning fuckin ground and I have seen him doning it live. I knew it is coming when I saw his comment section screeching in 2025 “come back to the good ole content, stop yapping about knots”. He was answering such comments “sorry, this is important, I have to talk about it. We will return to the classic episodes once it’s resolved”. Fuckin legend! He is making thankless job. He can afford it because he has stacked enough wealth over years, has grown children. He thinks about his legacy and not about chasing clout and quick buck. On the other side of this spectrum are young “appeal / resonate to millenials” influencers like Forresthodl or Jora, (Ptooey!) Seyer. They are on a payroll and are like most millenials - “broke”. At the end this is very nuianced topic and I believe a lot of people will come over / wake up once they start introducing more harmful “features” like demurrage and tail emission to BTC. We have to educate others and preferably “make” and raise Bitcoiners ourselves. That’s the best way to make nodes number go up. I have one 1,5 years old, planning next. How about you?
