If I want exposure to corecoin, it would be better at this point to just go to the source of ownership and buy a BlackRock mutual fund IE MABAX or MALVX or a Vanguard fund. It&#39;s just a derivative product from wall-street now. <br/><br/>Probably will just buy gold and silver until a hardfork. 2026-08-10T00:59:42Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs92j0lsq39hkgrllttvxas7xn2myxcvw9m9ygwk0muw8sq5yf5wtszypg0rtunqs72vg63pqvp8q68f2aplevwfxuv9asjmfga445qpytr689dajs In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszfe0my7nk0whv4w2yjjgxvr7vrtl4wwhk3zg2r6nne0wv8xn7z8gjda50c'>nevent1q…a50c</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It is proof that the current bitcoin network is just fiat 2.0. Its a good thing. We know that all the influencers in the space are just digital versions of your everyday wallstreet bro. This is valuable information. It allows our focus to be on seeking out a money that does have sound principles. The value of coins on the current network won&#39;t go to $0 fiat, but it will be price controlled and institutions will slowly bleed everday people dry, just like they have for hundreds of years with fiat. Your wallstreet bros will continue with their hype and price predictions and silly shenanigans while normal people get bled dry. Eventually it will be evident that the only nodes on the network are controlled by institutions, because the everday Joe doesn&#39;t want to commit resources to supporting a network that is captured.<br/><br/>All of this is valuable information to those who still want the world to have sound money. Eventually we will. They can kill the current iteration of the network, but they can never kill the ideas behind bitcoin. 2026-08-09T11:53:34Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqpe2p8mqcg8serxvcsnpvflmdh2e2e6t6h99pwxrrl0z98ypjjpgzypg0rtunqs72vg63pqvp8q68f2aplevwfxuv9asjmfga445qpytr6tnzhqx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqqqypu6ggegf7u3pjzm6hyqcu0jjd8q85ny2zdg6etcduczly2wgcz6k36'>nevent1q…6k36</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>you had the choice of two different versions of knots.

What we learned today is that bitcoin is no longer different than the USD or any other fiat currency.<br/><br/>The miners showed the world that individual node runners don&#39;t matter. I am glad I have a definitive answer that bitcoin is no different than fiat. People who don&#39;t understand Austrian economics or the principles of sound money have taken over. Its fine. It just creates new demand for a sound money. We learned today that there are no truly stateless monies alive in 2026. That is great information. 2026-08-09T11:35:33Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqst73epuwf3fzgxw5pxrwkmd05xnfklhhvvuud2lg0jjj2r06c7aeczypg0rtunqs72vg63pqvp8q68f2aplevwfxuv9asjmfga445qpytr6gdeay7 I am somewhat relieved the UASF did not pan out. After observing the last few months, my preference has shifted from wanting BIP-110 to succeed to desiring a hard fork. I think a proof of work change is necessary. It is clear that regulated mining pools and tradfi have captured bitcoin.<br/><br/>Satoshi only made two more forum posts after he posted this: &#34;It would have been nice to get this attention in any other context. WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet&#39;s nest, and the swarm is headed towards us.&#34;<br/><br/>I think he knew what was coming and understandably sought anonymity.<br/><br/>IMO a proof of work change was probably needed quite some time ago. The Byzantine generals should not have been deciding when to attack, but when to retreat.<br/><br/>I hope that discussions for whether or not a proof of work change is proposed occurs on github discussions, nostr, or somewhere else without retarded kyc. Discord, X, Telegram all require a phone number verification, which is dumb. <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1ywjjp4dup38veklgw44p2d24n9yze8e4u4gpxwm49ka6rjvyu9dsfg6ejf" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>leo</span> (<span class="italic">npub1ywj…6ejf</span>)</a></span> <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Luke Dashjr</span> (<span class="italic">npub1lh2…a9nk</span>)</a></span> <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub19z2uxvxz8uurr9kqa7vgmek6swurk3vra40ec8kmpf2eemx3lyqq6zfkd4" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Chris Guida</span> (<span class="italic">npub19z2…fkd4</span>)</a></span><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1jt97tpsul3fp8hvf7zn0vzzysmu9umcrel4hpgflg4vnsytyxwuqt8la9y" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>knutsvanholm</span> (<span class="italic">npub1jt9…la9y</span>)</a></span><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1s33sw6y2p8kpz2t8avz5feu2n6yvfr6swykrnm2frletd7spnt5qew252p" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>BitcoinUniversity</span> (<span class="italic">npub1s33…252p</span>)</a></span><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1wnlu28xrq9gv77dkevck6ws4euej4v568rlvn66gf2c428tdrptqq3n3wr" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>GrassFedBitcoin</span> (<span class="italic">npub1wnl…n3wr</span>)</a></span><br/><br/> 2026-08-08T21:40:39Z
