Love it. Well said. View quoted note →

I'm firmly behind the Ocean Mining perspective on this issue. Seems logical and practical. They're being attacked by many for their opinion. View quoted note →

Nice clip. The "paying for empty blocks" point is a good counter to the "blocks are a free market and anything goes" argument. Obviously the network has a purpose and it's a problem when that starts to get compromised by always selling to the highest bidder.

Excellent discussion. Perfect money has only one use case: being money. Any additional use case(s) merely weakens the token as money. Ordinals are a bug that can potentially derail bitcoin, so we must take this very seriously. I was orange-pilled in 2020. I salute those who fought the block size war before I even heard of Bitcoin. It’s our turn now to protect bitcoin for those yet to find it.

This was an excellent rip as always; however, this guest has me seriously concerned that Bitcoiners will kill the golden goose. Pls stop screwing around with our shot at superior money. Forget privacy enhancements or making it faster. We already have that in Lightning & Liquid. Correcting this bug seems very important to me.

I listened to the whole show a few days ago but I don’t remember if @preston asked is it possible for governments to make Ocean force oblige or shut down. He also joined Simply BTC with @NICO⚡️ and opti where he somewhat answered that question but it was more like an we’ll see when we get there kind of answer.
