gm, believing that you must act, or else Bitcoin will die, is the core symptom of Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome. Follow what you passionately believe in, but don’t let it consume you. And if you need reassurance that not giving in to emotions is the right path, just look at the history of everyone who fell to BDS (Roger Ver probably being the most famous example). In the long run, it's far better to focus on your proof of work than on "fixing" what others are doing.

Quite so. Nor, frankly, must Nostr become solely a BTC hive, with multi crypto bro drone posts. It needs, like life itself, the spectrum of new tech, crypto, old tech, philosophy, silliness, escapism, wisdom uniltered beyond 5 second soundbites, music, video, bourbon, bottleneck blues, future hope. Oh, and adventure. πŸ™ƒ Adventure is always good.
✊Fully endorsed, Bitcoin’s resilience has never depended on emotional crusades it has always depended on proof of work. Those who let ego or panic drive them eventually burn out. But those who stay focused on building, stacking, and living their time preference become the real signal, they are called Rock Starsβœ¨πŸ€˜β€οΈβ€πŸ”₯ Good Morning, Uncle β˜•πŸ«‚
Gm Uncle🫑🫑 Exactly πŸ‘Œ Bitcoin doesn’t need saving, it thrives on individual proof of work. Those who tried to β€˜fix’ it usually ended up hurting themselves more than anything. The best path is to stay focused and keep building.
No. The level of dishonestly I see on NOSTR when it comes to Bitcoin vigilance is just unreal. People's WILLINGNESS to act upon Bitcoin to adapt to threats and vulnerabilities is the reason why Bitcoin always wins. Not some delulu ooga booga "mythical magic" that Bitcoin inherently has, which makes it ALWAYS win against threats like its some anime plot armor; as is a popular belief among NOSTR users, apparently. To think otherwise is what I will like to call NOSTR DELULU SYNDROME. View quoted note β†’
If this is in response to Bitcoin Core vs Knots, then sorry but this message is disingenuous. The Bitcoin community responding to, adapting against, and being vigilant towards any and all threats and vulnerabilities against the network is the only reason why Bitcoin has survived this long, even from things that crashed it and almost spelled its "death".
Core should have taken this advice much earlier. Users aren't forced to use a certain Bitcoin client. If not acting is not upgrading to 30, I'm all for this approach. At the same time, signalling the client policy you agree with also doesn't harm anything. To the extent that this is acting, it's neither a radical action, nor overly impactful. But it takes some power away from those acting without forethought (or worse, with it).
I couldn't agree more. You nailed it!!πŸš€πŸš€πŸ«‚. The best thing you can do for Bitcoin is to work on your own projects and contributions, not get caught up in the constant drama. It's a testament to Bitcoin's design that it doesn't need to be 'saved.' It just keeps chugging along. The core of this argument is that Bitcoin's resilience comes from its decentralized nature and its immutable code, not from any one person's activism. The best thing most of us can do is to continue building, creating, and contributing, rather than getting lost in the noise.πŸ«‚πŸ«‚ Good morning 🌞@UNCLE ROCKSTAR have a beautiful day today πŸ’œ
