It would be nice if we didn’t need to think about Monero, but it’s a separate blockchain that can do very important things that Bitcoin cannot do. Not shitcoinery, but actual use cases. This is why both Michael Saylor and Peter Todd have said "if you need privacy, use Monero".
I don’t want it to be this way, but the culture is shifting and privacy is no longer desirable for these fiat corporations and the governments they trust in. That is why they continue to push their sunken cost into lightning. Devs are still trying to figure out how to scale Lightning. How many more decades until they attempt non-custodial privacy?
Bitcoin is a much better store of value than Monero. There is no second best in that department. But I came to Bitcoin because it is supposed to be the best money, and money has many more properties than "store of value".

Does anyone watch The Boys?
**SPOILER ALERT**
Obviously Homelander is Trump. The creators have even said this. In the latest season, a liberal throws a cup at Homelander’s son, so Homelander lasers his head in half. The crowd cheers.
This is a parody of Trump’s comment about shooting someone on 5th Avenue and people would love him.
Homelander has a trial for murder, where he claims self defense. Before the trial, he invites a few of his biggest fans to meet him, and has their heads smashed in with bats.
After he is acquitted for self defense, a new supe named Sister Sage, who is the "smartest person in the world", provokes a riot. Earlier in the show, Sage correctly explained that all democracies fail because the majority are stupid.
They dump the biggest fan’s bodies on the ground during the riot, and when all is settled, their death gives Homelander unconditional support and loyalty.
The media has decades of psychology studies and the government knows how to manipulate our emotions and actions. If all the conspiracies point to the left, who is watching the right?

Paul asked @npub1xap…cnde why the miners cannot currently conspire with Amazon (or Mark Zuckerberg or whoever), and Shinobi has not answered this question. I also asked Shinobi multiple times.
Amazon can bribe miners right now, and it gets easier to do so as miners lose revenue every four years. If we want to stop them from conspiring, we have to incentivize them.

Liquid is a multisig pretending to be a sidechain. 15 people control your coins.
Drivechains are sidechains, chosen by 51% hashrate. They are a promise from the miners that they support these sidechains and will not destroy them in 10 minutes.
There is no reason to put sidechain technology on a fake sidechain and see how it does.
If you want to peg out of Liquid, and the Liquid federation wants to give you your Bitcoin, but 51% of miners do not want you to have your coins, they can censor you. They can censor lightning. They can kill every L2, including drivechains.
BIP300 recognizes this, so it does two things to protect itself:
1. Massive fees to miners. Why would miners kill something that always pays them? They are incentivized to protect the sidechains, make them better, and continue mining L1.
2. Six month peg out. This gives us six months to see if the miners are misbehaving, with a constant warning displayed to the world every 10 minutes.
If using a second layer to Bitcoin is its eventual future for the masses, then there is nothing close to drivechains.
BitVM has similar issues, though it’s MUCH better than lightning, and that is why Super Testnet and Robin still support BIP300.

Download and run mainchain at the top, wait for it to sync, and then get an address under Receive

Bitcoin University is often shared by Michael Saylor. They want to ossify Bitcoin, and continuously warn about people who want to "change" it.
If consensus is a bunch of popular people shouting "no consensus!", then nothing will ever get done. However, if Bitcoin doesn’t update, then it won’t be able to replace fiat. Saylor knows this, but says it’s good because we shouldn’t compete with dollar.
So all this talk about the evils of fiat is the psyop. They say they hate fiat, but then urge us to comply with the money printers, so that we don’t upset the government.

Thank you Super Testnet. I have been thinking about this, and I’m running into issues with a multisig setup. Perhaps this is something bitVM is also unable to solve.
If Alice adds funds for collateral and Bob refuses to respond, then Alice loses her collateral and it cost Bob nothing.
We could make it where Alice can get her money back if Bob doesn’t respond. However, if Bob does respond and Alice pays, Bob could use his own private key to take back his part. Now Bob has his 10 BTC + the payment, but Alice is short the payment and only gets her collateral back.
So the incentives are better if it’s all or nothing for both, but Bob can be evil for free. Would bitVM run into the same dilemma?

Okay it’s been updated. I would not use this without collateral because there is no protection. In that case, you are better off trusting a third party or paying cash to a friend.

There is a zcash sidechain ready to be deployed on Bitcoin. In fact, with drivechains Bitcoin will always have the latest privacy tech the moment it’s discovered.
Maybe you think better solutions will be built. Cool, build those. We are running out of time.

I don’t want to misrepresent CUSF, but this is the last solid thing Paul has written about it. There is code on LayerTwoLabs' GitHub

I’ve been trying to help @npub1nev…jmve. They have built a GUI program that lets you install an upgraded signet version of Bitcoin Core with BIP300. There are also a few sidechains like Thunder and a privacy focused zcash fork.
Paul Sztorc is currently building CUSF, which stands for Core-Untouched Soft Fork. It will allow miners and users to choose future soft forks in an organized manner.
The cypherpunk vision for Bitcoin is coming soon

When will Max Keiser go to prison for his blasphemy against Satoshi?

"At what point do we respond? At what point do they see our response? At what point do they stop marching off our developers to prison, and at which point do we start taking their authorities away?
Because that is what #Bitcoin is set out to do."

One pool cannot "just steal the money" and you know this. It takes six months with a constant 10 minute reminder that your pool is trying to steal the funds.
Hashers have a ridiculous amount of time to switch, it is very easy to switch, and they are incentivized to switch because the pool is wasting their work.
If a single mining pool has over 51% hashrate, then Bitcoin is in trouble anyway. BIP300 recognizes this and keeps the miners on a very short leash.

Hashrate escrow does solve this. No corporation has to run an LSP or have massive liquidity to route payments. Instead, that liquidity can be used to buy L2 coins and onboard users directly without their own L1 txn.
Some say it makes the miners a custodian, but that is not true. It would require thousands of hashers, collectively agreeing to continue stealing funds for 6 months- while everyone sees what they are doing every 10 minutes and they waste their Proof of Work.
The only time drivechain funds will get "stolen" is when miners and economic nodes have agreed to kill a sidechain and hard fork to another. In this case, miners can offer atomic swap to the new chain before the old dies, and nobody loses money.
