Great episode! I respect Antoine, but unfortunately the majority of opinions he expressed are the same things we've already heard from Core devs, many of which don't make logical sense. The idea that an increased use of OP_RETURN for spam purposes won't happen because spammers are already using the witness data is absurd. They are two different things. It is equally as absurd as saying that they will stop using witness data and use OP_RETURN instead, which we know is not the case for things like ordinals because they CAN'T. It is the same as saying "the filters don't work, we need to remove the filters because they encourage spammers to go directly to miners."
Also, the idea that no core devs want spam on bitcoin is factually untrue. Lopp has specifically stated that he is "a fan of new technology," ie shitcoinery on bitcoin. He is not concerned for the monetary use case of bitcoin but rather sees the timechain as a developer playground.
Lastly, I am deeply, deeply troubled by the apparent defeatist mentality of Core developers that fighting spam is a losing battle. In a tweet from March 8th, Lopp posted this:
"OP_RETURN debate is novel due to how factions are split.
1) Ruthlessly rational technical folks who understand the dynamics of the network and don't want to play unending subjective games.
2) Ideological folks upset by how others use the network who want to play those games."
Ignoring the arguably inaccurate representation of both sides in that comment, I find it stunning that someone who supposedly gives "insights on security" (per his Twitter bio) thinks that attacks on a network are "unending subjective games" that can simply be opted out of if the developers so choose. Oh how easy information security would be if that were actually the reality, Jameson. Unfortunately in the real world, things like spam and DDoS attacks are very real threats that require constant vigilance to be mitigated. The Core attitude of "we can't stop it, so we might as well give up" is ridiculous and wrong.

The reason why nobody runs their own email server anymore is because it's literally impossible to do so if you want to have any hope of your email actually reaching the intended recipient.

I appreciate this conversation, but I wonder if Steve has any awareness of just how delusional he sounds. He consistently arbitrarily chooses which facts to acknowledge and which to ignore. His main arguments against facts that are inconvenient to his arguments are "you don't understand anything" and "so-and-so said this so you're wrong." What really blows my mind is the cognitive dissonance on display by people who adhere to strict literal interpretations of what bitcoin should be based on the white paper and early forum posts while also advocating for wildly unpopular, consensus-breaking hard forks. Very convenient how Adam Back's word is gospel, but only when he happens to utter something that seemingly agrees with the big blocker arguments. The majority of what Steve has said seems to be intentionally misrepresentative of reality.

You lost me when you started rambling nonsense about capitalism. Natural monopolies cannot exist under capitalism. How are you so clueless about this? How are you supposed to talk about Mises when you don't understand the first thing about him, and don't even know how to pronounce his name properly? Mee-sees, really? This podcast is a joke, and not a funny one.

I just heavily emphasized buying bitcoin to my cat. And I very much chided my other cat for not owning bitcoin. I feel like they're both missing out because they're too busy being cats. This is Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome of the weirdest kind.
Also, I didn't even mention my third cat, which should have been obvious because the perfect number of cats to own is 3.

This is musical noodling as far as I'm concerned. The kind of stuff that is way more interesting to the person making the music than the people listening to it. That said, it's a short clip so I can't judge too much, and I'm always happy to see people join Nostr and share.

No he didn't.
X.com was an online bank. Confinity created Paypal, which was the payment product we know today. X.com merged with Confinity and the resulting company was called X.com. They soon dropped the online bank service (the thing that Musk was working on) after the merger and changed the name of the company to Paypal. Musk was fired before the company was ever called Paypal, and he had nothing to do with the actual Paypal payment product.

Musk is peak fiat. His involvement with Twitter was an attempt to meme that went wrong. He runs most of the companies he touches into the ground, and the only reason Tesla is still around is because of government subsidies. They don't even know how to build cars properly.
Make no mistake, Musk only cares about himself, and he proves it time and time again. Not to mention he's a pathological liar.

I'm starting to notice a conspicuous amount of Google Pixels in commercials for other things. Like I just saw a commercial for Walmart and the person in the commercial was using a phone and it just happened to be a Pixel. They're pretty much everywhere in any commercial you see someone using a phone that isn't made by Apple.
