Post #bitcoin V30 mnemonics? @nprofile…yza6 @nprofile…zx3h @nprofile…l2yj @nprofile…fkft @nprofile…d7ya @nprofile…w2ua
The Bloat – OP_RETURN swells from 80 bytes to 100 KB from release of Core V30. Direct support for CSAM, arbitrary junk, etc, more attack surface.
The Gloat – Spammers, trolls, and bad actors brag about abusing Bitcoin’s permanent ledger with CSAM.
The Smote – Mainstream media attacks Bitcoin due to CSAM on the blockchain and calls on governments to act. Regulators and courts strike node runners, miners, and service providers hosting the bitcoin blockchain.
The Choke – Node operators shut down to moral/legal pressure and risk. Miners are forced to implement monitoring and transaction filtering policies.
The Broke – Trust fractures, Bitcoin’s decentralization weakens, censorship resistance is broken and the network risks legal and social breakdown.

I recommend running a Start9 server if you are interested in more than just running a node. It has a ton of sovereign apps available including Knots.

#bitcoin Knots is fighting to keep bitcoin a pure monetary network. Node runners vote your self interest, flex your muscle and run Knots.
Re: Suggestion: Allow short messages to be sent together with bitcoins ?
October 23, 2010, 07:02:57 PM
ECDSA can't encrypt messages, only sign signatures.
It would be unwise to have permanently recorded plaintext messages for everyone to see. It would be an accident waiting to happen.
If there's going to be a message system, it should be a separate system parallel to the bitcoin network. Messages should not be recorded in the block chain. The messages could be signed with the bitcoin address keypairs to prove who they're from.

#btc #bitcoin Knots on Start9 custom Bitcoin configuration steps to limit damage from Core DDoS attack.
You will have to repeat this every time you upgrade to a new version of Knots for custom parameters that aren't in the Knots configuration UI.
SSH into your Start9 server and issue the following commands to add custom parameters to your bitcoin configuration.
Replace the version of Knots in the path as appropriate
It is a good practice to make a backup copy of your configuration template
sudo cp /embassy-data/package-data/volumes/bitcoind/assets/28.1.0.2/compat/bitcoin.conf.template /embassy-data/package-data/volumes/bitcoind/assets/28.1.0.2/compat/bitcoin.conf.template.original
sudo nano /embassy-data/package-data/volumes/bitcoind/assets/28.1.0.2/compat/bitcoin.conf.template
Add a section at the bottom.
## CUSTOM PARAMETERS
maxuploadtarget=512
Save the configuration (CTRL-O to save, CTRL-X to exit)
Restart your Knots service using the UI
Verify that your change to the template has been applied as your bitcoin startup configuration:
sudo podman exec -it bitcoind.embassy less /root/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
or if you want to operate within the container:
sudo podman exec -it bitcoind.embassy bash
less /root/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
(other commands - BE CAREFUL NOT TO CORRUPT YOUR CONTAINER)

#btc Montana’s Diamond R Guest Ranch & Back Country Outfitter Orange Pill Story
Please zap me if you support my efforts. I’m boots on the ground orange pilling merchants to grow organic adoption.
I stayed over the weekend and had the opportunity to speak with the owner, Bobbi Jo, about bitcoin.
I gave her the basic elevator pitch of the problems bitcoin solves and how great it is for merchants.
She was curious to see it in action so I had her download Muun wallet and sent her $10 over lightning.
It impressed her how fast and easy it was along with virtually no fees that she said she would accept bitcoin as payment for my room so she could start stacking and learn more.
She’s got some work to do before opening up bitcoin payments for the public, but she’s on the path.
If you are looking for a real back country experience in northwest Montana then check them out. They are the real deal and awesome folks. Let’m know you are a bitcoiner and support their journey.

In retrospect it should have been obvious that #Bitcoin Core was eventually going to be bad for bitcoin. Bitcoin’s strength lies in its distributed nature with competing incentives. A “core” in bitcoin should be avoided at all costs. Node runners should think hard before upgrading to Core v30. We showed our strength and beat the “big blockers” in 2017. We should do the same to the “big egos” of 2025. Ossify at v29 or switch to Knots to make your voice heard. Switching to Knots is a breeze and your accountability to protecting the network we all rely upon to store our wealth.

For the #bitcoin class of 24 here’s what you need to know. It won’t give you what you think you want (more dollars), it will give you what you need (freedom from your stored value being debased in a fiat currency).
You need to fix your mind and break free of the central banker’s prison. Be patient and don’t fall victim to short term price movements. Focus on the rising floor not the ceiling.

#btc #bitcoin Texas Timeline
Assuming no major setbacks, Texas could pass SB 21 by May 2025, with Abbott signing it shortly after. The law would take effect on September 1, 2025, and the Comptroller could begin building the reserve—via donations or modest purchases—by Q4 2025.
If the House acts by mid-April and Abbott signs by May, here’s the tightest plausible timeline:
May 2025: Law signed.
September 1, 2025: Effective date.
October–December 2025: Reserve operational with initial holdings.

#Bitcoin #btc
Obsidian Markdown Notes:
# SUMMARY
Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, discusses Bitcoin's transformative potential as digital property, capital, and technology, emphasizing its role in reshaping finance and addressing global economic challenges.
# IDEAS:
- Bitcoin is not just currency; it's digital property, capital, energy, and transformative technology.
- Understanding Bitcoin requires rigorous study, often exceeding 1,000 hours, to grasp its exponential value.
- Debates about Bitcoin often hinge on semantics, like "currency," "gold," or "property."
- Misinterpreting Bitcoin as digital currency triggers resistance from economists, politicians, and accountants.
- Bitcoin's value as "digital property" resonates more effectively with wealthy investors than "digital gold."
- Historical failures of gold as a treasury asset highlight Bitcoin's superiority in space and time.
- Gold's 2% inflation rate erodes wealth over decades, while Bitcoin maintains zero inflation.
- Bitcoin's fixed scarcity (21 million units) parallels Manhattan's finite property value in cyberspace.
- Governments and corporations are stuck with depreciating assets like fiat or T-bills, unlike Bitcoin.
- Bitcoin enables peer-to-peer settlement across 10,000 entities globally, solving custody and liquidity issues.
- Central banks purchasing gold miss Bitcoin's potential as a superior treasury asset.
- Bitcoin's return (40%+) outperforms T-bills and the S&P 500, attracting progressive investors.
- Global debt-to-GDP ratios highlight the unsustainable nature of fiat systems, favoring Bitcoin adoption.
- Bitcoin acts as a "store of value" akin to real estate or equities for 21st-century investors.
- MicroStrategy's Bitcoin strategy grew its market cap 20x, showing Bitcoin's transformative corporate potential.
- Printing currency to buy Bitcoin could revolutionize a nation's treasury and balance of payments.
- Bitcoin is digital capital, addressing a $100-400 trillion market for wealth storage and transfer.
- Education is the main barrier to Bitcoin adoption, not its technology or economics.
- Bitcoin's adoption parallels the early days of transformative technologies like the internet or electricity.
- Describing Bitcoin as "digital property" makes it universally appealing and avoids polarizing debates.
- Bitcoin's decentralization challenges centralized control of wealth, appealing to those seeking financial sovereignty.
- Bitcoin adoption will accelerate as traditional assets fail to meet modern economic demands.
- Bitcoin offers liquidity, unlike traditional property, making it a superior capital asset.
- Bitcoin's integration into corporate strategies redefines balance sheets and shareholder value.
- Bitcoin's narrative must shift from "disruption" to "enhancement" of existing systems to gain broader acceptance.
- Bitcoin is the "Manhattan of cyberspace," a finite, invaluable digital property for global economic activity.
- Bitcoin's resistance to inflation ensures long-term wealth preservation compared to fiat currencies.
# INSIGHTS:
- Bitcoin transcends currency to become a revolutionary form of digital property and financial technology.
- Education is Bitcoin's biggest barrier; redefining it as digital capital unlocks universal acceptance.
- Gold's historical failures in time and space highlight Bitcoin's role as a superior reserve asset.
- Bitcoin's fixed scarcity mirrors finite real estate, creating unparalleled value in cyberspace.
- Mislabeling Bitcoin as "currency" alienates traditional institutions; "property" reframes it constructively.
- Bitcoin's adoption aligns with economic instability, acting as a hedge against global debt crises.
- Bitcoin integrates liquidity and permanence, offering unmatched utility as a corporate capital asset.
- Bitcoin's decentralization reshapes wealth storage, transferring power from centralized entities to individuals.
- Bitcoin's 40%+ annual returns redefine investment strategies, outperforming traditional asset classes.
- Reframing Bitcoin as "digital property" transforms its perception from disruptive to indispensable.
# QUOTES:
- "Bitcoin is the greatest city in cyberspace, limited to 21 million blocks."
- "Gold doesn't work in time or space; Bitcoin fixes both."
- "The first country to print currency and buy Bitcoin wins."
- "Bitcoin is digital property, the Manhattan of cyberspace."
- "A 2% inflation rate means gold loses 88% of its value in a century."
- "Bitcoin is a universal good, like digital communication or electricity."
- "Bitcoin as digital capital addresses a $100-400 trillion market."
- "No billionaire made their fortune investing in gold; Bitcoin is the upgrade."
- "Bitcoin is the store of value element of money, not a replacement currency."
- "MicroStrategy grew its market cap 20x by embracing Bitcoin as a treasury asset."
- "Describing Bitcoin as 'currency' triggers resistance; 'property' resonates universally."
- "Bitcoin is a lever to move the financial world, a digital Archimedes' fulcrum."
- "Bitcoin adoption is hindered by semantics, not economics or technology."
- "Gold hyperinflation collapsed empires; Bitcoin's zero inflation ensures stability."
- "Bitcoin's liquidity makes it a superior corporate treasury asset."
- "A $900 trillion global market holds just $1 trillion in Bitcoin today."
- "Bitcoin integrates permanence and liquidity, unlike traditional real estate."
- "Bitcoin's narrative must shift from disruptive to constructive."
- "Bitcoin offers the best capital return, outperforming S&P 500 and T-bills."
# HABITS:
- Invest time rigorously—1,000+ hours—to deeply understand Bitcoin's mechanics and potential.
- Frame Bitcoin discussions around its value as digital property, avoiding polarizing semantics.
- Continuously educate others on Bitcoin's benefits to overcome barriers to adoption.
- Leverage Bitcoin's liquidity for corporate balance sheet optimization and shareholder value.

Obsidian Markdown Notes:
# SUMMARY
Cory Klippsten, CEO of Swan Bitcoin, discusses Bitcoin's impact on finance, corporate strategies, institutional adoption, and the potential for national Bitcoin reserves.
# IDEAS:
- Bitcoin doesn't need to replace the dollar to succeed; it pulls value from other assets.
- Incremental wealth storage in Bitcoin can expand its market without competing with other asset classes.
- Companies with steady cash flow but low growth are ideal for leveraging strategies to buy Bitcoin.
- Leveraged Bitcoin Equities (LBE) resemble leveraged buyouts (LBOs) of the 1980s in unlocking capital structures.
- The use of convertible bonds for Bitcoin-related strategies is creating exclusivity among financial players.
- Bitcoin's potential to become the second-largest asset class behind real estate by 2050 is plausible.
- The U.S. holding confiscated Bitcoin as a strategic reserve has a high likelihood of occurring.
- Sovereign nations may be waiting for the U.S. to act on Bitcoin before openly adopting it.
- Institutional adoption of Bitcoin is accelerating as competition compels participation.
- Bitcoin's role as collateral is reshaping traditional financial strategies and balance sheets.
- Publicly listed companies are declining while private equity and venture capital are rising.
- Bitcoin can provide businesses with growth options without needing private equity.
- The reflexive nature of Bitcoin leveraging strategies could lead to market mania cycles.
- Bitcoin expands the total addressable market (TAM) for store-of-value assets.
- The U.S. government holding Bitcoin would not signal the end of the dollar.
- Historical shifts, like the gold standard adoption, show how nations quickly align on competitive advantages.
- Bitcoin mining and energy-intensive industries are finding synergies for operational efficiency.
- Institutional adoption seeds were planted in 2013 and are now flourishing in 2020-2030.
- Convertible bonds are a critical tool for enabling leveraged Bitcoin strategies.
- The Federal Reserve cannot own Bitcoin under current laws, but the Treasury could.
- Bitcoin's role in sovereign strategies mirrors historical arms and space races among nations.
- Bitcoin rewards credit cards are gaining traction, offering an alternative to cash or miles back.
- The competitive nature of Wall Street is dragging institutions into Bitcoin-related strategies.
- Commodities-focused investment banks are exploring Bitcoin due to client and LP interest.
- Bitcoin doesn't need to demonetize gold or real estate to grow; it can absorb incremental profits.
- Sovereign wealth funds and nations may be coordinating their Bitcoin strategies.
# INSIGHTS:
- Bitcoin as collateral is transforming corporate finance by enabling new, leverage-based growth strategies.
- Leveraged Bitcoin Equities (LBE) could become a major corporate category akin to LBOs in the 1980s.
- Institutional Bitcoin adoption is driven by competitive pressures rather than voluntary participation.
- Bitcoin's growth doesn't require competition with other assets; it expands the store-of-value market.
- Nations' adoption of Bitcoin could spark a global financial "arms race" for dominance.
- Historical patterns suggest that shifts in asset standards, like Bitcoin, can align nations rapidly.
- The U.S. holding confiscated Bitcoin could set a precedent for sovereign Bitcoin reserves.
- Bitcoin mining and energy industries are naturally aligning for mutual efficiency and cost benefits.
- Convertible bonds are emerging as the financial instrument of choice for Bitcoin-leveraged strategies.
- Bitcoin's rise is forcing traditional finance to adapt, creating new market dynamics.
# QUOTES:

- "If you're not in this trade, you're getting absolutely crushed publicly and embarrassed."
- "This is the earliest of the early innings; there's really only one company executing it today."
- "Bitcoin's growth doesn't signal the dollar's death; the dollar doesn't have to die for Bitcoin to succeed."
- "The Federal Reserve can't own Bitcoin, but the Treasury holding it is plausible."
- "The seeds of institutional Bitcoin adoption were planted in 2013 and are flourishing now."
- "Bitcoin expands the TAM for store-of-value assets without directly competing with them."
- "Sovereign wealth funds are positioning for Bitcoin but may wait for the U.S. to act first."

I went to Las Vegas and it was surreal. The casinos were all lit up with nobody in them and the convention center in The Venetian was a massive empty space. The streets were a ghost town like a some dystopian movie.
