More tech is exported from Bitcoin to altcoins than vice versa.

Most people don't know that Ethereum was considered a broken bad idea *before it even launched*. Everything since then have been attempts to keep the front from falling completely off to keep the gravy train rolling for insiders.

Maybe we shouldn't play whack-a-mole with filters. We definitely shouldn't remove the 21M cap. We definitely should default to bits.

I propose an even less harmful thing data storage fanatics can use instead of fake outputs, inscriptions, OP_RETURN, etc. And the biggest advantage is it's FREE. bittorrent.org Now that there is a costless, completely harmless way to do data storage, we know the true

How it started How it's going

The equivalent of hoping people will use OP_RETURN instead of fake outputs.

Onchain activity is dead. Looks like we'll have to actually work to make desirable use cases people want to use instead of relying on crypto slop to fill up blocks.

Bitcoin market cap is only at 0.4% of the estimated global wealth. To say we are early is overstating it. We're before "early".

Trying to make Ethereum simpler after a decade of technical debt is like trying to make a 747 simpler mid-flight. Best of luck.

Did you forget how Bitcoin works?

It’s interesting seeing the Monero fans virtue signaling about being anti-filters all while having merged a patch that introduces a filter for their equivalent of OP_RETURN all because of Monero ordinals. Literally adding a filter that they’re virtue signaling against now in
