It’s insane to me that anyone would listen to this guy: he runs a bitcoin “think tank” which is in direct opposition to node consensus. The deepest irony is that BPI lobbying Washington is fundamentally anti-cypherpunk. The whole point of Bitcoin was that you don’t need to lobby anyone. The protocol is the policy. The moment you’re sending representatives to Washington to explain Bitcoin to politicians, you’ve accepted that state legitimacy matters - which is the exact opposite of what Satoshi built. Node runners don’t give a fuck if you wasted 100 million fiat dollars for some corporate and government bullshit. Nodes are the heart and soul of decentralization of bitcoin. Bitcoin was specifically engineered so none of these corporate levers exist. No third party gets to decide what the protocol is or what is spam. There’s no board. No CEO. No ministry of Bitcoin. The protocol doesn’t care what a think tank thinks. #bip110 📝 6c48061a…
