You're still conflating money, payments, settlement, and credit. This is why your replying with weird hot-air "fallacies" and metaphors. Bitcoin does not need to scale (it could never) for every economic interaction on-chain. Layers, altcoins, stablecoins, etc, already concede that. Bitcoin only needs to be censorship-resistant sovereign money with large-enough proof of work. Lightning "scales" payments by reusing liquidity and delaying final settlement ... thanks to trusted unconfirmed transactions, not amazing protocol design. Atomicity scales further by digitizing trust explicitly, so obligations can be routed, netted, and settled incidentally instead of pretending every meaningful economic act must be immediate final settlement. It's a mutual credit system. It coordinates trust where it exists, not as a last resort. An occasional block increase does not solve for global retail, commerce, or finance. It just moves the bottleneck while increasing centralization pressure on validation and propagation. The real fallacy is thinking Bitcoin failed because finance cannot be made fully trustless. Trust is not a bug in finance, nor for massively scalable payments. It is a requirement. Trust is the subject. The gap is whether trust is explicit, contextual, and user-controlled, or, managed by institutions and platforms. The next step is not pretending the base layer or LN should become Visa. The next step is building open payment and credit systems that preserves Bitcoin as the settlement anchor, to the degree its users require, not a crusade for Bitcoin domination. 📝 07e98769…

Good morning, you should be building on Pubky.

You have Bitcoin goggles on, so you deny yourself understanding. "Bitcoin doesn't scale" is not a mantra, it is an objective fact that any rational engineer can observe about its design. You can just use math; it isn't actually debatable. I will make anyone look like a fool for such beliefs if given a fair format. Further, Bitcoiners have some retarded views on what things like money, payments, and settlements are, so they support dead-end research that appeals to their emotions and hopes. You. Will. Never. Scale. Bitcoin. Trustlessly. Thus you will always need to digitize trust explicitly. It's your lack of creativity & experience that makes you think any of this is coping or naive. I am offering a solution that maintains P2P sovereignty, not excuses. 📝 f704ff80…

Everyone, except you, is tracking everything you do on the web, trying to infer everything about you. Shouldn't you be tracking too? Shouldn't you know as much as the people marketing to you, as the governments propagandizing you? Why don't you?

FREE OPEN fucking SOURCE FREEDOM fucking SOFTWARE You are paranoid about its heritage? Are you a fucking puritan or something? Do you even know my heritage?! Who the hell are YOU to doubt me in the first place? Who fucking cares which retarded hang-ups you have about your backwards tribal way of thinking? Why is it that when I make you feel uncomfortable about your SOFTWARE you respond by talking about me? Why is this place such a fucking cesspool? Why do you all tolerate this, and support this behavior? You think being a fucking memetard is a win? No, it's being a fucking meme! A fucking oversimplified idea made into a joke. Forgettable. Stop with the "pleb" shit and take some fucking responsibility. Your memes are stupid. You are stupid. You make everyone that supports you more stupid. Being stupid and insignificant is not cool, it is a fucking psyop. Holy fuck, grow the fuck up and suffer some fucking reality. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF!

A list of products you are probably neglecting as a Bitcoiner, and as a proponent of freedom software in general.

Some people really are eerily consistent at being contra-indicators.

Ha! Google published BoomerTabs :) https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/boomertabs/hmgjo…

Bitcoin is what happens when money stops asking who is in charge.

If you watch this you will find that some people think I said some interesting things and that I wear interesting clothing https://rumble.com/v75u0om-why-using-bitcoin-matters-real…

Introducing BoomerTabs! BoomerTabs is a Chrome extension for people who always have too many tabs open. The goal was simple: make tab management faster and less annoying. What it does best: - Replaces tiny-labels with larger, readable tabs - Supports multi-row layouts so you can actually see more - Lets you drag, drop and organize tabs, including between rows - Supports tab groups with color cues and inline collapse/expand - Includes fast search so you can jump to the tab you need - Handles zoom levels properly, so the UI doesn’t break at different scales If your browser usually has dozens of tabs open, this makes a real difference! https://github.com/BitcoinErrorLog/boomertabs You have to install manually with the ZIP for now, but I did submit it to the Chrome Store for review! (Yes, this is a Sunday vibe-coded project)

The fact the dropping my iPhone is unlikely to break the glass gives me hope for humanity.

When you choose bad role models, you choose a smaller life for yourself.
