There's a reason why BCHers will never argue the genuine debate and have to dishonestly frame it and latch onto weak conspiracies...

Because they can't. Their only hope is to make it look like the people who actually understood how Bitcoin worked, were just "bad guys." It's how they avoid addressing anything at all of substance on the issue. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzpw08v4rt5pj9dmfsrk0990zflfywwznt7g5zheap4eefgasjqg7uqythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcqypcp0p7pjph8yzfwr3x570s3ru47m35krh7frzqcafg7c07r5wpfkd963qj

PART 7/7

So What Questions Are We Left With? If you want to skip the rest of it, these are the important questions to understand the connection between Epstein, his investments, his opinions, his knowledge, and his correspondence with those in the space, and how it all relates to the blocksize war. Why is every argument from Bcashers absent of any technical point and why do they *need* this to be a govt conspiracy? Time to wrap it up and answer the question, Did Epstein Hijack Bitcoin?

PART 6/7

So Did Epstein Fund Small Blockers? If this was in fact his plan, we would expect his investments to be focused on small blockers. We would expect an adversarial relationship with people on the opposing side. Did the developers funded by MIT push hard for small blocks? Did his investments and attention go toward small block supporting companies? Is there another story as to who was really trying to Hijack Bitcoin?

PART 5/7

How Does it All Stand Up Against the Timeline? If this was all a big plan to take over Bitcoin and the entire war was orchestrated, how do their emails and correspondence line up? Where can we find out what Epstein's opinion about any of these issues were? How much did Epstein know about Bitcoin and what was needed to hijack it?

PART 4/7

Did Adam Back go to Epstein's Island? If so, can we determine if this means he and Austin Hill were compromised? That Epstein had them on a leash and that the purpose of this was to gain control over Blockstream and trap Bitcoin onto a small block, unscalable path?

PART 3/7

Follow the Money What did Epstein invest in and what does it tell us about his view of all this? Did Blockstream really hijack Bitcoin so they could control Lightning and Liquid and be the dominate middlemen of the entire ecosystem? If so, how did it work out?

PART 2/7

What was the Blocksize War really about? (and why couldn't we reach agreement to just "make it bigger?") This is the nerdy stuff, but important to actually understand the history of all this - especially with the nonsense one will get from Bcashers on what the debate even was. If you want to skip this, then just jump to the last 30 seconds. One common bcasher claim is that there was always consensus on making the blocks bigger and scaling limits were a completely made up issue. It's worth noting where the debate about scaling bitcoin truly began.

Did Jeffrey Epstein hijack Bitcoin?

PART 1/7 This theory has been making the rounds lately - the Bcashers have been veritably drooling over it since the DOJ dump. It's time to actually go point by point and see if this actually lines up and if there is a real connection between Epstein and the blocksize war. (I'm breaking this up to avoid one long video) To kick it off, let's give the summary of what the conspiracy is, and its main evidence supporting it.

Video and image gen models are getting so insane. Will be reading a piece soon on what happens when all forms of digital "provenance" begin falling into an ocean of "well i literally have zero way to know if this is real or not" and what that may do to the public psyche, the culture, and future generations.

It'll be on nostr:nprofile1qyf8wumn8ghj7ctnw3exzmpwde5ku6npqyt8wumn8ghj7cnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqqyza65fhwv3q3sss9qfdy6vl5qr0xvede4x903cdkkkpw2t8zc8z8cza963f if you are interested

The people who say "but the data says" and ignore the enormous amount of ambiguity and bias in *recording that data,* and the core fact that all studies and all science begins with anecdotal data and personal experience, have completely reversed the logic of science.

If you ignore direct experience that occurs with immediate temporal connection in literally 1000s of people, and then shortly thereafter in an order of magnitude more, you've not merely made a joke out of science, you've let the perception of "medical authority" override your common sense.

“embarrassment is an under explored emotion, go out there and make a fool of yourself.”

The govt has done such horrific damage to the healthcare and insurance industries that there is an entirely alternative industry of “unapproved” medical professionals and “insurance as crowd funding” being built from the ground up simply to escape the leviathan of insurance/establishment insanity.

We won’t fix the idiocy it created, but in a sly roundabout way we will get honest, sensible care and disaster protection by avoiding their system altogether. I have left it and will never look back. It’s little different than fiat vs bitcoin in my mind. Going back is so idiotic that I chuckle in horror at the thought of even entertaining it.

God this is so true. Finally cracked at “SPAM CALL!” 🤣

"come on, you guys are the chicken people" 🤣 🤣

I used to be super wired at night (literally 10pm was peak work/idea hour)

and it took me like 4 hours to actually feel "awake" in the morning. My wife put me onto light health as something I was completely neglecting, and the problem is gone... this is all i did.

The sudden rise of dementia and Alzheimer's in the 70's that continues to grow substantially to this day wasn't a random fluke...

"Mr. President, this week, a man named Keoni Rodriguez is going to federal prison for creating crypto privacy software. The case was started under the Biden administration, but your DOJ kept it going and secured the conviction. A lot of people in crypto are saying that this man should be pardoned. Are you familiar with the case at all, or would you be interested to be there? I've heard about it. I'll look at it. Well, you think you should be pardoned? Sounds like it. Sounds like basically your question. Many people in... Rodriguez, we'll look at that, Pam. Okay? Let's take a look at it. You'll have to tell me. I don't know anything about it, but we'll take a look."

This is a hell of a card trick…

Who needs magic when reality is this cool?

“Believe in science.”

Since 1984, the same year Fauci became heavily involved in funding, “the average age of an NIH funded principal investigator has gone up by one year per year. That looks like one group took over the money in 1984, and then they've just been giving themselves grants ever since."

The algorithm literally conditions our emotional state to make us more susceptible to the advertisement…

“Gold led to the US dollar… because gold was captured when everyone left it with custodians. We have to fight that as Bitcoiners, or Bitcoin becomes a meme coin like gold. I worry we’re heading toward everyone putting their Bitcoin into exchanges… or ETFs.”

The average American spends 4 hours every day scrolling on their phone. For the younger generations its almost 6.

If you don't include the time you have to sleep, that's between 90-130 days out of the year... spent just looking at our phones. If you could get that time back what would you do with it?

"If you have this disconnect between core devs that value one thing and the users that value something else. I mean something's gotta give at some point, right?

Either you get developers more inline with the users, or a lot of the users kinda end up leaving. This is not a trivial concern. It's a big attack surface. We've seen it in these communities where a lot of this political stuff enters and then the next thing you know it gets completely, sort of subsumed by this movement..."
