"Attach to the execution of your conviction, not the outcome." - Kalien, circa 2026 #XBT (b2b) is #Bitcoin. My opinions only, not financial advice.

Pinned Tweet
This is why the resistance does #XBT (b2b). Interpretation - The big institutional players infiltrated the core devs, then bought off the big mining pools. Everyone else (except us) passively upgraded like lambs to the slaughter... source: Google Gemini #bitcoin #b2b

Pure water is better than tainted water. Pure money is better than tainted money. That is why there is #xbt #bitcoin on #blake2b

#xbt #bitcoin #blake2b has the highest asymmetric upside of any asset on earth by far.

Cuck (sv1) miners don't get a vote Actual miners get a vote, but not because of hashpower; because they run a node

XBT is Bitcoin. We changed the algorithm to Blake2B in order to avoid the continued centralized control of SHA-256 algorithm "Bitcoin". You should pay attention more my friend.

Bitcoin is finite, Bitspam has a soft cap. Demurrage and tail emission coming to spamcoin.

CCP (China) pool dominance is far higher than that even today, and no one seems to care. USA and CCP pool dominance is 90% of the network, and very few Bitcoiners care

🔁REPOST, MUST WATCH INTERVIEW JUNE 15th 2026 Bitcoin isn't digital gold. It's not locked in by math. You can kill it. @_BitcoinMatrix #279 Bitcoin Core Has Gone Rogue | @mattkratter, Bitcoin University The man who ran money at Peter Thiel's hedge fund came on to explain who's trying, and why the only thing protecting Bitcoin is the people who run nodes. Matthew Kratter, Bitcoin University founder, former Clarium / Thiel-world macro trader, early Palantir investor, joins me to lay out the fight consuming Bitcoin right now in plain English: why he says Bitcoin Core has "gone rogue," the spam war over OP_RETURN and BIP-110 he calls Bitcoin's last stand, why consensus flows from culture and not code, who actually controls the network (hint: not the miners), and how to mine Bitcoin from home for about $10 a day. Send this to anyone who thinks Bitcoin can't be stopped.

I just have one thought before I go to sleep. Unless you are happy being a hired gun, why would anyone want to do work on the SHA256 chain? It's like, I'm happy to do work as a lawyer as a hired gun, because of all the downstream benefits and immediate financial rewards. That chain is so completely captured and psyoped and riddled with constructive narratives, unless you are just like the lawyers and the bankers and brokers, and everyone else in the fiat world, why would you choose to work on anything involving the SHA256 chain? You would have to be delusional to think it now is, or ever could be in the future, anything initially intended for Bitcoin by Satoshi. So why are people interested in it at all anymore? If not as a yet another fiat controlled area of commerce? It would be far more pleasant if people just took off the literary illusions they are spinning to themselves and and, I guess, a fully involved cult that drank the Kool-Aid and is never giving up that drink. I mean sure, I'll follow Justin Bechler into NGU if I find this is the best way to provide for my son's trust fund he needs because he is chronically ill so he is adequately funded after his dad and I are no longer here. I like more money rather than less as well as the next person. By why pretend this enterprise since BIP-100 exposed the complete and absolute total enmeshment of law, regulation and corporate capture with anything that has to do with the SH A256 chain? I guess the Kool-Aid doesn't wear off for some. @1914ad @mattkratter @NickSzabo4 @LukeDashjr @DavidFBailey @Excellion @adam3us

All scammers and fiat maxis bitching and crying about the coin maturity softfork. Looks to be having the exact desired effect. Great success so far.

The BLAKE2b long coinbase maturity soft fork is working exactly as designed. Since activation at block 973,440, our node has rejected 6 invalid blocks from 3 different miners — all attempting to spend coinbase rewards that haven't matured under the new consensus rules. 🧵

Spamcoin isn't Bitcoin, it's a centralized fiat airdrop run by a small cartel. They absolutely can take your "bitcoins", with or without government coersion.

We node runners did not fire the miners to change the logo or swap one mining algorithm for another. We fired them to preserve Bitcoin as sovereign money. Money that no state, corporation, miner, pool operator, or other powerful interest gets to rule through capital or coercion. Bitcoin’s rules are chosen by the people willing to run them, and we are free to change those rules when the incentives begin working against Bitcoin’s monetary purpose. And we just proved it again. When opportunistic SV1 hashrate concentrated behind one pool, we extended coinbase maturity rather than accept hashrate dominance as sovereignty. Hashrate may leave. Capital may leave. Miners may leave. But the money stays. So bring the hashrate. Bring the capital. Bring whatever economic leverage you think gives you control on our network. It does not. If your behavior threatens the purpose of the money, the rules will change beneath you. Your hashrate is temporary. The money is not.

The sha256 miners forked themselves off, so yes, in that sense they quit >Bitcoin miners didn't show up for BIP-110, they swatted it away like it was a gnat. 5 mining pools decided in a backroom deal to hardfork themselves off by ignoring consensus, yes. That's why we fired them >XBT had a chance at something Yes, money for the world. We're going to have a much better chance at that once it's harder for hostile SV1 pools to 51% attack us >they are allowing loudmouthed bullies to drive it nose first into the ground. No, we just don't think miners are in charge, which is actually how bitcoin works, though bcashers and spamcoiners may disagree Sorry you didn't do just a tiny bit of research on the coin you were mining 😂

No! Bitcoin has actually (big) miners that ignore soft forks that protect node owners. That was no voting, it was a steamrolling. Hence, we parted ways...
