Biggest threat to bitcoin? youtu.be/Suk1YNRmuxQ?t=4809 @SimonDixonTwitt @JeffBooth @adam3us @hodlonaut @Excellion @mattkratter @LukeDashjr @GrassFedBitcoin @saylor @natbrunell @aantonop

@mattkratter, you probably have no idea who I am, and that is partly why I wanted to write this. I’m a Jordanian who has spent more than a decade working in technology in Saudi Arabia. Somewhere between work, family and trying to understand the world better, I fell down the Bitcoin rabbit hole. Technology led to money. Money led to economics, history, incentives, energy and human behavior. Somewhere along that journey, I found Trader University. Matthew became one of the voices I kept coming back to. I trusted that he had done the work before turning on the camera. His influence went beyond Bitcoin. He once recommended Good Energy by Casey Means. I bought it. Someone records a video thousands of kilometers away, mentions a book, and a person in Saudi Arabia hears it, orders it and follows another rabbit hole. Matthew probably never knew. That is what education looks like from the other side of the screen. And that is why watching the attacks on him now bothers me. For years, the XRP army, Ethereum people, gold bugs and shitcoiners attacked him. At the same time, he could have monetized his audience with tokens, airdrops, exchange sponsorships, early allocations and paid promotions. He could have made a fortune. He kept talking about Bitcoin. Now I open X and see Bitcoiners directing the same hatred at him because of BIP-110. Disagreement is fair. Personal humiliation isn’t. There is still a human being behind. Someone who spent years educating people he will probably never meet. Matthew supported BIP-110 because he believed it was better for Bitcoin. So did I. I still do. Maybe history proves us wrong. Maybe it proves us right. History has a longer attention span than X. One lost signaling battle cannot erase years of integrity and contribution. So while your notifications are filled with people telling you what you got wrong, here is one from thousands of kilometers away saying something different: Thank you, Matthew. For the Bitcoin education. For the rabbit holes. Even for Good Energy sitting on my bookshelf. The replies are loud right now. They are not everyone. I’m still here. Still with Matthew. Still pro-BIP-110.

Sit down when I tell you this… The average private-sector worker earns $65,000. The average federal employee earns $106,000, 40 percent more for doing far less. Even state and local government employees average $82,000. It is completely backwards. We are the profitable and productive part of society. Something is horribly wrong and there needs to be a total and complete resetting. And it all starts with the government. This is why we cheer when over 100,000 federal employees resigned yesterday. The federal workforce of nearly 3 million, larger than Amazon and Walmart combined, delivers bureaucracy, inefficiency, and frustration, not results. It is time to flip the tables. Private-sector wages should thrive. Federal pay should reflect service, not luxury.

Who is Bitcoin Core's largest contributor? Chaincode Labs. Balaji Srinivasan, co-founder of Palintir, and one of Citrea 's founders, funneled $500,000 through Chaincode Labs to spur development. In return, Bitcoin Core has identified Citrea as the Schelling point for the removal of OPRETURN limits. Who is behind Citrea? People like Eric Wall aka Taproot Wizards. Jameson Lopp. Peter Thiel. Mike Novagratz (remember Luna?), Erik Vorhees, and a numerous cast of Bitcoin Maxis (JK, no Bitcoin Maxis here). What does Citrea want to do? Create an Ethereum Virtual Machine with Ethereum like smart contract using ZK rollups. I'm glad Core is so committed to building on Bitcoin.

Did you know, door manufacturers, after October 31, will no longer produce doors with locks, because locks on doors don't stop crime. I could explain but the way locks work is quite technical, you wouldn't get it. Instead, I'll get Shinobi to run Adam Hack's X account to explain to people how locks technically work (eDuCaTiON) to distract them from what's going on. There will also be debates and forums on spaces. If you don't like it, just use windows instead of doors, or build your own doors.

I just thought you should know as you try to find ways to save money to pay your bills that we sent $8.2 million to Vietnam to create gender-just rice

"made millions selling snake oil". Wow. - We make a groundbreaking FOSS Linux distro - We sell quality devices at a reasonable price - We provide incredible customer support - We do everything with integrity - We have an unblemished track record - We are not profitable...yet

My Two Sats on Core vs Knots Debacle I don’t give three shits about your cute little encrypted love letters meant for some future boyfriend. I don’t care about your AI-generated “art” that you think is so profound it needs to live forever on-chain. What I do care about is energy. My energy. My daughter’s energy. My granddaughter’s energy. Energy that should not be wasted so some nerd can immortalize a doodle in the blockchain. I care about escaping the rat race now. I care about my daughter not being forced to trade 40, 60, 80 hours a week to survive in a system that bleeds her dry. I care about keeping Bitcoin pure uncorrupted so it can do what it was created to do: ✔ Store value ✔ Move money peer-to-peer ✔ Protect and compound human energy Bitcoin is not your scrapbook. It’s not your vanity project. It’s the only shot we have at reclaiming time, freedom, and a future worth living. Mess with that, and you’re not just wasting block space, you’re wasting generations.

Fred Thiel, MARA CEO, hired a Dev to create Slipstream, which allows bloat and non-monetary transactions on Bitcoin for a fee That Dev is "allegedly" DOS attacking Bitcoiners whose nodes run on Comcast's data plan If you hold 632,457 Bitcoin, are you OK with this? @saylor
