NJ’s unusual standoff: Sherrill wants Caldwell out. He may not have to go, he is also the secretary of state snd oversees our elections here Gov. Mikie Sherrill has demanded Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell resign after an independent investigation found sexual harassment and ethics violations, “serious, repeated violations of state policy,” including conduct that continued after warnings and training Caldwell’s attorney called the probe one-sided and said he was denied a real chance to answer anonymous allegations. Caldwell denies wrongdoing and is not quietly stepping aside. That’s the constitutional problem Caldwell is an **elected** lieutenant governor. Sherrill cannot simply fire him from that office. She *can* squeeze the job: staff, budget, and day-to-day duties. He could remain LG in title while being sidelined in practice It gets messier because he is also **Secretary of State** and oversees the Division of Elections, weeks before the midterms. Whether a governor can remove a SoS “for cause” when that person is also an elected LG is largely untested. The other path is impeachment: 41 Assembly votes to impeach, then 27 Senate votes to convict and remove For now he remains both LG and SoS. Sherrill has told him to leave. He’s signaling a fight.

This is one of the greatest misunderstandings in Bitcoin. Block subsidies getting cut in half every four years does NOT mean that there are "lower block rewards." Nominally, yes, the rewards are halved every four years. But value-wise, which is the critical factor, the rewards increase over time. For example: 50 BTC was mined every Bitcoin block until November 28, 2012. When that last 50-BTC block was mined, the market value of 50 BTC was $619. On November 28th, the Bitcoin subsidy halved from 50 BTC to 25 BTC. That's less, right? The incentive is lower, right? That's a security problem, right? Watch. 25 BTC was mined every block from November 28, 2012 to July 9, 2016. When that last 25-BTC block was mined, the market value of 25 BTC was $16,274. 50 BTC in 2012: $619 25 BTC in 2016: $16,274 The value of the "lower" block reward in 2016 was greater than the "higher" block reward in 2012. The same pattern has repeated every Bitcoin halving cycle: 50 BTC in 2012: $619 25 BTC in 2016: $16,274 12.5 BTC in 2020: $107,522 6.25 BTC in 2024: $406,215 Stop looking at nominal value. Focus on market value. There is no incentive problem. There is no security problem. Do not let fiat institutions tell you otherwise.

At 18:31 UTC on September 24, 2026, Bitget’s security systems identified unauthorized transfers involving a limited number of hot wallets. Our security team immediately activated emergency response procedures and began a full investigation. Based on our current assessment, approximately $351.6 million in assets were affected. Bitget’s cold wallets and the overwhelming majority of platform assets remain secure and unaffected. Most importantly, user funds remain protected. The incident falls within the coverage of Bitget’s User Protection Fund, which currently holds more than $464 million. Customer account balances remain accurate, and deposits and trading continue to operate normally. As a precaution, withdrawals have been temporarily suspended while our teams complete a comprehensive security review. We have identified and flagged the relevant transfer addresses and have formally engaged law enforcement agencies and leading on-chain security partners. We are working around the clock to restore withdrawal services as soon as it is safe to do so. Bitget will provide further updates through our official channels. We will not speculate on the attack vector while the investigation remains ongoing. Our focus is on protecting users, securing all systems, and delivering complete transparency throughout this process.

At first, I thought there was actually some hope that you'd finally come back to your senses, but it seems like you're drifting further and further away. At this point, I think you're too far gone. You've succumbed to the madness. You're a full blown shitcoiner supporting a highly centralized, authoritarian, affinity coin. Let us know when you sell all your BTC (if you even had any left) and go all in on Blake.

If you can't bootstrap in an adversarial environment, then you don't deserve to exist.

There is next to no native transactions on the blakecoin network. Since there's no replay protection, what looks like activity on Blake is just transactions on the Bitcoin SHA-256 network being duplicated on blake. Here's an example. Bitcoin block #968203 Blake block #973712 This transaction ending in 592e0f is not a native blake trx. In fact, I went through all 6 trx in the blake block and none of them are native. It begs the question, how much actual volume is happening natively on this network. I would guess barely any. In order to figure that out, you'd need to find the transactions that only appear in Blake blocks but not in BTC blocks. As they diverge more and more and trx on BTC that spawn from ones that aren't on blake, the blake blocks will become more and more empty. I believe it will soon fizzle into nothing and show the real volume (which will probably just be a few hundred per day).

Node runners are forcing "miners" to be node runners also. It's working and the result will be more decentralised than anything else that exists. That's just the truth. Any bitcoiner who isn't following this is actually a shitcoiner.
