I sat there & watched the fork live. It was exactly what I expected to happen, but at least I can say that I stood up & voted for what I thought was best for #Bitcoin. I still believe it would have been a better result for the miners to have soft forked, but it is what it is. 🫠

I have already reverted to the last version of #Knots before mandatory #BIP110 so that my node isn't stalled & I can continue to support the network. I will still never run #Core again. 💁‍♂️

I will also still not be relaying any OP_RETURN transactions above 83 bytes because I still believe spam harms the network & I refuse to be an active part of the problem. 🤷‍♂️

I truly hoped that #BTC would be able to find its way back to something that more closely resembles what I signed up for originally; we are still VERY FAR from grace, IMO. 😢

I look forward to another solution, but I also fear that this may have been our last chance to retain ownership of that which was rightfully bestowed to us by #Satoshi. 😭

I guess we'll have to wait & see; tick tock, next block. 🤙

🚨 FORK WAR MIGHT ALREADY BE OVER 🚨

Apparently someone slipped an entire copy of #Bitcoin #Core v30 into a #BIP110 signaling #BTC block. 🫪

If this is true, it's officially over for #Knots. 🫠

Can anyone verify the validity of this? 👀

I'm tired, boss; going to get drunk. 🤙

🚨 THE SUITS ARE COMING 🚨

I used to be DEEP in the trenches of CT (Crypto Twitter) for YEARS as a toxic Bitcoin maxi analyst when the original #BlackRock Spot #Bitcoin ETF filing/prospectus dropped back in 2023. I remember reading this & thinking, "What the fuck are these guys even talking about?": 🤷‍♂️

I thought that the suits were out of touch because at that point in time, we had left forks so FAR in the past that another one was not even a consideration for anyone in the space. Yet here we are in 2026, on the cusp of the #Core / #Knots #BIP110 fork war. 🫠

This is IMMENSELY concerning & I am in the middle of writing a think piece that isn't ready for publication yet, but in the next few days I will be addressing all this shit in a very comprehensive manner. 💁‍♂️

I have direct experiences & historical insights that most people on #Nostr who haven't been in the #BTC space for as long as I have need to be aware of in order to make informed decisions about what I believe is coming down the pipeline. 👀

We can win this, but it requires action; stay tuned. 🤙
