It has been 5 years since the great consensus cleanup softfork was proposed. The majority of bitcoiners have joined after that and are likely unfamiliar with it or the some of the dramatic things that could occur without these fixes.

PoW is fundamentally more decentralized and censorship-resistant than PoS. With PoW, cheap energy is the strongest determining factor in participating in transaction selection. With PoS, wealth is the determining factor. Cheap energy is far more distributed than wealth.

If you own 0.28 BTC and HODL, you can be certain no more than 1% of the current world's population can EVER own more BTC than you. A modest investment of $1,830 today can ensure you are a 1%er in a future Bitcoin world.

Sound money requires a credible and predictable monetary policy. Bitcoin's has never changed in its 13 year history. We can all confidently know what bitcoin's policy will be in 20 years. What will Ethereum's policy be in 20 years? We have no idea.

Want to learn why BOLT 12 is important for bitcoin payments? Why the timing is now to become the standard payment protocol used for the open bitcoin monetary network? Who is adopting it first and what the next steps are for everyone else?

Politicians should love Lightning Network: 1. It is financially inclusive, providing economic empowerment by scaling bitcoin to millions. 2. It is green, dramatically decreasing energy consumed per payment by spreading many payments over a single PoW-mined transaction.

BTCPay's mission is non-custodial solutions for merchants. LN scales bitcoin to more payments. But most merchants don't run their own servers. Yet non-custodial mobile LN is HARD. LDK enables this! BTCPay + LDK is a great marriage. 2023-2024 Build 2024-2025 Optimize 2025-2026 🚀

One thing I've observed from Bitcoin Optech is how diluted the efforts by most crypto companies are due to supporting dozens or hundreds of tokens. River's focus on bitcoin will put it in a position of strength.
