I need to talk about distributing BTC funds to truckers. This is a complex topic, and aspects of it are quite counter-intuitive. First, let's start with what a protest actually is, and what it accomplishes:

Coinbase should not be hiring people with a history of backdooring software. Even if you're ok with working with them hiring people who have worked with murderous authoritarian regimes, backdooring software is a security risk.

Nonsense like this is one reason why I stopped returning emails from Coindesk reporters years ago. You could easily read the article and not realize this is a court battle over an asset that more likely than not doesn't exist. Gets Coindesk more clicks. But very dishonest.

Any time you see someone calculating Bitcoin's energy usage like this they're either incompetent or a fraud. That major mainstream media organizations are reporting on this is a scathing indictment of the MSM. It's simply fake news; to publish is either incompetence or fraud.

Oh my god it gets better. They estimate bitcoin's energy usage by taking the total energy cost of bitcoin and dividing that by the number of transactions in 2017, and then extrapolating that figure to **314 billion transactions**.

Austrian health authorities are likely timing their lockdowns to coincide with when they expected cases to go down anyway due to seasonal effects, etc. That's fraudulently taking credit for something they had nothing to do with. No different than shamens taking credit for rain.

In my @WhatBitcoinDid interview I mentioned how Bitcoin should have had a 0.1% or 1% monetary inflation tax to pay for security. Something I didn't mention - and should have - is I think the 21 million BTC limit is so fundamental it's more likely Bitcoin will die than change it.

FYI I turned down an invite by @InstituteCrypto to speak at HCPP later this month, because they're doing mandatory covid testing at the door _not_ required by govt. Pretending COVID-19 is that level of threat is ultimately fear mongering anti-vaxxery. The world needs to move on.

Why is full-rbf in the news? Because devs are trying to remove this option from the upcoming Bitcoin Core v24.0 release. Even in testnet! What's full-rbf? Accepting the tx with the highest fee into mempools and blocks. It's the obvious, profit-maximizing behavior. Thread:

tl;dr: vaccinating after infection is a bad idea. Guess what? The vaccine safety trials excluded people with prior infections. That's not incompetence. That's obvious fraud. And it means the ~50% of you who have already been infected are the subjects of a massive experiment.
