It’s time to wake the fuck up
There was a time when Adam Back and the Blockstream Bloodgang openly discussed the possibilities of scaling.¹ ²
They spoke of a new world economy that sent money so fast that it appeared instant to the human eye. Money that was so cheap to transfer that the fee was insignificant.
They spoke openly of larger blocks, of miners that also ran listening nodes because they were profiting from both.
They spoke of nodes that were maintained because the data they stored was valuable to people.
The Blockchain was built to store data. All kinds of data.
Imagine an immutable history book that contained every detail of every transaction and interaction between every human and machine on the planet.
And then imagine being able to scrape that data, learn from it, and use it to solve more and more complex problems.
This is why you run a non-mining node that downloads the blockchain.
It’s so you can sell access to valuable information and earn a profit. Not so that you can be a “good bitcoin samaritan” (whatever the fuck that means).
An example of why all kinds of data on the blockchain is a good thing:
Imagine a Future Alexa that can do almost anything you ask it to do while having proprietary ownership over the data it contained… If an advertiser or 3rd party wanted your Alexa information, they would have to come to an agreement with you. They would pay you for your data.
Early Bitcoiners talked about a Bitcoin that would change the world.
But somewhere along the way the dream was shattered.
Developers out of the BTC camp began telling us that the greatest invention in the history of mankind could not scale, should not scale — and then decided that they would not scale it.
“Keep the block size low!” They screamed. “Hold the gates!”
The developers of BTC stopped the people from adopting bitcoin by making it virtually useless.
They used propaganda to perpetuate their murderous “updates” to the bitcoin code.
They got rid of OP_Return by saying any data on chain that is not transaction data is spam.
They censored us. They told us what we could and could not post to the bitcoin blockchain.
They kept the blocksize so low that it could only be used for 5 transactions per second. If the blocksize limit is removed completely, bitcoin becomes capable of infinite transactions per second.
They say they want to keep Bitcoin “decentralized” by protecting listening nodes from having to download files that are too large for the layperson.
Yet everyone knows that the chain with the most hashpower becomes the primary chain, not the one with the most nodes.
I can only speculate as to why the Blockstream and Core teams would want to stop bitcoin from being bitcoin. I only know that they do.
They want to murder bitcoin.
But bitcoin won’t be stopped.
Bitcoin SV is the resurgence of bitcoin. Read the words of _unwriter in his article The resolution of the Bitcoin Cash experiment.
It is a return to Bitcoin v0.1 as Satoshi had originally released it — adding a few minor tweaks to enable more usecases and scaling.
The nChain crew has a very simple and specific plan.
They are going to return Bitcoin to the original protocol as delivered by its creator — Satoshi Nakamoto. Then they are going to scale this motherfucker. For business, for government, for finance, for every single industry.
Bitcoin at scale will disrupt every major corporation and entity of power that is built on exploiting human beings. It will destroy the middle man. It will create truly free, open markets––where everything is valued at a price the market sets.
This is the holy grail.
And, if you read this far, you now understand why I no longer care about the Craig Wright drama, and whether or not he is Satoshi.
The entire debate is irrelevant–– it has nothing to do with the technology.
The tech is not just sound, it’s world-balancing.
I’m talking full blown nut in your pants game changing.
They will try to censor me for this. They will call me a dumb, scam cartoon character BSV shill. They will tell you to unfollow me when I am only here to learn and help learn.
These guys are real bullies about this shit. Which is obnoxious, because the BTC guys are the ones that fucked it all up in the first place.
Don’t get caught up arguing with robots on Twitter about which bitcoin is the real bitcoin.
Go out there and find out for yourself.
This is what Twetch is about.
We are about to show the world what BitCoin is capable of.
This will likely be my last article on Medium. I wrote it here to reach a larger audience. If you want to read my stuff in the future I will be writing it to BitCoin and posting it on chain to live forever. Thank you for your time.
