Consequently, I was using Redlib to look around on Reddit while watching the UFC event from China today, and the r\/bitcoin group was pretty pathetic. And we see why with moderator censorship. And I had happened to look around on Bitcointalk as well, not much interesting activity there either. The only way to get decent information is with certain YouTube channels. And the point about how expensive it is to run a node today is on point, and why BIP110 is so important, while also showcasing the attack on Bitcoin with all the SPAM transactions started in 2023 with taproot. And it&#8217;s even more expensive if you need to hold the UTXO bloat in ram for mining. This has all been part of a nefarious attack on Bitcoin which I believe was purposeful, as well as co-opting the Bitcoin Core Devs, all to drive nodes towards centralization. The last attack with the Bitcoin Cash hard fork was a similar scheme which the community defeated. So will the opensource Bitcoin experiment defeat this hostile takeover and drive towards centralization?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Banned from Reddit\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6owm0q9ciC8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good commentary on social media platforms.
