Spam filters doing what they were always obviously capable of doing.
I cannot have confidence in a system where people deny basic, observable facts whilst having massive influence over its direction.
Fake-multisig spam that filled ~75% of BLAKE2b block space in mid-October has nearly vanished.
- Peak ~45 MB/day (Oct 13);
- 0.03–0.3 MB/day since Nov 3, below pre-wave baseline.
Knots 29.4.3 (Oct 28) shipped the coinbase-maturity soft fork alongside a policy rule targeting fake-multisig.
The decline began Oct 25, before the release as pools upgraded ahead of activation.

People who truly understand Bitcoin did not have funds stolen in the hack and have zero interest in the government’s protection. Any ability to seize funds or freeze transactions is ripe for abuse.

“There will only ever be 21 million bitcoin” is stupid and the only reason you believe it is reputation and trust in authority.
Someone with a lot of clout sounds certain about it? Must be true.
“But incentives” …are you serious.
The irony of Bitcoin maxis studying Austrian economics, understanding the Cantillon effect, history of monetary debasement, and how the powerful profit from controlling money… only to insist those same institutions will never find it profitable to inflate Bitcoin.

Scamcoins ARE automatically hostile to Bitcoin. They cheat people, and make Bitcoin look bad by association and affinity fraud. Anyone dealing in scamcoins is not a friend to Bitcoin.

Watch how institutional power is not merely normalized, but openly celebrated in Bitcoin's social layer.
Wealth, status, access, and proximity to power are elevated, while Bitcoin's founding principles, including sovereignty and the separation of money and state, are ridiculed.
The values of the fiat system Bitcoin was created to challenge are being repackaged as Bitcoin's path to success.
On November 5, Mars Spits Bars takes this worldview to BTC Inc's Bitcoin Amsterdam, on a Whale Pass-only panel titled:
“BIG BITCOIN: IN CONTROL?”
The CAPTURE articles documents the institutional relationships and mechanisms of influence.
Bitcoin's social layer is the final line of defense against complete institutional capture.
But if that very social layer is being conditioned to celebrate institutional power, ridicule principled opposition, and attack those exposing its concentration, who exactly is left to resist it?

@Convoy_Mining just crossed @TwhitNub101 in hashrate...!!!!
Let's see if Convoy holds this position for a long time or not (especially after 1 year CBM softfork)
LFG 🚀🚀🚀

CAPTURE Part 4: THE MACHINE
The fourth and final installment is out.
Bitcoin Magazine wasn’t just covering the fight over Bitcoin’s future. Its parent operated an Ordinals trading desk, invested in businesses tied to the ecosystem, and maintained editorial policies that exempted parts of that same business.
Then came an $80,000/month marketing contract, with an option for Nakamoto Inc. to buy BTC Inc at a valuation tied to its earnings, in a window that included the OP_RETURN fight. Nakamoto exercised the option.
Readers were not consistently told about these commercial relationships.
A documented investigation into the commercial interests and media infrastructure surrounding the Bitcoin Core controversy.

PSA to Ledger owners. This is apparently larger than just CryptoBills.
If you haven't addressed the Spamcoin airdrop yet, be careful not to lose your bitcoins in a kneejerk attempt to save funds. (ie, don't just send them to some exchange that will rug you!)
Update from Ledger Donjon on the CryptoBilis investigation 🔽
@DonjonLedger is investigating Ledger signers sold by CryptoBilis, a reseller in Southeast Asia, that contained an unauthorized hardware implant. Ledger confirmed this on October 10th for one affected user's signer. All confirmed fund losses tied to the incident disclosed on October 9th involve signers sold through CryptoBilis. We have not verified a drain linked to a signer bought elsewhere. CryptoBilis has confirmed it stopped selling Ledger signers while the investigation continues.
Based on the Donjon's analysis of the attack, the implant sits inside the enclosure and reads the data shown on the screen. During setup, the signer displays the 24-word recovery phrase. When the implant detects these screens, its microcontroller decodes the words and transmits them over LTE using a provisioned eSIM. The implant is a separate component. It does not modify the Secure Element or the Ledger operating system, and it does not alter transactions or signatures.
The Donjon will analyze the signers it receives and will share more as the investigation continues.
We have not confirmed the total number of affected users or the total value lost. Figures circulating online come from third parties and Ledger has not fully verified them. If your funds were drained and you have not contacted us, please do so through Ledger Support so we can include your case. We are also reviewing reports of implants in other signers and locations. We will continue to share information as the investigation progresses. Rest assured the Ledger team is going above and beyond to leave no stone unturned to investigate this situation to the strongest possible outcome.
If you bought a Ledger signer from CryptoBilis and have not set it up, do not set it up and contact Ledger Support. If you have set it up, transfer your assets promptly to a new signer with a new recovery phrase. Do not enter or restore any recovery phrase on a signer bought from CryptoBilis. Never enter your recovery phrase into a website, app or form.
If you lost funds or hold a tampered signer, contact Ledger Support at support.ledger.com and file a report with local law enforcement. Do not send the signer to anyone before speaking with Ledger Support or local law enforcement. If you lost funds, coordinate with law enforcement before opening the signer. Researchers and others with relevant information can write to [email protected].
If you did not buy from CryptoBilis and want to inspect the inside of your signer, the guide is at support.ledger.com/article/4…. Use caution and make sure your recovery phrase is backed up first, because opening a signer can damage it.
Ledger will never call you, message you directly, or ask for your 24-word recovery phrase. We will update this post when we verify new information.
