A fascinating convo between Satoshi and Gavin
1/ I discovered a fascinating convo between Satoshi and Gavin, 2010.

Gavin immediately identified the dangers of scripting that we're seeing today; but Satoshi said it could be mitigated. pic.twitter.com/su2pJzknkQ
2/ It's clear Satoshi didnt want this activity on mainchain. He thought fees and "other things" could limit what we're seeing now.
β Monegro (@BawdyAnarchist_) May 9, 2023
It seems clear tha BTC has now failed in the design intention, which was to enable scripting while limiting arbitrary data/extensibility.

Bitcoin seriously needs to stop being so dogmatic
It's sad that Bitcoin Core developers had years to solve the blockspace issue and still did nothing. Saw some very old friends drop out of crypto this week because of how hopeless it looks. I don't like chain politics but Bitcoin seriously needs to stop being so dogmatic β ASAP.

US inflation is not improving
The headline inflation number is falling, but donβt be fooled β inflation is getting worse.
β Pomp πͺ (@APompliano) May 10, 2023
Inflation actually INCREASED 0.4% month-over-month.
This is a major problem.
The headline number is falling because of the base effect.
β Pomp πͺ (@APompliano) May 10, 2023
Inflation was so high last year that the year-over-year growth looks low.
But inflation is not improving.
We are living in an economy that has compounded inflation at ~5% annually for 3 years now.

This is completely unsustainable for the average American family.
