RT Lori Singer Meyer (@Loriss65)It's the immutability of the Blockchain that is the real problem regarding CSAM - you don't have to shut down the entire internet if you find internet CSAM or sex death videos or the like. The CSAM has to be stopped, as well as other potentially illegal files, before it gets mined in a block. Period. I don't think filters after the fact will ultimately be enough, because the mined block on the chain still holds the illegal asset.I really really really would like to know any l ...
BlackRock Now Controls Bitcoin's Future

Imagine waking up to find that the fundamental rule of Bitcoin was about to be completely rewritten. Imagine a handful of developers altering the blockchain's history to recover billions in lost funds. It sounds like a dystopian nightmare. >> Dystopian nightmare >> concocted by a central bank.But on the 27th of February, this exact scenario was proposed for the world's largest cryptocurrency. It threatened to shatter the illusion of absolute immutability and split the entire network in two. Wow.My name is L ...
Something's Going Seriously Wrong In Bitcoin (Or is it?)
Bitcoin Bram· 2026-02-05 17:00
In a world of NPCs and centralized control, the most radical thing that you can do is to reclaim your own agency. In this episode, I'm joined by Eric Yakes, Bitcoin VC and the author of the seventh property. We move past number go up and discuss the monetary revolution that Bitcoin brings. We explore how immutability is the only thing that can fix our corrupted relationship with value and why Bitcoin AI and personal hardware are merging to create a world where you no longer have to trade your freedom for co ...

If Bitcoin breaks, the lesson isn’t necessarily that crypto is dead - it’s that immutability doesn’t survive a dynamic world.A *digital* SoV has to adapt.Assuming demand for a digital SoV, BTC flows could migrate to the most transparently governed & upgraded ledger(s).Vishal Kankani (@kankanivishal):This is wrong from a quantum perspective.If Bitcoin breaks, institutional trust in all crypto breaks. It took ~15 years for institutions to accept BTC, and that trust is in the crypto monetary system—not in one ...

RT The Book of Ethereum 📘 (@Bookof_Eth)This is exactly why blockchains must not be treated like content platforms.Immutability is a feature for settlement, proof, and coordination - not for hosting arbitrary legible content. Once data is on-chain, deletion is not a policy choice, it’s a protocol failure.The path forward is architectural clarity:• Minimize on-chain legible content• Use commitments, hashes, proofs - not raw data• Offload expression to layers designed for mutability• Embrace privacy, encryptio ...

Core Principles of Layer 1 (L1) Blockchain Design - L1 should prioritize minimalism and economic disincentives against abuse, including tight data limits, escalating fees, and predictable pruning, treating each extra byte as a systemic liability [1] - L1 should focus on cash-grade facts only, such as UTXOs, signatures, fees, and block headers, excluding galleries, blobs, and politics [4] - L1's primary functions are finality and fungibility [5] Risk Management and Sovereignty - The industry should consider legal entropy per byte, which compounds across borders, necessitating near-zero jurisdiction-adjusted entropy on L1 to maintain composable sovereignty [2] - Chains that invite arbitrary payloads are fragilized, as one illicit file can chill an entire network, while one clean invariant allows permissionless value transfer [2] Layered Architecture and Functionality - The industry advocates separating concerns, making the settlement layer surgically narrow, rather than stuffing speech into money [3] - Expression should be pushed outward, with contracts to L2, content to content-nets (Nostr/IPFS/etc), and proofs back to L1 [4] - L2 should focus on programmability, while L3 should handle content and culture [5]

Project Strategy & Goals - The project is prioritizing building a killer product instead of decentralization [2] - The project founder is incentivized to build, unlike previous projects without personal incentives [2] Tokenomics & Fundraising - The project is raising funds and has founder/team tokens [2] - Founder and team tokens are vested behind buybacks [2] Founder's Role & Incentives - The founder has a token allocation and is actively involved, contrasting with previous projects where the founder aimed to decentralize and walk away [2] - The founder is optimizing for product development with incentives [2] Previous Project Comparison - Previous projects focused on decentralization and immutability, aiming for a founderless approach [1] - Previous projects had no token allocation, fundraising, fees, or licenses for the founder [1]

Decentralization & Security - The ledger is fully decentralized, ensuring no single entity controls it [1] - Immutability guarantees data integrity and prevents tampering [1] Tokenomics - The ledger has a hard cap, limiting the total supply [1] - Fair launch ensures equitable distribution [1] Privacy - Optional privacy features are available [1]
