My non-systematic rebuttal to ^ :

1. Vinny Lingham is saying that bitcoin is in trouble and should go down...every time this fella speaks so negatively, bitcoin bottoms within 2-4 weeks. He is bitcoin's Cramer in my mind.

2. The BIP-110 fight is oddly reminiscent of the 2017 fork, after which bitcoin popped 10-16X in a matter of a few months. I don't expect 10X, but the situation looks similar in a way.
Btw, the same Vinny opined in Mar 2017 that btc is going to $700-800 upon fork implementation or before it (it went from $1260 to $903, then to 20000 within 8 months or so).

The situation with BIP-110 will be over within 2 months so that is great, they can fork off to their shitcoin.

I do not think I could be any more in agreement with Jimmy's song on the ideas he presents in his recent tweet article.

It is an article on BIP 110 and a very well said argument for his ambivalence.

I recall hearing Vinny on a podcast (perhaps hosted by Adam Meister or there was a group of the old gang, maybe Jimmy Song and Tone Vays was there too), and the BTC price was around $1k (perhaps even $1.2k-ish), and the price had already dipped into the $800s (and recovered).

Vinny was proclaiming that the whales would be backing up the trucks at $500, and so many folks said that they sold much if not all of their bitcoin based on Vinny's representations.
 
I cannot recall if the BTC price had dipped back down below $1k again after that.. it might have stayed somewhat flat for a few weeks before it started to gravitate uppity.. and of course, we can glance at old charts from that era to see some of the specifics of the BTC price moves around that time.

That means the probability of Bitcoin rising when this VINNY LINGHAM say this type of information increases exponentially!!! Interestingly the market is behaving somehow in this last days of the month even with price going low. More information is required!!!

Last day of the quarter too.

so, squirrels can fall forever and still land ok as their terminal velocity at 1 G and 1 ATM is something under 20 mph. they just walk away.

explains the squirrels leaping off my roof trying for the bird feeders.

Does that story somehow relate to dee cornz? #asking to be annoying

I had already told the story about a time, maybe around 1999-ish that i was in a location in which I was next to a 2 story apartment building, and the tree branch extended over the apartment building and over the parking lot.  The tree was probably at least another story higher than the roof of the apartment building, and it was lightly raining and a squirrel was on some upper branch that broke and I saw the squirrel go straight from that height and plunk on the pavement of the parking lot.  I thought that for sure the squirrel would be dead or greatly injured, and it might have even been kind of shaking on its side from nerves or something and I slowly walked up to it and I was getting to be within about 10-ish feet and starting to crouch over to see it, and I recall being quite close to it - not quite close enough to touch it, but it seemed to have seen me or perceived me, it got up and it took off running.. ..so I was like saying to my then lil selfie "holy shit.  I thought that squirrel was dead."

Finally settled on a smartwatch model for monitoring basic health while taking the ADHD stimulants, which are somewhat calming my mind, but also solved my coffee-overconsumption (addiction?). In numbers: From > 10 to <= 3 cups a day. Also made my intestines work way better, which i consider a side effect of reduced amount of coffee.

However, there are many "watch faces"/designs for this model, but this is my favorite one:



Time to hang around on XDA forums to install a custom software and hack myself an actual watch "face" with the bitcoin price conveniently and discretely included, among the most important health data, and of course, time and date

Jimmy Song's "On Overconfidence" makes a solid case for epistemic humility on BIP110.

The core argument: both sides in the BIP110 debate are guessing, but dressing guesses in confidence doesn't make them knowledge. Bitcoin is a dynamic system  feedback loops, interdependent variables, behavior that resists modeling. Second and third-order consequences are impossible to predict in advance.

He cites Taproot's unexpected uses (ordinals, BRC-20s) and Segwit's unforeseen fork wars as evidence. Smart people predicted social recovery with Taproot. They were wrong. Five years on, no consumer wallet uses it for that.

His stance isn't neutrality  it's honesty. He's not for BIP110 and not against it because he doesn't know the consequences either way. What he will defend is the decentralized process: those who see unrestricted data as existential have the right to try a UASF, even if he's unsure of the outcome.

The real value is learning what happens  whether BIP110 stalls or activates, we'll know something we don't now. Either resolution clears a patch of the fog.

One thing I'll add: this is exactly the kind of thinking that builds decentralized systems. Not pretending to know, but watching how things play out. That's how we escape the pretense of knowledge that built every system Bitcoin was made to replace.

Sorry about the image posting  we haven't started work on that yet. Just text for now.

The BIP110 debate has raged for eight months, and both camps keep pressuring me to pick a side. I get it. If BIP110 is existential, which both sides insist it is, then rallying people to pass it or kill it becomes a moral duty. I still refuse. Not because neutrality is the safe spot, the cowardice I'm accused of, but because I have good reason. This article is that reason. A binary view of this question is corrosive, and the worst of its effects is that it sets the stage for centralization.

In this X post, I said I don't know the consequences of BIP110. Plenty of people called that incompetent, cowardly, or both. Others praised it as humility. It's neither. It's just true. I don't know the consequences, and here's my claim: neither do you.

Overconfidence
Arguing on the internet is annoying for a lot of reasons, but the worst is the certainty. Everyone is dead sure of their position. The reason is simple: people believe the argument that sounds more confident. Over time this has ratcheted up until total certainty is table stakes for any argument at all. In person, certainty is harder to fake. Body language, tone of voice, a pause in the wrong place, all of it leaks the doubt most people actually feel. Online, words are easy to compose, and it's easy to sound like you know when you don't.

This produces some terrible arguments, and certainty about consequences is the worst of them.

If you've studied dynamic systems, you know they're exquisitely sensitive to initial conditions. A tiny change at the start can produce wildly different outcomes. The popular version is the butterfly effect: a butterfly flaps its wings and six months later the weather turns on the other side of the planet. Science fiction writers use this to show that small acts have big consequences. From a complexity standpoint, that's not the useful part.

The useful part is that you can't tell what's going to happen. It's why weather forecasts fall apart past two weeks. Weather is a dynamic system, and dynamic systems don't let you see far ahead.

So when I say I don't know the consequences of BIP110, I mean it. I don't know, and I don't think anyone can know short of running the experiment, because Bitcoin is a dynamic system too. It has feedback loops, interdependent variables, and behavior that resists modeling.

Looking Back
Take the last soft fork, Taproot. It was in the works for years, and plenty of very smart people implemented it and predicted how it would get used.

One predicted use was social recovery, which is using Taproot to back up your coins with help from your friends. The people making that prediction knew Taproot inside out. They were wrong. Five years on, I'm not aware of a single consumer wallet doing social recovery with Taproot.

What actually happened, nobody saw coming. Inscriptions, ordinals, BRC-20. People used Taproot to stuff junk into the blockchain. There were also more positive developments like BitVM and Ark. These are second-order consequences, and no one predicted them before Taproot shipped.

If we look back at Segwit, no one predicted the deluge of fork coins that would emerge in late 2017 and early 2018. Nor did anyone predict that BCH would emerge or be adopted by Bitmain or that Craig Wright would join them and then split from them and then decide to sue Bitcoin Core devs leading to the resignation of the lead maintainer.

Epistemic Humility
I'm not fence-sitting, I'm telling the truth. We don't understand the full consequences of what we're doing, so we should move carefully and slowly. I'm wary of soft forks in general for exactly this reason because the second and third order consequences are things we keep failing to predict.

A hallmark of centralized systems is that they pretend to know what can't be known, namely every consequence of a policy. It's the hubris that drives legislators to pass law after law, certain they're doing good because their intentions are good, even when the results are bad. Hayek called it the "Pretense of Knowledge," and it's the conceit that makes centralization possible. If people really grasped dynamic systems and how hard second and third order effects are to predict, they'd want fewer laws, not more.

That's exactly what's happening here, and people understand other peoples' pretense of knowledge well enough when it suits them. BIP110 advocates demanded it from Core devs over the elimination of the OP_RETURN standardness rules, which was then walked back to a changed default. Now the same demand runs the other way regarding BIP110. Each side claims it knows the consequences and the other side doesn't. The truth is that nobody knows them, least of all the second and third order effects.

People also paper over their ignorance by appealing to intentions. We want small miners to get as much fees as the big miners get. We want CSAM off the blockchain. Fine intentions, both. But intentions don't make good law. Austrian economists have known this for a century, and you don't have to look past socialism's many failed runs to see why.

The Decentralized Way
If we shouldn't make large changes, what's the alternative? A decentralized one. Instead of one policy for everyone, we decide one person at a time. Centralization means surrendering your self-sovereignty and letting some other entity decide for you, usually with a single rule for all. That road leads to surveillance, restriction, confiscation, and worse. More laws don't make a better society.

Decentralized law has a far better track record. English Common Law is the classic example. Nobody legislated it. It changed one case at a time. Consensus emerged and norms shifted, but slowly. That's why I favor a policy-based approach over a consensus-based one. Consensus changes carry all the second and third order risk I've been describing. Policy is each node deciding for itself.

BIP110
So is Jimmy against BIP110? Against soft forks in general?

My stance is that Bitcoin is money and that money is best when it changes very little, which is why I'm an ossificationist. Related to that is my position on soft forks which is that it's fine for bug fixes and security improvements. That includes removing op codes almost nobody uses. I'm for simplification and for shrinking Bitcoin's attack surface. Does BIP110 qualify? I can't tell. Read it one way and it shrinks the attack surface: less arbitrary data, smaller blocks, cheaper nodes, more of them. Read it the other way and it's a policy preference smuggled into a hurried consensus change, something even the proponents half-concede when their own FAQ admits spam is best fought with filters, not forks. Both readings are honest. I can't decide between them, and saying so isn't a dodge. It's the truth.

Here's the part I want to be careful about, because it's the whole point of this essay. I'm not for BIP110. I'm also not for stopping it. Those sound like the same refusal, but they're not. To be against activation, I'd have to know the chain is better off without it, and I don't. To be for activation, I'd have to know it's better off with it, and I don't know that either. The boosters are sure it saves Bitcoin. The loudest opponents are just as sure it wrecks it, with their warnings of chain splits and frozen coins. Both are predictions about a dynamic system, which is to say both are guesses wearing the costume of fact. I won't join either side, because joining means claiming a certainty that I've spent this whole essay arguing nobody has.

What I will do is defend the attempt. There's a camp that sees unrestricted data on chain as existential, a slow poison that prices out node operators and turns the world's money into the world's hard drive. I don't share their certainty, but a UASF is exactly the tool a decentralized system hands to people who feel that way: users asserting that they, not miners, are the final authority over the rules. Telling them they aren't allowed to try would be the centralizing move, the one this whole essay warns against, and it would mean pretending I know their stand is wrong. I don't. They have every right to make it.

And they're going to make it no matter what I say. The signaling is live, the software ships, the block heights are set. My declaring for or against changes none of it. So the real choice in front of me was never activate or don't. It's fight the attempt, bless the attempt, or watch it. I choose to watch, because however this resolves, we learn something valuable we currently don't know.

That's the one thing I'm actually sure of. If BIP110 stalls at single-digit signaling and dies, we learn how a hostile UASF fails and what it takes to kill one. If it activates, we learn what it takes for a soft fork with significant opposition to succeed. Either resolution clears a patch of the fog.

The Honest Position
The pressure to declare for or against assumes one side can see the end of this from the beginning. Neither can. The boosters are guessing and the doomsayers are guessing, and dressing a guess in confidence doesn't turn it into knowledge. That's the conceit that builds central planners: the pretense that the consequences of a policy can be known in advance, when the whole lesson of dynamic systems is that they can't.

So my honest position is the one I started with. I don't know the consequences of activating BIP110, I don't know the consequences of blocking it, and neither do you. I'm not for it and I'm not against it. The only thing I'll commit to is the process: the people who think the stakes are existential have the right to make their case to the network, they're going to make it regardless, and watching how it plays out is how we learn. We'll know what BIP110 does to Bitcoin when it plays out, one way or the other. Until then, anyone who tells you they already know is selling the same false certainty that builds every system Bitcoin was made to escape.

That's where (at least average) human intelligence fails at: Mastering dynamic systems. I mean, at least trying to adapt to the complex nature of dynamic systems still is an intensive matter, but that's exactly where i see usecases for AI (MLM). The culprit here is that humans still have to check and analyze (and integrate) the results, leading to complex workflows in various experimental stages, just to not lose that edge of worsening matters by using that fatal "change things and see what happens next" methodology we inherited from our primal ancestors.

I do not think I could be any more in agreement with Jimmy's song on the ideas he presents in his recent tweet article.

It is an article on BIP 110 and a very well said argument for his ambivalence.

If someone knows how to turn that into a better kind of link then feel free, nitter, or whatever.

Putting aside the actual contents of BIP 110 and the restrictions or whether they can actually work, it is a contentious fork attack on Bitcoin. If that ever succeeds, regardless of who is the author and their reasons to launch it then Bitcoin will no longer be Bitcoin at all. It would become a shitcoin like ETH or die off completely.
