The Bitcoin Core GitHub repo was long ago hijacked by the for profit company, Blockstream. Every update made since their takeover has hurt the core principal of Bitcoin, which is to be peer to peer digital cash, a replacement for Visa-like daily payments.

bitcoin has no usecase as 'digital cash' anyway. plenty of other coins fill that role better for years now.

The main bitcoin network at least. Bitcoin can still be used as digital cash (and one that holds it's value better than any other), but transferred on a different network e.g. lightning

Could you decide whether you want cash or visa-like payments?

Cash transactions are more or less irreversible. Visa is very much not final until at least months after the fact.

What exactly did you mean by these misogynistic posts, and why did you post them publically under your name, Kyle Benzle? Do you still stand by your own words, Kyle? You have to set showdead=true to see the evidence at the links, of course.

You are way off base if you think this is anything other than a story about uncovering a woman lying on the Internet about her photos for attention. Only mystery is why women are so willing to lie even when it's so obvious they are doing so.

But please, keep trying to swing your arms around in hundredth second intervals to try and recreate the fake.

Does your recent bankruptcy as a result of a multimillion dollar court judgement against you make you feel emboldened to make maliciously false ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38549409 ) claims on hacker news?

Do your bankruptcy creditors know about your 'investments' in Bitcoin competitors that you're promoting here?
