You can't force a miner to include a transaction

I find Pieter Wuille's argument to be quite compelling:

"The alternative is that millions of BTC become vulnerable to theft; I cannot see how the currency can maintain any value at all in such a setting. And this affects everyone; even those which diligently moved their coins to PQC-protected schemes."

The idea that millions of bitcoin will flow to a single thief (with immense resources, who wields a powerful supercomputer) is a bit unsettling. But I'm not totally sold yet - a lot of drawbacks.

Wow, wasn't expecting a one liner!

@ek how are you counting comments?

Do you really think nations care about how some citizens feel about them holding bitcoin? You don't think they will do anything to stay alive? To preserve power?

Just seems a bit naive.

That's right.

Many nations.

Hold real bitcoin and thus enforce the scarcity of bitcoin. Hold the private key yourself. Using bitcoin any other way enables an attack on the 21M supply limit.

Don't attack me bro!

Top comment gets 25k sats, you say?

I'm coming in with 2,500 comments at the last moment!

I'll pay out in sats, as long as someone doesn't add 1M CCs to the pot lol

Excellent idea :)

Wow! Excellent!

This experiment will indeed end. You just need to stop commenting

No, of course not! Who could foresee this

I have the entire 100k pot locked up in a 200% apy shipcoin yield scheme! I can't withdraw until 2028, so I need the experiment to last that long
