00:00In the ever-evolving world of Bitcoin, where decentralization is the heartbeat of the network,
00:04one voice cuts through the noise with an yielding clarity.
00:06Samson Moe, the CEO of JN3 and a relentless advocate for nation-state Bitcoin adoption,
00:11has made a bold declaration. He will not run Bitcoin Core version 30. Why? Because in his eyes,
00:17this upgrade isn't just a technical tweak, it's a trojan horse threatening the very integrity of
00:21the world's most secure money. Samson Moe isn't alone in this stance. Drawing from his deep roots
00:26is a software developer and Bitcoin maximalist, he sees V30's controversial changes for what they are,
00:31a removal of the 80-byte limit on IP return outputs. This policy shift, slipped into the release without
00:37broad consensus, opens the floodgates for spam on the peer-to-peer network. Transactions that were
00:41once filtered out can now propagate freely, bloating blocks, raising fees, and eroding the efficiency
00:46that makes Bitcoin unstoppable. Moe calls it out plainly, the core developers have compromised
00:50the reference implementation, turning it from a guardian of scarcity into a vector for abuse.
00:54They are compromised, Moe states unequivocally in his recent discussion. This isn't fear-mongering,
00:59it's a wake-up call from someone who's built fleets of Bitcoin infrastructure and advised
01:03governments on stacking sats. Upgrading to V30 means inviting chaos into your node. It means
01:08prioritizing our vetted changes over the hard-won principles of load-time preference and sound money.
01:13Moe's decision echoes a growing chorus, Jimmy's song won't upgrade, node operators are ditching core for
01:18alternatives like Bitcoin-nots, and the community is rallying around hash run-nots and hash ditch core.
01:22But here is the beauty of Bitcoin, it's ungovernable. You don't need permission to protect the network.
01:28Samson Moe's announcement isn't a surrender, it's a blueprint for sovereignty.
01:32Run-nots. Maintain that OP return relay filter. Keep your node lean, mean, and true to Satoshi's vision.
01:38As Moe reminds us, Bitcoin isn't about following the HUD, it's about leading the charge toward a happy
01:42Bitcoinized future. Samson Moe has drawn his line in the sand. Now it's your turn. Upgrade wisely,
01:49or don't upgrade at all. The network thanks you. Bitcoin enduce.
