desertdave collecting hot takes on the incident. Link-and-comment thread held as a sample of community sentiment. Captured through the site's public GraphQL API: the rendered pages crash the capture tab, and the API answers POST from this host. The query fixes the captured surface to the item's title, text and two levels of comments, each with author and absolute timestamp.

Every check is recorded, including checks that found no text change. A detected edit is therefore bounded between two checks. The publisher's exact save time is not observable from this record. Last checked 7 Aug 2026, 00:05 UTC.

            "text": "Hey Dave nice to meet you.  I can’t say I differ too much from what you said. I don’t know what the truth is but I definitely noticed a shift with the Ten31 team. \n\nOne disagreement I have is about hoarding. If you believe in property rights, freedom, and free markets then hoarding doesn’t really exist. If someone acquires something and they never want to sell till they die that’s their right!  People shouldn’t be forced to sell anything they don’t want to especially if the market isn’t giving them a good reason to spend their bitcoin.",

            "text": "I agree the primary use case for Bitcoin is spending.\nThe more we use Bitcoin the stronger it will be.\nThe more it will be a viable alternative to the fiat debt slavery regime.\nCoinos is my favourite LN wallet because it is easy to use and has very low fees.\nAdam the guy who operates it seems to be genuinely motivated to enable as many people as possible to have access to LN.\nAt the same time I have hoarded BTC because I did not want to leave my money in the bank as fiat.\nBTC gave me the opportunity to have much more direct custody of my savings and that is why I moved most of my savings to BTC as soon as I realised this was possible.\nYou do not need a proprietary HW- I was always highly suspect of these highly touted devices- they take away from your direct control- they mediate and promise security but you are trusting the provider and paying them for the surrender of your monetary sovereignty.\nInstead you can DIY your own cold storage, easily and securely by using -\n\n1- A linux OS on a usb stick- \nhttps://www.fosslinux.com/10212/how-to-install-a-complete-ubuntu-on-a-usb-flash-drive.htm\n\n2- Read and understand and apply DIY cold storage via Electrum \nhttps://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/coldstorage.html\n\nFor onchain funds only use a Linux OS.\nFor LN I use Coinos via linux and via a cheap android phone when out and about away from linux laptop - the sums are small so security is less important.\n\nYou are still reliant upon trusting Electrum but these guys have proven track record of providing a secure as possible wallet.\n\nSo I largely agree with you @desertdave - use and spend sats, if you have savings move them to sats. I am retired and free to be doing everything I ever dreamed of because of Bitcoin- it has enabled me to live the dream because it provides me direct sovereignty over my savings- I dont have to go plead to a bank how I spend my money. Fuck the banks.\n\nOnly thing I want to see is more people using sats for payment- so I can spend sats, not have to convert back to fiat so much.",
