Would you accept a 1:1 trade for BTC to eCash? If not at what ratio would you currently accept such a trade?

After the fork, do you plan on holding on to the majority of your btc coins?

Doesn't seem much like gambling if you are planning on leaving the non BIP 110 anyway.

If there is a chain split where one chain is BIP 110 compliant and the other is not, will you trade me you non BIP 110 coins for my BIP 110 coins at a 1:1 ratio? If not, what ratio will you be willing to accept?

I worry that people don't really want what Bitcoin has to offer. They want credit cards and bank accounts that are easier to use, not money that without third parties.

Do you think that trend will turn around? What might lead to a renewed interest in Bitcoin?

My feeling is that the treasury companies sucked all the momentum out of bitcoin.

Do you feel like Bitcoin adoption is increasing?

What do you think about all the talk about quantum computers? Should we be moving more quickly on getting quantum safe cryptography in Bitcoin?

if bip110 doesn't get very much hashrate supporting it, what happens next? after september?

What do you think about the alt layer 2s like cashu, spark, liquid, and ark?

That is your opinion. What will you do when a group of bitcoin users decide that your utxos are bloat and causing harm?

Anyone who competes with me for blockspace causes me harm. Anyone who makes a transaction of any kind adds bytes to my node's drive.

You think this is clear cut. I think there will come a time when people say it is clear cut that certain monetary transactions are harmful.

How do you not see where this leads?

Even if it is significantly less, it worries me that we are setting this precedent: some valid Bitcoin transactions aren't good.

I have kind of a grug brained approach to this: restricting what was 'anyone can spend' into can only be spent some ways feels not the same as: here are ~50% of transactions in any given day. Let's stop them from transacting.

What concerns me is that there seems to be very little concern for this. I often am dismissed when I say that picking one group to change the rules on is bad. At some point Bitcoin needs to become agnostic to what is inside a transaction. If it is valid it should be valid forever.

While I can agree that Bitcoin is better with the rules activated by BIP 110, I strongly disagree with the idea of labelling a large group of bitcoin users (ordinals, inscriptions fans) as "bad."

What stops this from happening arbitrarily to any group?

they hear Bitcoin and come to all the wrong conclusions.

This is definitely my experience. So many people are really unwilling to think of bitcoin as anything but a scam.

Stranded energy and Bitcoin mining seem like a match made in heaven. Do you think there is a lot of new opportunity here, or have people identified most of the low hanging fruit?

What is the area of bitcoin that is most in need of funding?

If you had a choice between an Ark wallet, a Spark wallet, a Cashu wallet, and a fresh regular lightning wallet, which one are you spinning up next?

the trend towards miner centralization does seem worrisome. what gives you hope on this front?
