I have taken some time to think about BIP-110, and what I am going to do moving forward. Note I said what I'm going to do, not what YOU should do.
I wrote a long as$ post about my reflections on BIP-110 (still no RAGRATS) about what happened, but I deleted it, ain't nobody got time to read my sh*t.
You should do your own research and use your own judgment, don't outsource your thinking to any influencer, institution, or group...let alone a retard pleb like me.
I'm going to:
1. Be paying attention to and participating in what the BIP-110'ers got cooking next. I go into this with complete understanding of the nigh insurmountable odds, but I also go in with a clear conscience. Just as with BIP-110, just because the outcome is low/uncertain, doesn't mean you shouldn't endeavor for what's right.
AND
2. Continue to hold my meager stack of corn. It ain't much, but I worked hard for this sh*t and I'm not going to easily throw it away just yet.
3. Continue to participate in Bitcoin and run a Pre-RDTS version of Knots, until such a time it's no longer secure or a better alternative arises. Despite my significant qualms about how captured and centralized Bitcoin (mining, reference client, and simpfluencer culture) is, there's still slim hope of a turn around. I ain't leaving this fight that easily.
TL;DR, I'll do me, and you do you.

The most powerful computer network in the world controlled by 2 mining pools, coercible by governments or Saylor-Black rock level suits. Woke dishonest devs. A pleb army neutered by nodes that don't matter and admonished by the cult-leaders who are really paid-off influencers who can't afford the sponsorship loss, let alone the social cost, of maintaining a backbone. Yeah this is all going swimmingly. You all became the very thing we sought to destroy. Congrats. AND YOU KNOW IT IN YOUR BONES, but none of you are intellectually honest enough to admit it.

Since publishing my CAPTURE investigation into Bitcoin Core governance and taking a public position on BIP-110, I've been repeatedly targeted by @Coinicarus.
On his show Pleb Underground, and X, he's compared me to Craig Wright, tied me to a scheme to “monetize the people that we scammed”, and named me when asked to identify a grifter. His co-host has explicitly called me a scammer.
I only discovered this on 21 October, after first seeing a post on X where he said I had “gone completely off the deep end.” I contacted him privately that same day and asked him to explain. He didn't want to.
Thread. 🧵

We owe you an apology.
On October 20, we detected unauthorized access to our official website. After verifying API activity with Shopify, we confirmed on October 23 that a third party obtained customer shipping information. You trusted us with those details, and we're sorry we didn't keep them safe.
Exposed: names, contact details, shipping addresses, and order details (items and prices).
Not exposed: payment card or bank details, recovery phrases, private keys, or wallet passwords.
We've blocked access, fixed the vulnerability, opened an investigation, and are emailing affected customers.
Scammers may pose as Keystone by phone, text, email, or mail, offering refunds, replacement devices, or "fixes" for your order or address. None of it is from us.
NEVER share your recovery phrase or private keys, and NEVER enter your recovery phrase into a device you didn't order. We will never ask for them. Don't click links in unexpected messages. Type keyst.one yourself.
A detailed report is coming soon.
Until then, trust only our official channels. If anything feels off, email [email protected]. We'd rather hear from you than have you take a chance.
Again, we're truly sorry to everyone affected.
Fractions of a treasury stock...whut?
Anything but use Bitcoin as money.
Settle a lunch bill with a fraction of a treasury stock, and it feels the same as paying in bitcoin.

No way, there is no way that Minesh Bhindi former founder of GoldForLife dot com would scam you.
I was born at night, but not last night 😂
Minesh (aka not actually British and didn't HODL sh*t) couldn't hack it selling real estate investment courses, so now he'll sell you Fiat Maxi hopium instead.
Grifters gonna grift.

Always remember.
Europe is being deliberately destabilised.
Things are designed to get worse.
Civil unrest is manufactured.
It serves power.
Governments are tools of power.
Politicians are not stupid.
They serve power.
NOT you.
Don’t fall for psyops.
Don’t be a useful idiot for the very power you think you’re resisting.
Blockstream is about to be omega alright...Omega Red 🔴 (and not the cool X-Men super mutant).
If I was still using any Blockstream products, I'd start making plans to GTFO.
In the words of the immortal Bogdanoffs, dhamp eet.
If I am reading this correctly, a former employee of Blockstream (Alphonse Pace) seems to be hinting that Blockstream is close to collapse and will not be getting any more money from Fulgur or Tether or Bitcoin OGs. I've heard that Alphonse was involved in building the Blockstream Mining Dashboard, allegedly with hashrate numbers that don't change. Has anyone else heard the same? If Blockstream goes, it's probably really bad news for Liquid bag holders. The omega candle jab is the icing on the cake

Watch how institutional power is not merely normalized, but openly celebrated in Bitcoin's social layer.
Wealth, status, access, and proximity to power are elevated, while Bitcoin's founding principles, including sovereignty and the separation of money and state, are ridiculed.
The values of the fiat system Bitcoin was created to challenge are being repackaged as Bitcoin's path to success.
On November 5, Mars Spits Bars takes this worldview to BTC Inc's Bitcoin Amsterdam, on a Whale Pass-only panel titled:
“BIG BITCOIN: IN CONTROL?”
The CAPTURE articles documents the institutional relationships and mechanisms of influence.
Bitcoin's social layer is the final line of defense against complete institutional capture.
But if that very social layer is being conditioned to celebrate institutional power, ridicule principled opposition, and attack those exposing its concentration, who exactly is left to resist it?

Five years of getting told to sit down, and he never stopped fighting. Whatever you think about BIP-110, Hodlonaut’s point stands: Bitcoin isn’t self-maintaining. Someone has to care. This conversation stuck with me. 👇

0.5 BTC TO @adam3us if he can prove his cryptography chops.
I think you are a fraud.
My money is good and happy to test you.
I do not believe you are the person you pretend to be.
My word and money is good.
Prove your work.

You're drawing a distinction the series already makes.
CAPTURE doesn't claim that BTC Inc controls Bitcoin Core.
It's a four-part investigation into how influence over Bitcoin development, funding, governance, and public narratives can accumulate through overlapping institutional relationships.
Article 4 examines the media and commercial side of that picture. Articles 1-3 document the developer networks, institutional levers, and decision-making process surrounding the OP_RETURN change.
You can't rebut the broader investigation by isolating one article, reducing it to disclosure failures, and then demanding that it independently prove direct control of Core.
The connections between the parts are the point.

Tether's U.S. CEO Bo Hines was partners with a convicted felon (bribes, cocaine, prostitutes, and NY State retirement funds) operating under an alias.
Getting easier to put all the pieces together after the great @wsj reporting today (see quoted post below).
@BoHines is CEO of @Tether USAT. Before that he ran Trump's White House crypto council, where he shepherded the GENIUS Act through Congress. He left the White House August 9, 2025. Tether hired him ten days later.
Hines co-founded NXUM Capital. One week before the 2024 election, NXUM donated $1 million in billboard ads to Trump's MAGA Inc. Super PAC. Hines told Fortune he oversaw all of NXUM's political work. Trump gave him the White House crypto job two months later.
One of NXUM's listed partners was "Nav Singh," Managing Partner and CIO. The Wall Street Journal article confirms that “Nav Singh” is actually Navnoor Singh Kang, a convicted felon.
Biographical and photographic evidence that Nav Singh is Navnoor Singh Kang
The NXUM biography for Nav Singh said he worked at Goldman Sachs, PIMCO, and Guggenheim Partners in fixed income, with an economics degree from Columbia.
A 2015 Pensions & Investments conference profile lists a speaker named Navnoor Kang: "co-head of investment grade corporate credit at Guggenheim Partners… Portfolio Management Associate at PIMCO and Goldman Sachs. B.A. in Economics from Columbia University, 2003."
If an identical education and work history was not enough, a Backstage acting profile lists the full name Navnoor Singh Kang with a headshot that matches the man shown on NXUM's website (before NXUM deleted it). In fact, the NXUM profile headshot is taken by a photographer who specializes in actor headshots.
Navnoor Kang served jail time for taking bribes in cocaine and prostitutes to steer billions in pension funds, and was permanently enjoined from deceiving anyone in relation to a securities transaction.
In 2016, Kang was indicted by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. He had been Director of Fixed Income at the $207 billion New York State pension fund. Brokers lavished him with cocaine, crack cocaine, prostitutes, a $17,400 Panerai watch, a $4,200 Hermès bracelet for a girlfriend, VIP concert tickets, and luxury ski vacations. In return, he steered over $2 billion in public pension money to their firms.
He pleaded guilty to securities fraud and honest services wire fraud and was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison.
Here's WSJ coverage at the time:
wsj.com/articles/former-new-…
In 2019, the SEC permanently enjoined him from violating antifraud provisions under Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5. If he was operating under a false alias that concealed his conviction from NXUM's investors (unclear whether NXUM had ever had any investors, but Singh/Kang carried the Chief Investment Officer title there), that may itself have been a new violation of the order.
NXUM donated $1M to Trump. Trump appointed Hines. Hines was deeply involved with the GENIUS act, which now benefits Tether. Then Tether hired Hines ten days after he left the White House.
Now Hines' NXUM is a key partner of the $100M crypto PAC funded primarily by @howardlutnick's Cantor Fitzgerald and Tether, rumored to be spending heavily in DC.
Unanswered questions remain.
What is Bo’s connection to Singh/Kang, and why did no one at the White House or Tether appear to balk at Hines’ partner being a convicted securities fraudster operating under an alias?
What’s the Nav Singh to Bo Hines connection and is it appropriate for the CEO of a major USA-domiciled stablecoin?
Does Tether, or any Tether subsidiary, have a financial relationship with NXUM Capital or with Navnoor Singh Kang (under any name)?
Did Kang/Singh play any role in connecting Hines to Tether, or in NXUM’s decision to donate $1 million to MAGA Inc?
Was Kang’s identity known to any members of Congress who worked with Hines on the GENIUS Act?
Gonna be fun to watch this one unfold.
SCOOP: While Bo Hines was leading the White House’s push to pass the Genius Act, Tether—the company with the most at stake in the bill—was steering millions of dollars to a company he co-owned.
Right after the bill passed, Tether hired him as its U.S. chief.
