 Great show @saylor,some decent questions from @PeterMcCormack, appreciate the position, but still, continued, aggressive development activities are needed imho.“Consensus” will be reached for a “breaking sha256”? But do you think there will just be 1 option? If there are two viable options, how will we reach consensus?

@joey , you may have ruined Saylor pods for me, he does a lot of prep and has a lot of well rehearsed case examples, there is a little conservation, but limited “off the cuff responses ”.

Miners may not like changes in scaling, but this is a process known as creative destruction (schumpeter, who may be an Austrian more innovation compared economics discusses this), as eth miners did, if they were strong companies they’d find other sources of revenue (AI). #bitcoin miners do this with  Load balancing, domestic heat, cocoa drying companies, that mine of the side? There are business models. https://fountain.fm/episode/gSwHz52HfVPakPt6gmoD
