Matyas Kuchar is a Czech Bitcoin OG and co-founder of BTC Prague, Europe's largest Bitcoin-only conference. Born into a country shaped by communist-era currency controls and a deep-rooted distrust of central authority, Matyas sits at the intersection of Bitcoin, monetary sovereignty, and the fast-shifting political landscape of the European Union. He helped spearhead a landmark Bitcoin-friendly legislation package that passed unanimously through the Czech parliament, eliminating capital gains tax on long-held Bitcoin and securing banking rights for crypto companies. In this conversation, he breaks down why the Czech Republic may be the El Salvador of Europe, and why the...

There is a big difference if you signal shitcoins are welcome or you focus on money and discourage non-monetary use cases. There are plenty of shitcoins they can play on. Nodes and users are important otherwise it deceases to be Bitcoin and becomes captured and centralized.

I have never heard that knots supporters argue that they don't believe that a fee market establishes in the future. Hmm, why you think Luke is for 300kb blocks 🤔

Thats also an issue with core devs, they get paid a lot and maybe feel the urge to do something instead of nothing

Bitcoin is a monetary network and we can't give an inch to make it become a garbage storage. It would make Bitcoin indistinguishable from any random shitcoin.

Sehr gute und nachvollziehbare Argumente von Christian. Robin irrt leider in 2016 Narrativen und Security Budget FUD umher. Genialer Programmierer aber noch zu wenig mit den anderen Aspekten von Bitcoin beschäftigt. Onchain wird kein instant finality haben, 0-conf ist seit RBF tot (war womöglich ein Fehler). LN etabliert sich als Settlementlayer, bessere UX on top möglich aber onchain und größere Blöcke wird LN nicht ersetzen. LN wird imo bleiben. Meine Schlussfolgerung, neue Features und opcodes müssen noch konservativer und langfristiger gesehen werden. Das Risiko von unbeabsichtigten Seiteneffekten ist viel zu groß. Devs sind oft in ihrer Domain Genies aber verstehen das gesamte System und dessen Incentives nicht ganz.

    I was looking for this exact explanation on the MiCA comment and merchant adoption. Such an insidious clause and huge barrier to bitcoin adoption.👇 Note to clarify what Matyas meant about MiCA regulation: While MiCA does not directly regulate merchants, its travel rule requirements effectively forced third-party Bitcoin payment processors — e.g. Confirmo & Qerko — to treat fiat conversion as a financial service, requiring them to KYC every customer. Since they aren’t complying, these processors stopped supporting merchant Bitcoin payments, and since most merchants relied on them rather than managing self-custody, they stop accepting Bitcoin altogether.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
