In light of attacks on #generalComputing, our mind goes to a phrase the bitcoin community coined in 2016/17.

The term "#UserActivatedSoftFork", or #UASF, was small bitcoin node operators resisting the bigs' attempt to have large blockSizes which would compromise #security of #Bitcoin.

The #bigTechBlocker is similar. Its a '#UserActivatedAntitrustLaw' that prevents the decent into #technoFeudalism. And hyper-#massSurveillance.

It doesn’t matter who can write changes into a repo housing the #Bitcoin Core software. It’s the users that choose what software to run that matter. #UASF

“#no2x demostró que los mineros y las empresas no controlan bitcoin.

#uasf demostró que los desarrolladores no controlan bitcoin.

Los ordinals y las inscripciones demostraron que los maxis no controlan bitcoin.

Bitcoin ha demostrado ser descentralizado, ¡no hay segundo mejor!”

#UASF works well with #FBI:
ask if this is a military dictatorship

“As it is right now, I have no clear understanding of what I’m being charged with or why my property was seized,” he lamented. “Cellphones, memory sticks, backup drives, my camera equipment that is worth almost $10,000, my drone, everything was taken.”

Forgive the source, I'll drill down to the originals when I have time, but court docs are sealed.

Remember when 50 large #Bitcoin companies tried to force changes onto Bitcoin?

They failed because they had no control #UASF

We actually saw this play out during blocksize wars in 2017, this is why I #Bitcoin and PoW.

PoS will likely drive control to large corporations.

Alright so an Ethereum #UASF is off the table.

“But we can just slash Coinbase and others if they dare comply!”

To #UASF you need software to run. Now all Ethereum forks have cool city names like Istanbul, London, Berlin, etc. Let’s call this hypothetical Ethereum UASF fork “Pyongyang.” Pyongyang would prevent Coinbase and the 66% majority from censoring OFAC sanctioned transactions.

But wait! Ethereans can just #UASF like those Bitcoin Maxi’s right? Like totally show Coinbase who’s the boss!

Ethereum #UASF is begging and then sending heart emojis. 😂

If you do not have a good understanding of #UASF and #No2X it's far more difficult to graps why the immutability of Bitcoin's monetary policy is absolute, and why Bitcoin's most desirable features are irreproducible (versus altcoins) and thus why bitcoins are scarce.

I wrote this for @bitcoinmagazine to mark the 5th anniversary of #Bitcoin Independence Day. The Big Blockers that tried to impose their will on Bitcoin, the “experts,” all are in similar predicaments today. Don’t trust. Verify. Run your own node. #UASF
