Rugpull Radio 130: OP_RETURN Wars are back from 2014! Bitcoin is not "only money" but an Unfuckwithable History Book of Truth
Manage episode 507212906 series 3427094
GMoney dives deep into the ongoing battle over Bitcoin’s identity, arguing that it is far more than “just money.” Revisiting the OP_RETURN Wars of 2014, he explains how cultural resistance within the Bitcoin developer community pushed innovation like tokenization and decentralized apps onto Ethereum, while Bitcoin’s potential as an immutable ledger of truth was downplayed. With historical context, quotes from figures like Julian Assange, Michael Saylor, and Elon Musk, and a sharp critique of Bitcoin “maxis” who want to limit its scope, GMoney makes the case for Bitcoin as the world’s first incorruptible history book.
From counterparty tokens and memetic power like Rare Pepes, to tokenization of securities, real estate, and culture itself, the episode highlights why anchoring data to Bitcoin’s base layer ensures truth cannot be erased or rewritten. Packed with rants, ads, and cultural analysis, this episode blends history, finance, and philosophy into a no-holds-barred defense of Bitcoin’s destiny as humanity’s timechain of truth.
