Matthew Kratter joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about the escalating fight against spam on Bitcoin, why he believes Bitcoin Core has been compromised, and how the pleb migration to Bitcoin Knots has gone from 1% to 25% of the network in under two years. Kratter walks through the case for BIP-110 as a temporary soft fork, explains why mining pool centralization is the structural problem underneath everything else, and shares his own setup for renting hashrate at industrial scale from home using Datum Gateway and Ocean. The conversation also covers the rotting culture inside Bitcoin Core, why slaying our heroes still matters when figures like Adam Back behave erratically, and what self-custody, sound money, and Bitcoin sovereignty actually demand from us when the protocol itself is under cultural attack.
