Tomer Strolight joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about the aftermath of the BIP-110 fork attempt, why he ran Knots but never followed the hard fork off Bitcoin, and what the Cold Card entropy exploit and the Liquid hack revealed about Bitcoin security. He and Knut get into why hard forks are so close to impossible, the hierarchy of principles that should sit above any single policy fight, and whether SegWit and Taproot look like own goals in hindsight. They finish on Bitcoin as antifragile money, why worldwide self-custody adoption may never be necessary, and what to do with the freedom that sound money actually buys you.
