A friendly reality check

I'm a relative newbie that got in just before the Thanksgiving bull run of 2017. I love Bitcoin. It has completely changed my life for the better. But...

I work retail. I process payments for our customers on a daily basis. Our particular store uses chip readers for credit/debit cards and it gives lots of people issues. They put their cards in backwards or upside down. They select the wrong payment information or enter their PIN incorrectly. They pull their card out before the payment has been processed. EVERY DAY.

My point is that we have a long way to go before Bitcoin can become widely adopted, maybe even decades. Lengthen your time horizon. Stop checking the price on a daily basis.

I believe in the tech. I'll continue to be an advocate for Bitcoin, but it's going to take time. Patience is a virtue after all :)

Coinmarketcap are listing BCH sites as BTC

Under here: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/ They have links to https://bitcoin.com/ and https://forum.bitcoin.com/ which are no longer BTC sites; they're BCH sites. I'm not good at twitter and don't have many followers but I've tweeted at them here: https://twitter.com/bitplane/status/955918445014585344 Can we raise awareness of this and get them to change it please?

15 years of BTC Power Law

5 years ago I made a post in this subreddit showing that BTC is a power law: Price=A*days^n, (days from Genesis Block), n=5.8. Many didn't believe me and said the past doesn't predict the future. Well, after 5 years it turns out that BTC continues its power law behavior with similar exponent. A power law is not another formula or model but the same mathematical behavior behind river formation, mountains growth, cities development, GDP vs population, and metabolic rate. Everything important is ruled by power laws, so BTC. BTC is a force of Nature.
