Just use lightning network for the first time. Was amazing!

Took about 10 minutes to go from not having anything to buying a skype prepaid card.

Steps:

  1. Downloaded the ECLAIR wallet from the google play store

  2. Loaded the wallet with some BTC

  3. Opened a clannel with ACINQ Node

  4. Went to bitrefill.com

  5. Requested to buy a Skype $10 gift card

  6. Scanned the code

  7. Had to wait for BTC and Channel to confirm (3 minutes)

  8. Scanned the code again

  9. Instantly got my gift card.

This is amazing technology!

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.
