Bitpay fuckery

I renewed a VPS service today using Bitcoin. The provider uses BitPay to accept payment. The landing page show a "network fee" for bitcoin, shows no fee for bitcoin cash, recommended the fee and then chastised me for using such a low fee (68 sat/b or 16,836 sats) that my transaction may not get processed for 48 - 72 hours. Guess how long my "low fee" transaction took to confirm. Go ahead. Guess. Next block? BINGO. Fuck you BitPay, you are a bad actor in this space.

​

I am aware I could have paid less for the transaction. No need for further criticism on that point. Just wanted to vent. Thank you.

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.
