a rant

I am in my mid 30s and have been lucky enough to see three major cycles-housing, tech, and crypto.

Disclaimer-not investing advice, yada yada yada

I will tell you one thing-the people I know with real money are buying bitcoin. The people will kind of real money-well, they are buying bitcoin, and trying to buy more. And the people without money but with good income-well, a lot of them are waiting to buy bitcoin. And, they will blame everyone but themselves when bitcoin goes to $200k, or they will not dollar cost average, yolo in at 55k, see a 2k drop, panic sell, etc.

For the younger generation that had the guts to buy this when it crapped the bed-good for you. I wish lambos, mansions, and wealth upon you and your families.

The real challenge is most people with a higher than average income think they are smart, that they can time markets, etc. It is the most ridiculous thing-but I am starting to realize it's very common.

Bitcoin reminds me of housing in 2014-2015-at this point, most people turned bearish, waiting for the next crash. What they didn't understand at the time, nor did I, was why it was happening-massive debasement and lowering of rates. If you haven't figured it out, the government will go crazy trying to prevent a crash. Just wait till the REAL money printing starts. IMHO, bitcoin is about to leave orbit.

No, Bitcoin is not controlled by a small group of investors and miners (A rebuttal to the TechSpot article)

I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation . The chairman of NBER, Karen Horn, is a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Head of Int...

Day 9: I will post this guide regularly until available solutions like SegWit, order batching, and Lightning payment channels are mass adopted, the mempool is empty once again, and tx fees are low. Have you done your part?

BACKGROUND Segregated Witness (SegWit) was activated on the Bitcoin network August 24 2017 as a soft fork that is backward compatible with previous bitcoin transactions ( Understanding Segregated Witness ). Since that time wallets and exchanges have been slow to deploy SegWit, and the majority of users have not made the switch themselves. On Dec 18 2017 Subhan Nadeem has pointed out that: If every transaction in the Bitcoin network was a SegWit transaction today, blocks would contain up to 8,000 transactions, and the 138,000 unconfirmed transaction backlog would disappear instantly. Transaction fees would be almost non-existent once again . Mass SegWit use alone could empty the mempool, result in blocks that are not completely full, and make it possible to include transactions with $0 fee once again. On Jan 11 2018 when BTC sends went offline at Coinbase the mempool began to rapidly empty. Later in the day when service was restored there was a sharp spike up in the mempool . Subse...
