To the newcomers out there: During small dips like this, before panic selling, think about who has Bitcoin and if you think they're going to panic sell...

  • Tesla: $2+ Billion in BTC and announced they're purchasing more. Just announced Tesla can be bought with BTC.
  • Elon Musk, Tesla CEO: Believes BTC is better than fiat and is protecting his own wealth with BTC.
  • Jack Dorsey, Twitter CEO: Believes BTC will become currency of the internet.
  • Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy CEO: Believes BTC is the best hard asset in human history.
  • Michael Novogratz, billionaire: 30% of his wealth in 'cryptocurrencies'.
  • Winklevoss Twins, billionaires: held BTC through 2017 spike and 'crash' and still holding today.
  • Barry Silbert, net worth $500m: Hodls BTC.
  • Many more billionaires who I can't be bothered googling.

Do you think they're panic selling right now or still holding like do they with every other asset they own?

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...
