Example of how early we are

First a little backstory: I've been trying to source an Xbox series X for like 3 months but I keep missing out on the drops. I finally caved and decided to pay over retail to a scalper just because I had probably $100 worth of my time into just trying to find one.

So I messaged a couple of people on FB marketplace and put up an ad in the local reddit classified saying I would pay 650 cash or 700 in Bitcoin. Multiple people called me a scammer, and the guy I finally made a deal with took the cash. I mean he literally turned down $50 because even if he doesn't want to be a hodl'er he could sell right away.

Guys, we are still in the "giving away free money" stage of adoption.

Thank you for attending my TED talk. See you when Halo drops lol.

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.
