I have found my tribe

I know, dopamine, hopium… wait until the bear market!

I lived the bear market. Lived through three actually. I got involved in 2011. I’ve seen the way our tribe has grown, and I’ve seen the way sentiment has shifted towards the shitcoin casino.

But in this subreddit, I feel ratified. After 12 years, here we are, still strong, the majority espousing the original ethos. I couldn’t be prouder.

We have a country behind us, soon to be countries. We have writers and philosophers. We have presidents, we have CEOs, we have economists. Hell, we even have city planners.

I just want to share this feeling. We have created a movement. In the face of hurricane headwinds, we persevere. Because Bitcoin is antifragile, because Satoshi saw what we all see now.

I will die on this hill brothers and sisters. I’m here til the end. And what a glorious end, I truly believe, we will have.

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...
