$100 Dollars Worth of Gold & Bitcoin as of March 15, 2022.

This is a little project i am working on. I purchased $100 worth of gold and $100 worth of Bitcoin on March 15th 2022 and I plan to track the data until myself or bitcoin is dead. I personally believe bitcoin will be around long after i'm dead. The gold nugget is 1.61 grams and is equal to $100 as of March 15th, 2022 as well as the purchase of 240,313 satoshis also equal to $100. I then transferred the sats to an opendime that I initialized using a photo of myself holding pictures of Jerome Powell and Peter Schiff to generate the wallet address. The transaction confirmed in block 727525 (link).

I have some basic experience with framing and tried my hand at my own shadow box to float everything in. I found someone on etsy to carve me a trophy plaque for $7 and put everything together. The gold and opendime are mounted and floated on the heads of brad nails and mounted with a small bead of hot glue for each. They are secure enough to just sit on a desk or hang but not damage the items. I then pushed the nails through a piece of foam core that I mounted black felt to and added the plaque below with double stick tape.

I plan on tracking the data in google sheets and having a simple line graph mapping out the data points taken on the 15th of each month. I have a Twitter profile that i will use to post the data as this project goes on. follow me at: @ 100dollarsworth

I can also post updates to this reddit post once a month if anyone prefers to remindmebot.

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...
