I have been a bitcoin’er for about 6 years now and I haven’t managed to orange pill a single person.

I think in my social circle I am secretly known as the crazy Bitcoin guy because it’s basically all I talk about. I am not sure if it’s as simple as, my delivery method sucks or people just couldn’t be bothered to learn about money or Bitcoin.

I see how unfair, broken and rigged this fiat system is and I try to bring people to understand it too and show them the way to preserve their wealth and hard earned money but it’s like I am beating a dead horse and they all think it’s all bull shit crazy guy talk and it doesn’t affect them or whatever.

The last dude I talked to about this was like but the economy is doing great, There is jobs everywhere and people don’t even want to work so I don’t even know what you are talking about. And in my mind I was like fuuuuuuuuck, how do I make him understand what helicopter money is and what printing money does. But I digressed and let him think I am crazy. I am just so done at this point.

I am honestly ready to give up now, I think I am just going to watch the world burn and do nothing. Fuck everyone else.

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...
