Came for the moon, stayed for societal improvement

Just my humble opinion:

My story of BTC discovery likely not unusual…scoffed at it in 2018 and made fun of the people who stayed in at $20,000 when it went to $2000. Dabbled in altcoins before realizing that BTC is the 800 pound gorilla in the room, finally bought in 2021. Haven’t looked back since.

All this to say: humans think in linear terms, but (again just my opinion) we are going to see exponential growth in BTC “down the road”. I’m actually happy when it dips, since I can accumulate more sats. One day again “down the road” I hope to borrow against it with a (by then) reputable BTC lending company. IF one/several BTC ETFs get approved, this is going to catalyze a lot more investment in BTC, as reportedly there are trillions of dollars waiting on the sidelines for an “easier” way to invest.

All this to say, PA between $15,000 - $69,000 is irrelevant, and since 70% of all coins haven’t moved in over a year, there must be plenty of others who share my opinion

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...
