Had someone at my meetup last night ask if I was worried about all the “spam” filling the mempool, making it impossible for people to run nodes, and 2 TB not being enough very soon. I opened the mempool and showed him how empty it was. He had no idea. Told him we’re still roughly a decade away from a 2 TB blockchain at the current pace. When I started opening Lightning channels in 2021, I was regularly paying 30–60 sats/vB. Today it’s less than 1 sat/vB. Sometimes it helps to just look at what’s actually happening and verify for yourself.
Hosting a meetup today. Too bad nothing has happened in Bitcoin this week to talk about.💀
We’re doing it! We’re bringing a Bitcoin-only conference to the Bay Area. Introducing the Golden Gate Bitcoin Conference, a focused two-day event built by Bay Area Bitcoiners. Nov 6–7, 2026 College of Marin · Kentfield, CA Get notified when tickets open: conf.bayareabitcoiners.com Here’s the promo video I made:
I’ve had a bunch of Bitcoin design ideas swirling around in my head for a while, inspired by my love of 80s/90s culture, old tech, arcade graphics, VHS tapes, and retro sci-fi. I finally started bringing them to life and relaunched my Etsy shop. MaloneMedia is live with Bitcoin apparel, mugs, posters, and photography prints: https://malonemedia.etsy.com Code “NOSTR” gets you 10% off.
It’s 2026 and Bitcoin is $64,000. What a gift. If you’re looking for your entry point, this is it.
At a birthday party last night, I met a financial planner that wouldn’t stop asking people how they were “optimizing with AI.” Someone mentioned that I wrote a book on bitcoin and AI. Her to me: I hate Bitcoin. I wouldn’t recommend it. I own a little bit in fidelity retirement etf. Don’t buy it right now. It’s failing. Incredible.
