Referring to the limited-liability nature of corporations: "Governments always need scapegoats for their own inevitable failures, and they love to point at the wealthy to strip-mine the resentments of the less successful. They want to take money from the rich and give it to the poor, but the problem then is that the rich don't want to make much money, or want to leave for another country, so they give rich people the legal protection of the corporation so they will still want to make money and stick around. And the media constantly repeats that corporations are a "feature of the free market" when they were never chosen by customers, but rather are imposed by governments. In fact, corporations would be specifically rejected by customers if they had any choice." - Stefan Molyneux, The Future Live free, subvert the state.

Now is a great chance to consolidate your UTXOs in order to reduce your future on-chain fees and keep the UTXO set lean for node operators, which helps the Bitcoin network stay decentralized!

My TL;DR from TAB Conf: We're gearing up for a Bitcoin Cambrian explosion in regards to off-chain protocols, privacy improvements, and overall squeezing every last bit of data off of the blockchain. Absolutely mind-blowing stuff happening. A lot likely won't hit mainnet for the next 5-10 years. But it's coming...

Bitcoin's price dip has lowered profitability of mining considerably, bringing even the most efficient miners down to mere pennies a day given typical commercial electricity costs. Yet we're looking at a 7+% difficulty increase. Not entirely sure why people are plugging in their miners, but this feels very bullish!

Wasn't sure if a time lapse while walking would be too shaky, but this turned out really cool!
