Seems very likely this started as a ploy to eliminate the crypto banks that got out of hand. Who knew, central planning doesn’t work?!

Bitcoin ripping despite the three most prominent bitcoin friendly banks shutting down within a week. Honey badger don’t care never been more obvious.

Fucking love solo blocks! Nothing better for bitcoin than a lucky pleb hitting a block! 2 in 3 days! WOOOOOOO!

Can anyone link me to a guide for mining a vanity npub?

I swear I’m not asking for sats, but I’m a simple man, anyone who zaps me gets an instant follow

Bitcoin right now. Operation Chokepoint 2.0 about to get a lesson in antifragility

There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen…. Feels like we’re gearing up for some of the latter.

60 sats/byte to get into the next block. 60x from only a few weeks ago. Few understand mempool dynamics. In the right circumstances a small increase in demand for block space can lead to radically higher fees. We have a 140 block backlog, likely headed for 1000+ and truthfully the chain is hardly being used. Anyone who is worried about a fee market developing is clueless. Fees being larger than subsidy will likely start to happen on occasion next epoch. Will become the norm in the one after that. Difficulty will just go absolutely apeshit once more people have confidence that rewards will start trending up not just in dollar terms, but in bitcoin terms as well.

Headed for the 1000 block mempool. Kilomempool.

Another hour without a block and 106 blocks in my mempool….and in that next block still looks like a handful of inscriptions. They’re almost priced out, but some are degenerate enough to pay up. Love these times though, it’s an artificial peak into the future. And the new mempool block visualizations are amazing.

Step 1: bunch of bitcoiners open accounts with Silvergate and deposit up to $250k each. Step 2: if Silvergate fails we help defund FDIC If they don’t we take it over from the inside. Step 3: profit? This is not a fully fleshed out idea.

Gotta love a block free hour. Almost as if time stands still. Take a moment and smell the roses.
