Looking at this video about Bitcoin Cash I am reminded of the story of Hiroo Onoda. Hiroo was an officer in the Japanese Army during WWII and he was stationed in the Philippines. When the war ended he refused to believe it and fled to the hills. He spent the next 29 years in the…

First I supported #Bitcoin   but then it got hijacked by bankers and turned into slow and expensive garbage. Ever since then I support #BitcoinCash because it allows you to be your own bank with instant and cheap transactions. The takeover is inevitable.

Some Bitcoin math: * 19.07M bitcoin are in circulation * ~900 BTC/day are released via the miners now * New bitcoin will be introduced for 118 years * During that time the average (mean) release will be 44.92 BTC/day * The median release will be just 0.027 BTC/day

@michael_saylor Just made a similar tweet last night. The supply squeeze is coming and it doesn’t take IPOs for the mining companies to do this. The availability of capital from high net worth folks, family offices, etc already makes this possible.

I say this with care: you’re doubling down without studying, resisting emotionally without learning. Invitation stands: spend 300 hours studying. Re your points, read Daniel Batten and Alex Gladstein, for starters. Then you have an informed opinion.

@unusual_whales And ironically, that makes the price of Bitcoin go higher. Quite the conundrim for Mr. Powell.

@BrockRiddickIFB The correct answer is 1. It is easier to understand why when you at the problem expressed in this fashion instead of the linear fashion in the original question.

Yesterday, I tweeted about the mempool backlog and it seemed to catch the attention of some folks. For those interested in looking a bit deeper, here's a bit more of my thoughts and a historical chart of mempool backlog. As you can see, for about seven months the mempool has…

@stillgray It is an outfit I’d only wear in public while making a late night run to Walmart because the 9v battery in my smoke detector is going dead and won’t stop beeping.

I completely support @adam3us not engaging in these debates. @ToneVays has graciously offered a wager that gives BCH a very low bar to prove its viability. To illustrate the current precarious level of the BCH mining infrastructure, if Barefoot Mining directed all of its hash…

Why are these guys still trying to debate 🤷🤦... Winners of debates are subjective & completely fan based. Here is a bet I'm willing to make that is quantifiable and will have a clear winner: Current price of $BTC is $70,000 & it's about to have a having next week (BCH just had…

@engguy55 I’m not a fan of large mining sites for the reason you stated, that said, I still support their right to exist and definitely think this tax is a horrible idea.

@azitanjd @Breaking911 It is forcing people to get a vaccination (my body - my choice) or essentially be under house arrest. And, it is also infringing on the privacy of their health information. Other than that, not a problem. Resistance to this will be fierce.

@crypto @BradSherman is a disgrace. He clearly hasn’t taken the appropriate time to even understand Bitcoin and he doesn’t have the knowledge to even separate Bitcoin from crypto from exchanges. Don’t write laws, regulations or pass judgement on things you don’t understand Congressman.

Great graphic here and nice summary by Fred but let me add a little color. This cycle is correct but one thing to also consider is that there is a material time lag between when money comes into mining and when hash rate goes up. This has historically led to too much money…

This diagram by Giovani is really interesting. Let me paraphrase 1. As Bitcoin Price goes up, Mining is more profitable 2. This draws more capital into mining 3. This capital is looked on as "the intrinsic value of the network 4. With this "intrinsic value going up" price goes…
