Yeah, plus per-transaction fee. However, for the countries where Visa/MC stopped working (like Russia) this might be a good way to do international shopping.

But there's a trick 😂

Nice idea!

No way anyone would think that because of the 4 second wait time, you're just promoting your service. Also, I use my own node and not some centralized hub, even though I'm well connected it simply takes more than one hop to reach me which explains the delay.

No idea, they all show different numbers so I kinda stopped caring. With the amount of paper bitcoin already on the exchanges it doesn't matter, they will never tell the truth until it's too late. And then all of China would know 😂

Coinglass is not reliable really. They retroactively corrected the balances up a few times. It's like they don't want them to go below 2M, even if the numbers in the red all the time and the graph goes down it never reaches 2M.

NoSQL database implemented on top of an SQL database is a fantastic engineering joke but it's truly puzzling how it made it into production. I had to manually vacuum it so that my app stops killing my HDD even after I cleared the IDB completely. There are many reasons Firefox sucks but this one is also funny.

So you understand it!

Wow, my first zap! It's accepted in a fully sovereign way by my node and go-host-lnaddr where I recently added zap support to. Glad it's working ^^

Peaceful economic cooperation wins in the long run, but those favoring fast profits prefer wars and cheating. Everything's just coming together...

Bitcoin is not a democracy, the majority can't dictate what Bitcoin is to the minority. Bitcoin is a sovereignty, you decide for yourself what fork to follow and consider the true Bitcoin. You can follow the fork with 6 billion gorillion coins if you want, it has zero power over me following the original fork. There are, of course, some social/economical consequences if a lot of people switch to an inflationary fork (loss of exchange value). However, you can still follow the original one and mine it together with the others sharing the idea. Economically, the least changing fork (the original) should eventually win simply because its rules are more stable and it's more scarce. But it will take time and conviction from that fork holders.

Fortunately, it's been proven hundreds of thousands times already if you consider all shitcoins "economical forks" that distract people from the only coin that matters. All of them went to zero and died, including most Bitcoin hard forks, and the remaining two (BCH and BSV) are also on their way to irrelevance. This history yet again works as a good social argument against the future forks. Bitcoin is people first, the societal and historical arguments are *much* more important than technical details.

The man's right, never invest in Bitcoin as it's an inherent risk. Save in Bitcoin instead because it's safe and easy.
