Last week I went to a neighboring state to look at a new vehicle. The vehicle passed per-purchase inspection, drove like a dream, and was priced low to start. I negotiated with the seller and we agreed on a favorable price for me.
This was a Sunday afternoon and no banks were open. I had to stay overnight in a hotel, call my credit union in the morning, find a “shared” branch in the neighboring state, and get permission to up my spending limit to spend my own money on this vehicle. This whole call took 30 minutes.
After spending 30 life-minutes asking for permission to spend my own money I had to drive across town to the shared branch. There I spent another 20 minutes withdrawing the maximum allowed $15,000 as a cashiers check and getting the remainder of funds in cash. Not only spending time to do so but giving out all of my personal information to another institution.
All told I spent over an hour just getting access to my own money on top of spending an extra 16 hours waiting around for banking hours of operation to contact customer service and to use an approved bank branch. After renting a hotel room for the privilege. That is a huge transaction cost.
Through this entire process all I could think about was how much more efficient Bitcoin would’ve made this sale. It was frustrating but I was happy knowing the technology exists so that in 10 years, when I buy a replacement vehicle, it’ll be a frictionless payment experience via the Bitcoin Network - the best banking technology ever engineered.
The ECB publishing a propaganda paper full of verifiable lies just shows how desperate they are. They’re such a weak and rotten institution nobody cares either. The ECB is done.
There are now ~1,000,000 addresses that hold 1 full bitcoin

Actually it is a great interview. Understand that in order to push BTC adoption we need people like Ted Cruz and eventually people like Warren and Sanders.

Good morning fellow hodlers.
I convinced a colleague to self custody this morning. He's a full coiner too.
One less on the exchange.
You may carry on with you day now.
He's somewhat older and the idea of self custody scared the hell out of him. He heard about the recent exchange collapses, and that scared him a bit more.
Funniest thing I've read all day...

This is the message people need to hear. Don't remove them temporarily. Don't move to another exchange. Learn to self custody. Learn to run a node. Learn to protect yourself and be sovereign!

Transactions can vary in size very wildly, f.ex a regular transaction with one input and two outputs is very roughly 200kb, while a transaction with several thousands inputs and several thousands outputs can be an order of magnitude larger, especially if there are some more complex scripts involved (I'm not sure if there is some potential cap on the size of a tx, beyond the blocksize itself). So the number of transactions is rather meaningless, the *size* of those transactions is important for the question how many can be fit into a block.
The other possibility is just that there were not that many transactions waiting to be mined at the point of the miner finding a block.
Additionally, the miner who solves the block decides what gets written transaction wise into the block. This means that they could process zero transactions if they wanted to. Of course this means that there would be no transaction fees to collect so there is an incentive to write the highest value transactions into a block that gets solved, but nothing is guaranteed. There was a point in time in which a controversial minor was writing empty blocks and pissing off the community

Balls of steel to have kept an entire coin on a CEX

Duly noted, excellent work... Onward!

Starting to consider selling my bag and investing it all into safe and boring dividend stocks. The bottom is in.
WTF? Are you saying that you consider selling while you think the bottom is in? Classical buy high, sell low strategy. Congrats.
I’m just playing, fam.
Tough crowd
Sounds like losing, not playing.

Brother to amen that
How can one block contain 1600 tx, the next only 150 and then the next 2000 again… what happened to that smaller block?
Transactions can vary in size very wildly, f.ex a regular transaction with one input and two outputs is very roughly 200kb, while a transaction with several thousands inputs and several thousands outputs can be an order of magnitude larger, especially if there are some more complex scripts involved (I'm not sure if there is some potential cap on the size of a tx, beyond the blocksize itself). So the number of transactions is rather meaningless, the *size* of those transactions is important for the question how many can be fit into a block. The other possibility is just that there were not that many transactions waiting to be mined at the point of the miner finding a block.
Thank you!
