@giacomozucco@djvalerieblove Bitcoin is the most important monetary network humanity has ever built. The #1 top priority of every developer, miner, exchange and individual hodler should be to not fuck it up.
@LukeDashjr My Knots mempool is nearly empty with 1 block pending and fees of 1sat across the board. My Core v29.3 mempool has 63 blocks pending with fees at 8, 9, 11sats by priority.
It should be something of a comfort to some that the Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index is a full 9 points less Extremely Fearful tonight, at 23.

@RonSwanonson@Pledditor Financial math is next to impossible... But imagine that you cashed out 90% of those split shares at +20x in 2024 and bought real Bitcoin with the proceeds... Yep that's more than 55% gain frenz... even as we search for the current Bear bottom. 🤷♂️
@mattkratter@CJ_Bitcoin One of the replies questions the advisability of spending BTC under current US tax laws. I tend to agree... but I don't recommend using it as collateral either. I've tired of slaying heroes. Do with Bitcoin whatever you wish frenz ... it's permission-less.
Mulling over the morning market with Odler Hodler... He says: He who hesitates is lost, so look before you leap, because time waits for no one. What's the rush?
The thot of selling one's Bitcoin to buy the utter fantasia of trillion dollar IPOs 1 2 3 ... gives me a giggle. But if such sell pressure extends BTC Bargain Days sobeit. I'm still liquid over here. 😎
2018 was also a bear market year. He stacked 12 times that year, ending w/ an EOY net loss of -63%. That annual batch is +11x now. The hodl is the magic part.
@BitcoinPierre Yes. And while you're at it, scrap the capital gains tax on peer to peer Bitcoin transactions. We don't get to claim a capital loss on the devaluation of our dollars when we spend them.
@Excellion@JAN3Financial@JAN3com@Strategy Saylor Moonboy, Tether, and the Finkster, may indeed buy most of it yes. Who can stop them? But they will never buy the sats we hold in self-custody. So no, not all.
Godzilla and Mothra continue to stomp the Iranian regime, unleashing utter blazing destruction of its infrastructure and enterprise. But US markets just climb the wall of worry, and everything gets only worse as the indices inflate.
Has Core v30 already died on it's own hill? I don't see any nodes running the v30.+ version with the deleted wallet bugfix? If BIP 110 can prove harmless I will run it.
