0.1 BTC will make you rich and free within the next 5 years.

There is a significant time difference between the transaction timestamp (12:47 PM ET) and the event captured on live TV (4:44 PM ET).

文字一旦落笔，就覆水难收，再也抹不掉了。字里行间留下的痕迹，时至今日，早已无需多言。古话说：贪得无厌、傲慢自大之人，往往都栽在自己的小聪明上。 无论发生什么事，都先冷静下来，三思而后行总没错。博弈如棋，落子无悔。每一步的得失代价，都要事先算清楚。有些落子，代价要背十年；有些落子，代价要背一辈子。 理解液态网络的运作方式，是一切讨论的前提。在这个网络上，任何人都可以发行资产。网络内总价值约 50 亿美元的资产，由 L-BTC、泰达币与现实世界资产构成。这些资产分别属于各自的发行方与持币人，不归任何单一企业。赏金额度不能依据网络的整体总价值来算，那根本不是同一本账。不论如何商议其余事项，所有用户的资产都必须如数归还。 Blockstream 愿意通过 PGP 与你通信，本身就是一份礼遇。你公开承认拿走比特币，并以此索要赏金，这步棋走得是否明智，值得再三斟酌。或许你初来乍到，对这一行还不熟悉。你留下的蛛丝马迹，比你想象中要多。天网恢恢，疏而不漏。 世界很小，山不转，水转。多个朋友多条路，多个敌人多堵墙。做白帽，路越走越宽；做黑帽，天天提心吊胆。想拿走资产，还想全身而退，未免痴心妄想。有些门，一旦推开，就再也关不上了。

Subsidized rates to kill off the competition, take jobs away, then they'll jack up the price.

This is the first time I mostly hold BTC as an investment. For the NGU. Before, it was the biggest no-brainer far beyond that. It was the exit. The rock solid, unfuckable-with store of value. Separation of money from state. No third parties. Sovereignty. Digital truth in the form of a lean monetary ledger. Those qualities have, in my opinion, eroded a lot. Slow capture. More centralization. More relativizing and fiatizing of what Bitcoin is for. And there are seemingly no brakes. Just cheering when the people who still wanted Bitcoin to be money, not data storage, lost. Nodes decide, not miners. That used to be shared ground. Now it will get you ridiculed. I do not see the current trajectory, governance capture, or mining concentration reversing, not with the current attitude and behavior from the suits, the influencers and the social layer in general. That is why my faith in the project today is much weaker than it used to be. I am not calling the Blake2b chain Bitcoin. I am glad the fork happened. It is a live attempt to reassert principles a lot of us thought were settled: monetary protocol, hostile to spam, nodes enforcing rules, miners do not get to veto by selling block space for JPEGs and other non-monetary use. Whether it works at any meaningful scale is unknown. The energy around it is real. That resonates more with me than victory laps from people who treated BIP-110 as a joke and then celebrated when centralized hashpower blocked it. My position: I am not selling my BTC. I am not telling anyone else to sell. I intend to hold both sides for now. Nobody should be buying or selling either side of this split yet. The dust has not settled, liquidity is a joke, and rushed claim tools are how you lose funds. I urge everyone to make their own, well researched and responsible decisions. Most of my attention and interest now goes to the chain that still treats spam as spam, instead of inviting more of it and saying the debate is settled.

So what’s your plan?

The smartest thing Monero ever did has nothing to do with privacy. It's tail emission. 0.6 XMR per block every 2 minutes forever. That's 432 XMR a day on a supply of 18.8 million so under 0.9% a year, and it gets smaller every year. Now look at Bitcoin: > Every four years the subsidy gets cut in half. Eventually it hits zero and the entire security of the network depends on fee revenue alone. Nobody knows if that works. Monero took the opposite route in 2022. Miners always get paid and the cost of it is an inflation rate lower than the gold supply growth. Study monero:native

You still haven’t answered the ratio at all. I showed the trend clear as daylight here:

i use lightning every day. i think you’re coping very hard.
