If you wanted to get confirmed in the very next block you could probably use 25 satoshi/byte at this point in time. Personally, if I were sending a non critical/time-sensitive transaction right now I would use about 5 satoshi&#x2F

You could currently pay a fee of about 5 cents and be confirmed likely within 3 blocks. https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

It's not quite equal due to factors such as money velocity and liquidity. There's also the question of improved productivity/etc. to be had from this redistribution, which would increase effective buying power.

I'd argue that reducing the chances of dying and increasing the chances of reproductive success are not the same as "helping people" in the sense of actually allowing people to live meaningful and fulfilled lives, which at th

It's not nomadic in the sense that nobody was moving thousands of miles in one fell swoop into completely foreign environments full of complete strangers and an unfamiliar culture.

Yeah wow, an audience of billions having instant access to your content at the click of a button. So terrible for content creators. Most of these content creators wouldn't even exist without Youtube, they'd be working in a cubicle

I don't see how this would be any different than a library. We need new, good public institutions such as this.

That's not true, I performed calculations beforehand to decide whether it was more profitable to hold BTC in the margin wallet as opposed to other assets (which I knew would rise after the fork). The core question is whether altcoins w

I don't really see how it's stealing from their other customers when anyone with a nonzero BTC balance could have shorted BTC with BTC in their margin account. Somehow I'm penalized for trying to maximize my profit based on t

There is no threshold, it's clearly a gradient. Some exchanges want to list it, others don't. Certain exchanges listing it gives it more value than others, and if it's impossible to trade/spend, then the coin has 0 value

"Nothing stops me from just announcing that I've cloned a copy of the bitcoin blockchain for BCM" You can't just make random forks and have them be worth something. This is the culmination of years worth of debate and ha

I am (no longer) a legitimate customer. I was told by the service that I would receive BCH if I had BTC in my wallet, which I did. That service then did not make good on their word. They lied, simple as that man.

From the BCH Token Distribution Announcement: All BTC wallet balances will receive BCH They did not issue another post saying that this would not be the case and broke their distribution terms. Regardless of whether it was "free money&

Hedging against a clearly inflated asset is "funny business"?

by tpallarino 9y ago
Yes. Price and market cap mean nothing when there is not sufficient liquidity. There was literally a 60% price spread between exchanges yesterday because arbitraging is incredibly difficult/impossible.

Except your clone doesn't have miner support, community support, and get listed by major exchanges. I hate that people are acting like anyone can just go and make a fork for free money.

BCH has no liquidity. It's price is largely irrelevant now. You can't just look at market caps.

Disclosure: Bitfinex robbed me of BCH according to the terms of the agreement, which was not amended until after the fact. The money wasn't totally free. There was a huge opportunity cost to holding BTC at that time, and even having an

There's also no shortage of the Ethereum community patting themselves on the back too. The Ethereum community isn't toxic because it hasn't encountered serious questions about the future of the protocol yet and the price is c

Second this, Monero essentially has coin mixing built into the protocol. It's not convoluted and its use case is very clear.
