Do see this featured subject here inline with what signatures are to identifying someone's ownership of that transaction.
Since they are both inscripted on the blockchain forever.

i laugh at the big mouths that say "we need to build on layer 2 and 3" to solve congestion.. while in the same breath being happy to congest bitcoin and not solve the congestion on bitcoin

in short they are saying "abandon bitcoin, we want it to be useless, use another network instead"

the reason they say this is becasue corporations cannot claim tx fee's on bitcoin mainnet. becasue bitcoins monetary policy does not use middle men claiming fees for relaying payments between peers. only mining pools do.

they dont want the expense of starting up asic farms and creating pools to claim those bitcoin fee's so instad they want to make silly altnets and try to recruit people away from bitcoin and over to their altnets that do require middlemen(federations, factories, routers) to process transactions and grab fees for it

ofcourse they will initially have low fee's but once they recruit enough idiots they will raise the fees once enough people are locked in. and ofcourse they will want bitcoin to be super expensive so that people are afraid to unlock and leave the altnet. .. thats the business plan.. so dont fall for it

this junk data of nonsense no intrinsic value json data they want to call tokens. is not about getting rich from tokenisation. its about bloating bitcoin and causing a fee mania to sucker people into leaving bitcoin to use another network which pretends to be a better bitcoin.. but these altnets are not. they have flaws in of themselves. dont fall for it
I don't know much about these deep things of Bitcoin but upon reading your explanation, I do agree.
They are putting us back to the norm from the last decade when Bitcoin was not adopted yet. The "Middleman" dilemma. No more DIY and just let the miners do the fees but they want something blocking that transaction first and be paid for the entry fee. If the sudden increase in fees happens exaggeratedly, who knows how many Bitcoin supporters will stop using the King of all coins.
First, there's nothing wrong about Bitcoin, why fix it? It was not congested 3-4 weeks ago (iirc) until these memecoins popped out. It's so cheap that I won't even hesitate to use the fastest transaction available.

I bet there's another purpose on why he is doing it but of course he won't just shout it out to look like the devil of the crypto world.

After reading the above article - You make the call if Michael Saylor is triggering a causation for destroying the bitcoin network with these ordinals or is it just assimilating to what other chains are offering.

Michael Saylor is getting good at using words for his own good. Reading the replies in the tweet, I saw many people who agrees with him. Still, I am not dragged by his sweet words. Cheesy

https://twitter.com/TO/status/1660268453188739072?s=20
Is it really for the development of Bitcoin or he is just mere destroying it slowly?

Quote
“We need to build applications on layer two and layer three in order to extend the functionality and the performance and the scalability of Bitcoin. So if I were to basically discourage application development, I would be making it harder to scale to 8 billion people, and I would also be destroying the Bitcoin mining network.”

Network Congestions. I felt this for the past weeks of using Bitcoin as means of my transactions and the fees was so high that I cannot accept it so what I did is just use Western Union instead to have a cheaper transaction. I don't think it was just me who experienced the same way, some may have used altcoins instead for a faster and cheaper transaction.
The question that circles my mind is if the intention of Saylor is really for the good of the network or is it just for self-interest. I pick the latter.

Memecoins, characterized by their humorous and meme-based nature, have gained significant popularity in the cryptocurrency market. However, it is essential to approach these coins with caution, as they are often considered short-term investments with limited long-term sustainability. One should be aware of the potential risks associated with holding on to meme coins for extended periods. Investors who become emotionally attached to meme coins may find themselves in a precarious position. The market for meme coins is highly volatile, and sudden price fluctuations can result in significant losses. It is crucial to keep in mind that the value of meme coins is primarily driven by social media trends and speculative hype, rather than underlying fundamentals.
This thread isnt exclusively about memecoins and how their market was created. It is why Coinbase thought it was a good idea to segregate between their customers of what they choose to use and what authority they will allow them too.

They released a commercial which will be one of many they plan on releasing on cable television over the course of the next couple of months. You decide on what propaganda they are pushing on their customers with these and you be the judge for yourself:
"Money has come a long way since goats and teeth - And it still has a long way to go.
Thankfully, crypto helps moves money forward."

That is why Coinbase does not want pepe coin or another to dictate their own business practices.
They are just that, the jokes on the bitcoin blockchain. With these brc-20 ordinals.

Some informative insight upon viewing a recent interview at the bitcoin conference in Miami with Udi Wertheimer.
He is one of the self proclaimed Taproot Wizards and a bitcoin maximalist which is at the forefront of the group looking to change the minds of fellow maximalists.

Taproot was the upgrade to the blockchain which allowed for ordinals to be integrated into the bitcoin code.
Here is their website for a further explanation on what they are looking to accomplish in their goal:

King of all crypto? These Pepe and other meme coins? No, they aren't the king. They're the jesters of crypto. They're memes. They're complete garbage. Other than disrupting on-chain activities and making money from gullible individuals, these tokens have no other purpose.

I applaud Coinbase for this, for making an unequivocal stand. And shame on Binance, Huobi, OKX, and others for riding on this utterly worthless hype, for acting as accessories in the clogging of the network by supporting this coin which the developers themselves consider as "completely useless." These exchanges do not stand with the ideals of Bitcoin.

Boycott Coinbase - LMFAO. These guys should've done that years ago when we were warning people about their shady privacy practices.

Hopefully, they both fight each other to death and other exchanges get involved with the brawl too. Tongue

None of them will be missed.



Investing in meme coins is not "gambling" - that's an insult to gamblers. It's suicide. Even Doge came back down to earth after its pump.
It certainly is a gamble to even put anything into these meme coins - if you can even call this investing that is.

Here is a podcast conducted during the total joke of the bitcoin industry last week which does say the exact same thing:
Part I: A New Crypto Enemy Emerges (ATB Bitcoin MIAMI Live)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPYiCHWzqcQ
Part II: Bitcoin MIAMI Live (Robert Kennedy Crypto Mission)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLN9923h-Vo

Last year was sponsored by Jack Dorsey's Cashapp which was much more extravagant to a point of having a 10-foot volcano on the convention floor to celebrate El Salvador taking bitcoin as legal tender late September 2021.

Atleast the bitcoin conference will be moving away from Miami which has had their mayor renounce it's adoption towards BTC recently in the media, to Nashville next year.
Will it not be a drain on everybodies hopeium of being a success?
Probably not.

They are forcing it and I don't think that's a good sign. The questions of a big "why?" comes out. IMO, they will just play with its market and make profits in like a quick rich scheme. Coinbase probably knows what will happen and trying to avoid it. It will be chaos.
We've known memecoins are just short-term investments and the victims will always be those who will try to love them and keep it. Thankfully, I have not been on that position yet, I always sell this type of coins like a week or two, just imagine if whales will be the one doing it in the comfort of using Coinbase as their exchange. It gives me chills on how much money will come out for a joke.
And then when it's done, what's next? TETE, KEKE, JEJE? Grin

Seems that their customers are still up in arms about the tweet sent out as a form of damage control.
There are some who have created a movement on twitter about it and some creating songs which are rather entertaining:
Pepe will delete coinbase song

Crypto traders community is so naive and arrogant that if someone says the truth but its against them, they start getting mad at them. I remember when coinbase said something wrong about pepe somedays back and #deletecoinbase or something like that started trending on twitter soon after, lol  Roll Eyes
This is our reality lmao. Its better for these companies to stay silent with such matters.

Very interesting how these tokens which have no utility or intrinsic value except to the one's holding it, has up ended the king of all crypto and has caused a flurry of problems for the over 14 year cryptocurrency.

That's the bitter truth which we must have to swallow because we have no other option at the moment. The BRC-20 tokens are the most useless tokens in the whole history of crypto-currencies and they will be remembered by the community even if the developers find a solution to stop their evil operations.

I know that those useless tokens have harmed the king badly but still king will always remain the king and it's army would definitely find a way to secure the crown of the king of cryptos. It should be far better to promote more news about the uselessness of the tokens so that the buyers will lose interest in those non-useful tokens that hold no good value for the the ones who hold it.

The ones who are holding those tokens might lose all of their savings if the developers manage to find a way to stop that crazy BRC-20 protocol. Till then we must have to be patient and accept the current situation without letting it to ruin of life and our emotions.

stop believing the fake market cap and volume numbers

if i shuffled a bunch of bank notes from my own left hand to my own right hand. i can shw that $1m passed between my hands even if there are only $1000 in total

the MEME MARKET IS FAKE. its the creators selling to themselves to fix/rig/fake a price hoping idiots later on buy from them ..
Then why does Coinbase seem obligated to appease the masses by putting out such a statement?
Only after #DeleteCoinbase started trending of course.
They fear that the largest exchange in the United States will lose all the credibility of the crypto users in their marketed sector. That being the North American marketbase. They advertised for the Superbowl with just a QR code so to get a small amount of bitcoin to start millions of cryptocurrency customer accounts on their platform.
And it worked for them.

Yes chains do this to create fake transaction numbers like rogers coin and litecoin to make it look like people use their chains, they just send to their own addresses.

I would not be surprised if there is people spamming bitcoin dust as well to make it look more active, In recent years I have heard no 1 talk about bitcoin in person, it was a 2012-2017 fad.

Did I not get you to agree time coins are the better currency back in the day, well I have theory crafted something better, no currency and bots just do the work because AI is going to replace all the jobs anyways and currency is futile and promotes death and war.
Roger Ver's coin as in Bitcoin Cash BCH?

Not even Craig Wright's version of bitcoin BSV would be the true bitcoin.

That title belongs to Satoshi Natamoto of course. Even if his title says so on the above website.

With the BRC-20 tokens taking up the majority of the block size on transactions sent to the bitcoin blockchain in the past three weeks causing chaos and having users of bitcoin paying enormous fees

Memecoin which is alts cannot be a threat to bitcoin which the the legitimate cryptocurrency not to talk of the network of blockchain technology, the hype is what cause the overrated on the NFT and this is becoming a thing of past gradually because the transactions fee charged is becoming lower and back to usual gradually, why should bitcoin be a threat to the people wjen even he altcoins are more risky than as expected, should we loose focus on bitcoin because of transaction fee and let the altcoins we all are avoiding take place or stand against bitcoin.

Only 24 hours ago the pepecoin backers with the community on twitter were asking Coinbase to list the BRC-20 token on their exchange with screen captures of the symbol on their own webpage, either real or photoshopped on several of crypto influencers twitter feeds.

You can't expect exchanges not to have interest in this kind of scenario because of two things, first is for them to get avenue for making more money as the hype on the coin keep increasing, second is because they enlisting coins that they feels will give them more opportunities to get traffic of investors bidding for the coin on their website for an investment.

Hence why the usage of the word gamble was used with the previous statement about this token.
If it weren't on the same blockchain as bitcoin, all the maximalists wouldn't be so up in arms about just another sh*tcoin.
And will just wait until it dies off like so many other of those who were made for just such a purpose: pump and dump ponzi scheme.

Yet Dogecoin is in the exact same category as this one and is still being traded to this day.
The difference why there is not so much ire for it from those bitcoin maximalists is because it is not on the same blockchain.
It was a fork off of the litecoin network. So less of a direct connection to their beloved bitcoin.

But the reason for this topic are these ones are on the BRC-20 blockchain a fork off the BTC network.

The gamble hadn't paid off for those who invested in pepe since it has receeded back down to levels before the huge pump last week.

Shocked I tell you, I'm totally shocked that a scam meme coin has been a pump and dump.
Next are you going to tell me that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are not real too?

Scammers are going to scam and people 'who know better then everyone else' are going to jump on the next get rich quick thing.
