This shit gets old real quick. Up and down swings of $2-400, multiple times a day

Sadly, it feels like our usual 1-month-long ride UP is over.

or maybe the bull run WHO know's   

Whatever the fun, ETHUSD is starting to look ugly and BTCUSD is also having some trouble to keep it up. I expect one more try to new medium term highs ($8,500+) the next few days before the cycle points down again.

Can't wait until Thursday to start filling my bags of the initial release into their own currency even if they are only physical ones.
The Bogdanoffs would be pleased.
Only a matter of time before Starbucks starts up their ICO for Starcoins or Starbux.

He should have wiped his ass on this special shitcoin toilet paper.

Continue the DUMP? 

What you find when you search for "whales jerking off" is entirely not surprising. Although TIL wanking Orca's in captivity is a thing. You'd think that wouldn't be a thing. But it is.

But...bbut... if the economy is so great now and in full recovery mode, then why would they need to renegotiate cc fees, precious?? This seems like something you do when you're bleeding money...  

Just use bitcoin!

True, there are different kinds of fucks. So this is more of an SAE fuck as opposed to a metric fuck.

I can say for myself that it was a matter of curiosity when it would be a rising volume. The current situation is not good at all. It seems that there has been no progress for almost 4-5 months. It's hard to get anything out of graphics.

Well, there seems to me be some weak sort of correlation between what shitcoins do and what we do, and when. Whales jerking off in the ocean, and all that. Idk. Giving a fuck is a sliding scale.

Yes. Currently there's a huge amount of inter-exchange tx's that would inmensely benefit of LN. One pre-requisite would be the lifting of the current limit which won't happen until everything is completely tested to be rock solid.

Other major players I see joining in the future are payment processors (so that it won't even be needed that retailers directly use LN) and ATM providers. That could happen even sooner than exchanges adoption as they can benefit of smaller amounts per tx.

The real volume is going to come when exchanges open lightning nodes for arbitrage.

It's interesting to note how Andrew Breken's experiment with creating the largest Lightning node (and not losing a single bit of his BTC) has encouraged others to launch other large nodes.

"Fairly cheap" node, which at first I thought could be a second @abrkn's node, seems to be leading the "competition" at the moment, with 23.41BTC. Another node was launched just yesterday, "bustabit.com" -which seems to be a gambling site- that is growing extremely fast and it is now at 12.52BTC capacity. It looks as if it aims to dethrone "Fairly cheap" as the largest node in the next few days.

I am not sure it is completely safe to risk that sort of amounts in current state of Lightning, but I guess there's people well-off behind them that aren't risking more than "they would be willing to lose".

Also, "Fairly cheap" has adopted an strategy of lowering the fees considerably so maybe it is a legit attempt at monetizing the service or trying to have an advantaged point before it becomes more widely used. "bustabit.com" is probably also trying to gain some publicity for its gambling service.

Things are getting interesting in LN land it seems. Will keep watching closely.

P.S.: As soon as neutrino mode is out and stable I will also be running my little node. Probably there's much more people thinking the same so I guess that's when the thing will explode.

the state of our current bull run

I think somewhere around 0.07 is probably the next line of defence.  That’s about how low it got on launch. You don’t really want to hit an all time low because that might make the punters nervous.  

Edit:  looks like ATL was as low as 0.064
