I get confirmations up the arse whenever the blockchain permits me to interact with it. I guess I'm some kind of special snowflake but I always knew that anyway.

First green shoots on the 30min chart. We're going higher.
Please go higher, I am counting on a little pump to open a new short.

The problem is from miners, they dont accept it, and the miners control bitcoin...
Add to your "problem" what node-runners want:

I don't know about y'all, but I can sleep comfortably knowing that the value of my assets depends on the sophisticated economic and technical knowledge of third world pyramid schemers.

I agree decentralization is very important and we shall not lose it, but it is also a very subjective and hard to measure thing.
We have to find the sweet spot that makes most sense:

It is not decentralization that is above all. It is security.
Combined with cryptography, decentralization is just a mean to an end.

The spike in difficulty over the last 30 days has also dropped the orphan rates. Now blocks are filling up on a regular basis, it seems. This all points to a hard fork to increase blocks and introduce segwit. We should be heading for a peace deal and a more stable uplift in prices going into Feb and March.

Even the banksters gets it that bitcoin is settlement layer, not freeshit transactions VISA competitor.

So i see.. you in love with cypherdoc scammer? Having weird dreams involving peter r and one of his big black gif?
FFS you are so lost. Trusting these people.
Luckily you and you protectors can go suck up on your mediocrity on some unsensored ships paradise.

The $7/tx subsidy only illustrates how ridiculous the coffees-on-the-blockchain idea is, and how critical it is that BTC become high-powered money rather than yet another retail payment rail.
Those four tps are the most precious rare things in existence. The ability to store and/or transfer value quickly, securely, and without permission is unprecedented. A gigawatt is a small price to pay for the provision of such a modern miracle.
It's adorable you think Honey Badger cares about ignorant Gavinista fuckwit ramblings and desires for a contentious hard fork and governance coup.
Please take your Negative Nancy 'zomg Bitcoin is GOING TO DIEEEEE WITHOUT 2MB RIGHT MEOW' bullshit over to BitcoinObituaries.com.

The one island of intelligence, the old gold thread, was committed to the memory hole for grievous thought crimes… for your protection. Let's admit it, they just didn't jive with a forum filled with sig ad penny farmers, boot lickers, and budding central planners.

Central control is censorship resistance.

Dissenting opinions are a sign of disloyalty and fragility.

I am so sick reading stuff like this over and over. This kind of elitist thinking is very dangerous imho.
The Whitepaper says "A peer to peer cash" system. As long as lightning network and co are not production ready
the coffee goes in the blockchain - deal with it.
Also the 7$/TX theoretical cost ist retarded, this is mostly because the 1MB blocklimit, if we would raise it to say 10MB
it would go down to 0,70$/TX and so on. ( of course this shit is inefficient, but it makes sooo much economic sense wtf )
I know decentralization above everything blabla, but I think we have to make a tradeoff here, most fullnodes are servers or on cable
connections anyway. Those machines don't care much if the blocksize is 1, 2, 4 or 8 MB... They run anyway, top 5 fullnode networks:

1 OVH SAS 366 (6.39%)
2 Comcast Cable Communications, Inc. 343 (5.99%)
3 Hetzner Online GmbH 228 (3.98%)
4 Amazon.com, Inc. 218 (3.81%)
5 Hetzner Online AG RZ 147 (2.57%)

Can we get this guy liquidated? I've just returned from a Blockstream reeducation camp. He's making me doubt my position now. I don't like having doubts brought into my brave new future.
