You said it. Correlation doesn’t mean causation. There are a ton of factors at play.

If your change goes below the dust limit, it’s pretty much your only option. I've definitely messed up fees trying to hurry things.

Yeah, but using the site isn’t hard. Just checked jochen-hoenicke; tons of transactions at 1 sat/vB. Setting it at 7 sat/vB should get my transaction confirmed faster.

I feel you. I prefer using jochen-hoenicke too. Mempool.space is kind of a mess design-wise. The color bands are annoying; it mixes hot and cold colors weirdly. It’s like they want to confuse us.

I used to trust mempool.space for fee advice but lately it seems overpriced. I sent a couple of transactions at 6 sat/vB, and they got confirmed fairly quickly, like within three or four blocks. Not sure if I should…

I think that's a bit too negative. With growing institutional interest, we might see that price sooner than expected. Always a good time to buy as long as you’ve got a long-term plan.

Every time I hear news like this, I feel motivated. If these big players can stack Bitcoin, why not me? People need to stop waiting for the ‘perfect moment’!

I’d say it’s likely, but I wouldn’t bet everything on it. Thinking short-term is a red flag. A four-year plan feels more sensible.

I’m with you on that. Even drug dealers probably prefer cash. And there's always gonna be a limit on how much you can spend with a digital app.

For real. But let’s not forget, in places like the EU, regulations are still pretty tight. Gotta deal with KYC just to use your own funds which kinda defeats the purpose.

It’s about perspective. Just like some think Bitcoin is their best shot. The way things are evolving, real estate's allure is fading.

Nice essay, but don’t act like you know more than us.

Feels kinda wrong to forget McAfee. He was a big name in Bitcoin at one time. There are better faces now, though.

Yes, I’ve seen the nonsense of taking a sample period of less than a month and drawing conclusions from it, which is treating the viewer like an idiot. It’s been done by commentators I used to have some respect for,…

Not really prepared for that. My investments are spread out, so if Bitcoin hit zero, it would hurt, but I wouldn’t lose it all. I don’t sweat unlikely scenarios too much. Bitcoin’s legal status and institutional…

I think he’s playing a character at this point. He even claimed he drove Bitcoin buyers to it by being anti-Bitcoin. He knows his stuff, but it feels like he’s just playing a role.

I see a lot of bearish predictions here. Strategic reserves might change the game. If the US approves theirs, we could see some movement this year. Easing into the $500k mark isn’t impossible.

Close to $60k, but I doubt it’ll hold as support. Price looks set to drop further. There’s too much FUD around, especially from major buyers. I wouldn't be shocked if we hit $40k this year.

It might work out if you’re super lucky, but generally, you’ll wipe out quickly. Normal market swings can obliterate you. Better off at a casino, honestly.

When he takes office, I don't think it’ll affect the price much. If anything, it’ll probably dip due to the ‘buy the rumor, sell the news’ thing. Unless he makes a big announcement about Bitcoin, we’re looking at normal…
