Looks like fees have gotten so low that the Bitcoin network is catching up on many backlogged transactions. @mononautical would be great to hear your thoughts on this.

@embersunn MacOS is pretty good. Definitely expanded my horizons after using Windows for decades. Are devs at Sensus Healthcare required to use one OS or another? We all have to use MacOS where I work.

@embersunn Give Kotlin a look (it runs on the JVM). You may never go back to Java.

@emreloperr If platforms like Reddit, StackOverflow, and Wikipedia die because of LLMs, then where will they get future training material from?

@timfarmer LOL. You've got to be a pro to look like an amateur without crashing!

@DocumentingBTC There I am!

@BTCGandalf The empty battery compartment is probably just for backup batteries.

@MichaelOnBTC @PeterSchiff That it will never go to $10M.

@The_Old_Taylor A capital gains exclusion would make sense! Allow people to use BTC for normal purchases and not worry about taxes. But I would think cap gains would still be in place for large amounts (similar to selling your home).

@BountifulB33 @Mandrik Interesting. So it's kind of like having your BTC on an exchange. If I had one of those, I would transfer the BTC to my private wallet ASAP, and just keep the coin as a souvenir. They're nice looking coins!

@BountifulB33 @Mandrik And the BTC is still there? What prevents the hologram creator from just stealing it from that wallet?

@Bitcoin_Teddy I sold all my BTC for $TRUMP. It's going up forever.

@BitcoinSapiens Maybe after his family cashes out of $TRUMP (and it goes to zero) he'll embrace Bitcoin for real. Until then, he's on top of the world and just seems to be saying he supports Bitcoin, LOL.

@The_Old_Taylor Perhaps. I won't complain if they truly end up as Bitcoiners.

@HodlingCarla Hawk Tuah.

@rajatsonifnance And what about cryptocurrencies on those blockchains (like $TRUMP on Solana)? How much worse?

@goddeketal It's the town services you pay for, although I cannot vouch for the fiscal responsibility of towns. You could put your house in the middle of nowhere and not pay much in property taxes.

@parman_the So only one node on port 8333 and the rest on others? How do nodes on the BTC network discover your non-8333 nodes? And how is usage with your ISP overall (I'm assuming you previously downloaded the blockchain). Curious because was thinking of running another at my home.
