Central bank and government adoption of #Bitcoin accelerates white market adoption of Bitcoin. People tend to think this is a good thing but only because they don't understand the value proposition of Bitcoin is actually as black market money. 1/3

Currently #Dogecoin is beating #BitcoinCash in on-chain tx volume. Goes to show that #Bcash is nothing but marketing gimmicks and sockpuppets trying to confuse uneducated investors.

Just realized that "fee market" is a complete misnomer. There are no "fees" in #Bitcoin . When you send a tx you aren't paying a fee, you are simply bidding to purchase blockspace. Miners sell blockspace and user purchase it. Its a blockspace market.

The state is well aware of this attack vector. Advocating for government approval and regulation of #Bitcoin mining is a reverse trojan horse that can lead to on-chain censorship. White market hash is 100% a security risk. The only secure hash is unknown (black market) hash.

Bitcoin is algorithmically enforced anarchy, there are rules but there are no rulers. Many people cannot stand this fact, they may claim to be anarchist/libertarian/voluntaryist but slowly Bitcoin reveals them. This phenomenon is also known as Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome.

A quick search will show you that there are 100s of multi-million dollar shitcoins with absolutely no liquidity. This is why the market-cap dominance chart is grossly inaccurate. Factor out all the noise and #BTC market dominance is still well over 50%.

All of these transactions are overpaying fees. Even at these levels next block fee is only 0.00003100 BTC ($0.15). Fees aren't high, the fee estimators are... 1. Use wallets with custom fees, RBF, and CPFP 2. Manually check mempool before each tx 3. Optimize for next block.

Veriblock was the project that used BTC txs as a means to secure its own chain, so-called Proof of Proof. This is what happens when you try to ride on the coattails of BTC's success. You get priced out because your coin has no use-case other than gimmicks that profit the founders

@ocean_mining In reality you're not filtering anything, you're building on and securing blocks with spam in them. Even your filtered block contains close to 50 inscriptions, while also losing out on 11% in fees. Blockspace marxism is futile and ends only in bankruptcy.

@liron @0xCryptoCafe @MartyBent This is not "your hack", it's a 51% attack and it's been known about since the white paper. The person you're sending BTC to can just wait for more confirmations, meaning you have to perpetually sink more hash and capital into a chain that may or may not have the most work.

The fundamental laws of information theory dictate that if your system can store anything at all, it can also store JSON data. For those who don't know, JPEGS aren't even the problem anymore. Its BRC20/SRC20/RUNES, which are all just JSON data. There is no way to stop this.
