Supposedly. He’d always show his bank account having $0 on his shows and how he lives only on Bitcoin. But then he started pushing his Bitcoin backed loans service and uses that instead. Who really knows.
But Bitcoin is so cumbersome!
Jokes aside, great work.
Once I created the transaction, it didn't get to the mempool right away, like it usually does in Sparrow. It did get into the mempool eventually, though - maybe after about 5 minutes.
There is no the mempool, but rather a mempool. 😜
OCEAN will be performing planned maintenance/upgrades to core infrastructure from 2025-11-17 1300 UTC to 2025-11-21 2200 UTC. We expect no noticeable customer impact.
Even though they say no impact, the drop(s) seems to coincide with the maintenance window.
- Sending sats to the same address and not using a unique address.
- Stopped looking into Bitcoin in 2010/2011 after downloading the all-in-one client that was presumably mining on my PC at the time. No idea if I had mined a block but those sats are long gone…probably.
- Stopping DCAing. Just leave it.
- Not starting home mining earlier.
- If you’re home mining and you’re directing exhaust out of a mechanical closet be mindful of negative pressure interfering with combustion exhaust mechanisms.
You still have property tax and home owners insurance to deal with after you pay off your home. These are often overlooked when lumped in with the monthly mortgage payment.
Moreover, my repayment of the loan is denominated in terms of the worthless asset, so the real value of that loan is only going to go down over time.
Are you talking about fiat being an asset here? Confused by your wording.
When I see people try to pay off their mortgages early, so they can own their home "free and clear", despite the mortgage being lower interest than what they could earn elsewhere, I shake my head.
What’s wrong with that when you can funnel the extra fiat towards other appreciating assets and stores of value?
I read this article and nothing really stood out as ground-breaking. For the working class, we all know we're small cogs in a money machine. The whole inflation is actual currency debasement debate is fair, but why? Prices rise for a number of reasons, like natural disasters, disease, etc. This doesn't mean the currency is being debased, but more of a supply/demand problem. Just felt like this article didn't go deep enough and just said things some of us already know.
This is great but still looks like a lot of friction getting merchants to setup Bitcoin payments in their terminals. Only way I see this working for the majority is if customers request it.
