I even read a fake article stating that ETF got approved today. April fool is certainly an interesting day for crypto.

I read that article from my GApp News app. It must be quite confusing at first for the non-crypto folks or the newbies. I wouldn't be surprised if a dumb whale actually panic bought the news (err, fake news).

I hope it gets accepted :) Quote from: Luke Dashjr ==Motivation== Certain parts of the community have been selling bitcoins for unreasonably low prices. This has halted Bitcoin's valuation at $20k and even driven the price down below $15k! However, clearly Bitcoin is worth much more than that, and there is widespread support for higher prices. bip-usdprice defines a new field to indicate the price of transactions. Using this, we can softfork to require a minimum transaction price. ==Specification== Beginning with block height 622370 (expected approximately 2020 April 1), a block is reject as invalid unless all transactions it contains both declare a USD/BTC price (as defined in bip-usdprice) and specify a price that is at a minimum $50k USD/BTC. ==Backwards compatibility== As a soft fork, older nodes will continue to accept the blockchain without modification. Non-upgraded nodes, however, will not validate the minimum price requirement, and may accept invalid blocks if miners choose to make them. Since transactions not declaring a price are at this time still common-place, the softfork activation has been set a full year into the future to ensure time to upgrade both nodes and wallet software. https://github.com/luke-jr/bitcoin/compare/usd_price_tx_field...softfork_50k This is another great Luke-jr contribution! Where are my 300k blocks?

The effort seems like a good idea on surface, but upon closer inspection, it's clear that we are under the spell of a scammer. He isn't proposing 50k blocks at it should be, but $50k price! This is insanity. We need blocks that can fit within spectrum tapes immediately, forget about the damn price.

Crypto is so weird sometimes. |
