This will be the case ever less as fees become more worth it and block rewards less so. Thanks V8. Haven't sent a merit in quite a while as I have been low. Thought I was as down to my last one but had 3 apparently. Take some of mine  Wow. I wasn't begging but thank you. |

can someone answer a Bitcoin related question for me please?
I have been watching mempool.space and noticed that block 624652 was mined and was empty yet there were enough transactions in mempool to fill another 4 blocks?
How come?
Sorry if this seams like a noob question but thought I would get more sense out of this thread than elsewhere. Besides I don't venture out of here much anyway.

JJG should have posted this one though! Well, i'm not in the US. I'm in a country with one of the best healthcare systems on earth. And we're very short on ICU's here already. You can have a million ventilators, if you don't have the tech and staff to operate them, you're fucked. Don't care, at least General Motors will be fine. The army will take care of this soon. Here's the intelligence of the army, rounded up in a nice little picture:  The first one to find the error gets a Merit from me. No Gloves so touching the top with bare hands makes a transfer spot. Well if he is about to sanitizer his hands then it doesn't matter does it? The next person would do the same too. Only problem I see is if he were to push the plunger then immediately touch his face before washing his hand with the sanitizer in the other hand. Or maybe Im being too simplistic here? |

The conspiracy theorist in me says what if this whole thing ends up being an excuse for the powers that be to tighten up social media and media in general?
If after all this turns out to be the biggest overreaction in history it will be very easy to blame the media outlets for creating the furor in the first place.
Food for thought.

Market Cap of Bitcoin in 2025 - Trillion -??
The trouble is that when that happens we wont want $ anymore. Wait, what am I saying? We dont want filthy FIAT now. Go Bitcoin Go |

Hopefully everyone is there.
I had to understand, within the past, we all know that Bitcoin has nothing to try to with a stock exchange but nowadays, with the decline, many of us are writing that Bitcoin could also be tons dissolved, but I can personally say that the position of Bitcoin is formed. it's won for disappearing
Can anyone explain a touch to me or how am i able to determine more about this?
? Is this a new form of English? |

Well well well, wtf happened!
Took me almost half a day to catch up with this thread.
Oh and I see BTC took a little nose dive. Meh. Still Hodling.
Hey Mindrust bit of a pussy /j.
Many of us lost a lot more than that and are still here.
If I were you I would leave this thread and go on to do something productive with yourself as you are likely to become rather bitter (roachlike) when price goes the up.
Never go full retard.
To all my WO brethren who held firm I salute you.

not saying you are wrong much, just here and there (medical care is free in China lol), no need for long inquisitions. just your narrative would be more convincing if you didn't let these glaring errors interfere.  Lol that meme is sooo good. All out of merit +1 V8 |

Those WO’s get everywhere..... 
Fleeing from Coronavirus led me here:  But I am ready to to go back to Coronavirus-land tomorrow. Every time I see this gesture I think “Are they trying to tell me that I am tight @sshole?” Then I remember that we are WO and that we are all tight @ssholes when it comes to BTC. HODL. |

Yep I am a boomer too and don’t like the way we are all tarnished with the same brush.
It’s always easy in hindsight to see where we/you went wrong. I am sure the Greta’s children generation will look back and poke a whole bunch of holes in their parents decisions too.
At 56 maybe I should cash out my BTC before Corona gets Mee too!

Bought another 0.1 BTC on this dip.
Spent more than I originally planned this week already.

Well I guess the poll has been answered.
Crap.

I made another small buy the day before yesterday at $10100.
We then had the mini dump, correction to $97xx and I was thinking oh crap.
But a day later and I am in the green again and I began to think that surely it is always better to buy at the top than it is to sell at the bottom.
Long live king Bitcoin.

A dark rainy night
I just shot my dear old cat
Tears rolling down my face
Sorry to hear that. I had to put my 15 year old standard poodle down last week. Most unpleasant. Commiserations to both of you. What was it Arrie, a car accident? 15 is pretty good machasm for a big dog. so sorry. Appreciate the thoughts. He had a pretty good life and the missus and I could do with a break now. Looking to do some travelling now that we don’t have to be home looking after him. Every cloud and all that. At least BTC is looking good recently. |
