If anyone here is keeping an eye on the mempool like I am you would have noticed a huge increase in transactions today. For the last few weeks we have pretty much been running empty blocks. Number of tranasactions in the pipeline has been sitting below 2000 for a good portion of the time and often into the hundreds at certain stages.
Well, today the number of transaction rocketed up to over 40,000 (currently above 20k). This could mean 2 things, someone has spammed the network in a massive way after the El Salvador announcemnet to make it look like demand for Bitcoin has returned. Or demand has actually returned. Considering the bounce in the price it may very well be the second option. To see if we get any follow through on this recent event we should see continued high transaction numbers. Keeping an eye on new short-term holder addresses is also a good way to confirm the demand, an increase in these addresses would mean an increase in demand for BTC again.
Fingers crossed this all keeps up, because if it does a bottom has been put in place.

Speaking of Volcanos... Tee hee... *EDIT!* Oh wow... I would love to take credit for this... but it really was the volcano. Shouldn't be a triangle though but rather a down channel.

lets see if this channel holds

Yes this day is a cause for celebration and others will follow. Also note this is Bitcoin, not crypto, not some kind of shitcoin, but Bitcoin. And they will be focusing on the Lightning network.

Up up up !
Hopefully this time it stays up. If it stays up for more than four hours, consult a doctor. Wrong. Consult a brothel is what you do.

https://twitter.com/nayibbukele/status/14016225483963146311. Great weather, world class surfing beaches, beach front properties for sale. 2. One of the few countries in the world with no property tax. 3. No capital gains tax for #Bitcoin, since it will be a legal currency. 4. Immediate permanent residence for crypto entrepreneurs. ... damn this sounds tempting. Will be really interesting to see what happens next with El Salvador welcoming the 'smartest people in the room'. There'll probably be a fight first though, IMF and USA have allready contacted El Salvador about it all apparently. You never know, El Salavador might have some freedom coming their way, before we can all relocate there. Unless USA and IMF wants to be hated by the whole world, they'd be smart to leave this one alone. Hang on, are you saying that the US and IMF aren't already hated? More countries will follow, so if you wait you can pick another country of your choise, they will compete for those smart people.
Yep there will be at least a couple more. Purely as a way for those countries to get new capital investment from the space.

Hey Harvard I'm in relationship with bitcoin does this count? And harvard is 100% right about this. But happiness from family is not exactly profitable for corporations as family is free to enjoy (other than covering needs house, food, etc). That's why we get mass manipulation from the media and corporations, orchestrated by people such as Edward Bernays, in an effort to undermine the traditional family unit and instead focus everyone's mind on satisfying the individuals wants and desires through consumerism. This reduces wealth being passed on through the generations, meaning that employees remain desperate and without power, while also having the benefit of destroying the planet.

Was thinking the current price action is a clear example of an irrational market. Bitcoin just got legal tender in a fucking country! But maybe the market is scared of the potential consequences. The US surely is not going to like a declining demand for their USD, which is was the only currency of El Salvador. Need to stop it in its tracks, before some other countries get wild ideas? I was a bit afraid when Jack Mallers announced the El Salvador bitcoin adoption while the bill had not been passed yet. The US could have acted quickly. Perhaps the market was afraid El Salvador would get stopped, which would surely have been bearish news. Let's see. I think with El Salvador now having Bitcoin as legal tender, Michael Saylor buying another chunk, and Taproot surely being activated this difficulty epoch, we might have seen the bottom for now. Yeah its funny isn't. This is the day many years ago that we were dreaming of, it is a massive historical event in Bitcoin's history and no real market reaction and barely a murmour on these boards. While the price is not too exciting right now, I have probably never been so exciting about bitcoin then this moment. A country (sure it is small, but that's how this things start) adopting it as its currency, holy shit that is a big deal, and what's more it is doing it by making heavy use of Bitcoin's 2nd layer solutions. We are about to see why all the shitcoins that tout low fees and fast transaction times are completely pointless. This is a massive moment and I'm glad everyone here is able to experience it.

1.6billion is surprising, and good to see, I wonder when all those Bitcoin ETF approval dates are. Saylor is putting himself in a hell of a position here still I think. If the price does dump below 20k he will have to be in trouble.

We really do have a mega H&S forming on the daily. Looks horrid and everyone can see it and is probably trading it.
|

Hmm, maybe the next drop will bring on a bounce. I'm thinking a move down to 30k then back to 34k. Why? because why not.
A rise till Friday perhaps, all nice and ready for the weekend dump.
Edit: it's trying.
|
|

ugh chart buddy
and damn we stayed over 32k all night long
I may buy some at 32.9
We may have stayed above 32k but no rebound has happened and looking like it may breakdown again very soon.

Demand has dropped off to a massive degree because there are far fewer newcomers coming into the space right now. network congestion won't happen again until we have new buyers coming back in.
Been like this during the whole difficulty period so far, not just today. Previous period was clearing up the mempool too.

But his handler can. And at least I'm a Swedish bot. Bot.
Beep!

Nah, blame chartbuddy, bully him, and call him names I reckon. He's an utter pussy never does anything back so giving him a hard time will make you feel tougher. Are you in love with Chart Buddy? Bots in love? It's always easier to pick on someone who won't fight back, and this bot can't even reply to you, so easy target. And who you calling a bot? Bot.

DON'T PANIC ON THE TITANICbecause Wyckoff. Maybe, big Maybe. Everybody is talking about this right now so I think it unlikely to hold. Mind you I'm hoping it does. Also volume looks like shit.

this mofo chart buddy.
stay focused click ignore yeh its irritating looks like the Marianas trench Very well put, it's like the junk mail in your inbox, just every hour. Merited. look, Bitcoin is working like this: the majority comes to an agreement for accepting the txs which should be included in the next block, right? same with ChartBuddy: the majority came to the agreement that ChartBuddy (again) is very welcome in this thread, right? please don't open the Pandora's Box again. did you nothing learned from the Hash Block Limit War? Minorities have rights you know. The right to click "ignore" is sufficient for me. As for the El Salvador - IMF brawl that's on the horizon: Q: How do you tell the pioneer from the infantryman after a battle? A: The pioneer is the one with the bullet(s) in the back Ready for witnessing an epic fight. I hope it will be short and painless (for bitcoin, of course). Yeah this is a worry.
