High fees keep the miners happy and make them not feel so much the halving.
So this is also a good test for us, the users, since by design the fees can't stay too low and the mining remain such a good business.

And there are always some idiots willing to pay for crap, so I'd expect more the ordinals/runes/whatever hype go off (sooner or later) than these guys run out of sats (or BTCs, seeing what has happened at the halving block)

Nice story, but this means you will have to find a lender who cares about trusts RSR as much as you do, which may be difficult.
Any lender would have to also take the risk that if RSR falls before you pay your loan... bad luck. Do you truly believe anyone would fall for this fit this profile?

Of course, it can also be because somebody was too keen to do it, didn't know too well what's doing and now he/she may be crying for stupidly spending so much money.
PS. I don't care if it's a whale or not, it's still wasted money for a piece of useless movie clip nobody will care about in a year (or even a week).

That's 100% correct. Just then the correct way to put it is that common mortals like us get less fiat for same work and our life is getting more difficult(*), not that the world economy is declining, isn't it?

(*) of course, Bitcoin fixes this and the usual morale is that we should still stack sats as long as we can

Woah! Impressive #fail. Call me evil, but "I'm lovin' it".

I want to also share that I've just seen on twitter that Norbert (which I was following since the trial of CSW) was just (2h ago) reposted some other(s) who have lost money trying to do with ordinals/runes things they don't understand. Of course, now they hate Bitcoin (because allowed them shoot themselves in the foot) heh...

Am I hoping too much if I hope for this trend to continue and before too long these peeps leave Bitcoin alone?

Ei, am trait sa o vad si pe asta: a inteles lumea ca un concurs cu premii / o tombola este un mod destul de ieftin sa iti faci reclama. Rezultatul? Incep sa fie atatea tombole incat nu mai pot sa tin pasul.
Si acum sunt destul de multe in "Games and rounds", dar nu am suficient timp sa ma uit care sunt cele noi si sa scriu despre ele aici.

Legat de concursul HugeWin postat anterior, am aflat niste detalii interesante:
- se pare ca este permis ca doi sa prezica acelasi minut, si chiar mai mult, daca doi participanti aleg acelasi minut si castiga, s-ar putea sa se dubleze premiul?! Cel putin asta s-a scris aici. (*)
- se pare ca cine scrie 0' ca predictie va castiga (si) in caz de 0 - 0 (*)
- cum ma asteptam, a fost confirmat ca cine va castiga va primi acei bani in contul HugeWin, mai mult, pot fi retrasi banii instantaneu; s-a scris asta si pe pagina concursului.


Voi adauga despre cele doua puncte pe care le-am marcat cu (*) ca s-ar putea sa existe eroare de traducere ici-colo si in realitate regula sa fie oarecum diferita. (Cel putin eu ma asteptam la ceva oarecum diferit, deci am fost surprins de raspuns).


Bafta la toata lumea!

Mai adaug una. Am observat ca vinerea cei de la Satochip posteaza pe Twitter un fel de concurs: trebuie sa raspunzi la ceva intrebari legate de Bitcoin, sa mai faci niste chestii de gen follow, repost, tag si poti castiga (dupa tragere la sorti) vreunul din produsele lor. Nu stiu exact/complet regulile (de ex cat tine) si nici nu imi pasa prea mult.
Si cum concursul nu e pe Bitcointalk nici nu o sa scriu mai mult despre asta; cine e interesat... sa sape un pic.

Of course, I also expect that this is advertising, not just throwing money away and I also guess that they'll try to make it in a way they can benefit off it i.e. getting people try their platform. I find this normal and okay.
But some clarity can help so people don't have to guess or build some unrealistic expectations.

I'm not sure I understood your point on QC, but:
* you try to fix a problem we don't have (maybe you'll say "not yet", but I think that proper QC is not that close)
* if QC will be able to easily "crack" bitcoin and old addresses, then I expect there are other things (from SSL to bank accounts and nuke access) that are at higher priority to be fixed; but imho QC are not stable enough yet to perform something useful
* There's a very interesting image, it's all over the internet. Just read the text around it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=430000.msg4713025#msg4713025  I guess that QC can't do magic and has to obey the physical laws, right?

And what stops you from getting away those users' few dollars and claim it's a bug or they've done something wrong?
If you don't trust others, no problem, but then you should not expect anything else from others, especially as newcomer; as you said, this is internet.

So my advice: just test it yourself.

It would be very nice and useful to add to that contest some clarifications and rules like:
* will the win go to HugeWin account or wallet?
* if it goes to to HugeWin account, what are the requirements before withdrawal?
* what happens if two people make the same prediction?
* what happens if it ends 0 - 0, will the highest time predicted win, or nobody?

I do agree with the first post: the salaries tend to remain small and the prices are skyrocketing; what happens with the prices is normal, since all the central banks are printing money like crazy since the COVID days. What happens with salaries.. is not.

But the signals I've read here and there about the industries are better than in the last 2-3 years, quite some businesses seem to be recovering. And that would be the opposite of decline, even though it needs more time on this trend in order to gain the so needed confidence.

It's an old problem. The usual fix used to be to add a top or bottom row (or header) with cells consisting of as many underscores you want for correct spacing.

Let me try:

This was discussed a lot of times. No. No matter how old some untouched coins are, no matter how nice is the name under which you're saying it, what you propose is stealing.
Some are HODLing, some have collectibles with coins stuck on them - on purpose - virtually forever. Why would they move their coins because of a new rule? Again. No.

While I won't disagree with you on what will happen in the future, ... the market didn't look in the past 8 days like "buy the hype", it was already in the "sell the news" mood.
Plus, I've read some already telling that the current trend has already bottomed. I fear they may have been calling it a bit in haste, but you never know...


Of course, I'll just sit and wait too see what's going to happen (and stack a few more sats if I can), but I'd like to hear other opinions too on this...

Nowadays people tend to get their fruits... from the supermarket, no longer being interested whether they are from the trees or molded from plastic (the exaggeration is intentional).

This goes on including to Bitcoin seen as a get-rich-quick scheme. Many don't care about the basics, many just want shortcuts and  something easy that's the mentality about everything nowadays.
That's also the reason ETF are such a success: "nobody cares" about a wallet that has to be kept safely, that's for geeks (like us), all they care is a piece of paper telling how rich they are (yeah, in that ever-printed fiat, but they don't care about that either, since they may have been taking shortcuts at the math class too).
