The mempool is not that congested yet, what is the feerate that you used?
5.20 sat/vbyte, i didn't select "mempool" while selecting fee rate, it was set to "static" if it makes any difference

Hello. I'm sorry I'm not very transaction-savvy, today my segwit transactions are stuck with no confirmations for 6+ hrs, does everyone have the same issue? Is the network going mad because of recent price changes? My fees were set to default in electrum (5.20 sat/vbyte), a few days ago I was able to get two confirmation in less than 10 mins.. Thank you!
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Two months since Tesla BTC purchase. Corporate buying less than expected? on: April 08, 2021, 10:14:03 AM
We remember that day when the news came out. BTC shot up from $38K to 44K and to 48K the day after. People expected an avalanche of big companies to buy BTC. So far it hasn't happened yet it seems. We have seen news about some companies around the world buying crypto but they were not "big" big players like Tesla. Do you think corporate buying so far was not as big as we expected when Tesla made the news?

Why you guys keep discussing that same thing over and over again instead of looking 2-3 posts around (or even using search)?!

This topic is about the same thing: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5329214
This topic may also help: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5329096

My thread is about big names expected to come into the BTC world as investors.

BTW the majority of talk in this forum section is about the same thing (future of BTC/ BTC price) if you haven't noticed.

Hi.

Nowadays everyone is talking about the institutions getting into the game and how this is going to turn BTC into a serious asset, not a speculative one because they will hold it for a long time thus decreasing volatility.

But hodling is a clearly inferior strategy especially if an asset is volatile. I get that just hodling worked for practitioners and they got stupid returns (I'm a small time investor myself) but it was possible because BTC is a "new paradigm" asset that was worth peanuts in the "early days" (whenever that was for you) and just holding onto coins ignoring ups and downs still gave people fortunes.

Real smart strategy is to buy and low sell high obviously, and if an entity has $50M to dump into BTC, they can afford a guy who will watch the market and sell some if the price goes down to buy later at a lower price. Just because they transferred their chunk from coinbase to an unknown wallet, doesn't mean they can't transfer it back.

At some point this bull market is going to top, and there will be selling. Institutions are more calculated than retail, but no one wants to be last when a selloff happens, no matter if you're big or small. So if we get to let's say $200K and fall from 50% there, BTC will still be a speculative asset, because all those institutions who poured in at $110-200K will not be in profit and if they keep their stash their hope will be price appreciation in the future (speculation).

I guess if some biblical super cycle occurs and BTC eats gold and other "safe" investments in one go it will become the main "store of value" game in town and not a speculative asset anymore. But that seems to be too optimistic for now, although who knows.

Anyway, what do you think about this institutional investor thing?

The effort to make silver manipulators squeal by sweeping physical is materializing on WSB.

I added some coins to my small collection today. My last silver purchase was like 3 years ago.



For the sake of sound money, you can do it too. Worst case scenario it's a shiny gift.
15  Economy / Speculation / Re: MicroStrategy is planning ANOTHER $600 million convertible debt sale to buy BTC on: February 16, 2021, 07:09:46 PM
instead of buying his bonds you can buy btc or some btc product of you're a boomer

and maybe i'm missing something, but if he wanted to have a ton of btc he should've just stfu and not talk up the the coin all over the internet until he had enough. i mean, you host a conference telling everyone to buy, and then you borrow to buy @ 50K...
16  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin just smashed $50k on: February 16, 2021, 02:17:53 PM
And back to 48.8K. The coin didn't smash 50K, it poked his head out of 50K.  Smiley I guess it's the volume. The bigger the price, the more money needed to push.
17  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin just smashed $50k on: February 16, 2021, 12:36:26 PM
Yup, congrats to all!  Grin Now 100k seems reachable.
