I've been holding for some years but I've only sent a couple of transactions before today, so sorry in advance if this question is too basic.

With the ATH today I decided to make a small purchase and sent the transaction using Ledger nano. I chose the standard fee as I wasn't in a hurry. As you may well know I could have chose higher fees for higher speed and lower fees as well.

I've sent it 7 hours ago and I see it has not even 1 confirmation yet. Is that normal?

I see in blockchain.com that transaction fees are 28.9 satoshy per byte.

I am wondering if this is normal or maybe because of the ATH people are spending more and the mempool is full so transactions get delayed.

$20,645

We are breaking ATH every moment.

$ 20,370.65

I think we'll get easily to 22-23k before falling a bit again.

(Hi philipma1957)

Bump!

$2,250 @ bitstamp right now.

Note for moderators: I think it is pretty clear that I'm not breaking unofficial rule nº 21. This thread was created precisely to be bumped in a day like today.

Not only that. I have him on ignore but I recently realized that just a week after I registered I left negative trust on his profile, but I'm not DT so I think it's not easily seen.

LOL. I've just realized that he's left me both positive and negative trust.

That's why I just invest long term.

I follow traders out of curiosity and entertainment, but no matter how complicated their analysis, or their candlestick charts, fail constantly.

I am sure that many of the most famous ones earn more selling books and courses than they do from trading.

Is your opinion based on anything at all?

Because you say that you have allegedly done an analysis but have not shared with us any of the analysis you do.

My opinion is that I don't know if the bitcoin will be over $20,000 tomorrow or in a month's time but in 5 years, let's say, it will be much higher than that.

What the hell are these guys doing?

Writing posts and just saying that they have to be deleted?

Is that normal?

Shouldn't we report that?

PS: ah, ok they probably applied for this campaign and then applied for another one they prefer instead but they cannot delete the post.

You can delete this one as well.

Yes, I trust this campaign. I was laughing because I think Lightlord just forgot, I suppose he is a busy businessman. I know that he usually includes a bonus when payments are delayed.

I don't actually need the money, in my case it's just pennies, it's just that it's nice to receive the payment.

Although this post of a little nostalgia, because it's been 10 years since we heard from him, I think Satoshi's story is positive.

That the identity of the creator of Bitcoin is unknown, that he disappeared 10 years ago, that he has $1 million of Bitcoin unused, are things that give him an aura of mystery that gives and will continue to give a lot of talk.

It's a legend.

I can imagine in 100 or 200 years, if Bitcoin succeeds as we hope, people will still be talking about the possible identity of Satoshi as they still talk about the possible identity of Jack the Ripper (despite the obvious distances between the two).

Hey,

Has anyone received payment? I think Lightlord forgot about us. LOL!

Now all we need is that little by little more companies join what MS is doing. I suppose this is what will happen and it will raise the price both for the purchases of these companies and for the publicity it involves so that the masses will go from seeing bitcoin as something rare to seeing it as an asset of great value.

The whole situation reminds me of books like 1984 and Brave New World.

The conclusion I've reached is that the tough preventive measures, like lockdowns, should have been applied only to the elderly and people with risk factors. Come on! The mortality rate is less than 1%.

They are too busy striking 

It is a country with a huge amount of bureaucracy. At first glance this may make it seem surprising that it is among the most important economies in the world but in my opinion it is because of the relationship it has with its former colonies, which some call françafrique.

I don't know if I'm the only one thinking this but what OP says sounds to me like flattery to high ranked members to see if he can fish some merit. Nice try OP. At least you are not a shitposter. I have seen your post history and it seems that you will make good use of the forum.

Has Bitcoin failed?

NO.

It's changed from the original vision of a P2P currency as to be the best store of value in the world although you can still pay with it.


Not really, rich hedgefunds are getting into it but there are lots of us who hold bitcoin and there's plenty of room for the average Joe.

You don't need to quote the whole post to say that. In fact, it is better if you don't and if you do, some people will put you on ignore.

You can find an explanation here:

[TIPS] to avoid pyramid quotes (for Newbies)

It seems logical. The higher the market cap, the lower the volatility, because it takes a lot more money to vary the price. And in the future there will be even less volatility, as the price increases.

I'm not too worried about those figures as I prefer to enjoy the process.

I will enjoy quite a lot when we break 20k and keep breaking ATHs like 30k 40k so on.

Getting to $2 million in 20 years it's OK but maybe the year before the ATH is $1,9 million so the purchasing power won't be that different.

We have also to bear in mind that fiat currencies will keep depreciating and at fast pace it seems.

$2 million in 20 years maybe will be similar to $ 0.5 million today.
