yes totally agree with you on your last point....
The highway analogy was not about space to build the highway, but rather it doesn't matter how many lanes are built, it will still eventually get to the same outcome as a 1 lane highway. You will still end up with traffic congestion, nothing has been solved. I was merely trying to associate with the fact bitcoin developers was not concerned with building more lanes, ie increase block size, but focusing on alternate transport methods or alternate transport habits. ie layer 2 scaling.
As I pointed out earlier, and I quote: Stupid analogy is stupid. There also comes to a point where you may never be able to run full node from scratch. Based on a 30sec a 1MB validation time
According to statement by gmaxwell, Core 'nodes' do not verify back to the genesis block, relying instead upon checkpoints. I deigned to just accept his assertion on this point - it may be incorrect. and i have read somewhere that it may be quadratically longer the bigger the block.
Yes. Operative word is _may_. One is able to construct an aberrant block that requires quadratic time to verify. Fortunately, this is a self-rectifying non-problem. Just to confirm the 30sec theory, i'd shutdown my Bitcoin Node, was 8 blocks behind, fired it back up and it took about 5mins to catch up 10 blocks, two blocks was found while validating/catching up.
Folly of trying to limit the performance of our lifetime's second most significant technological achievement, only in order to satisfy having essentially zero skin in the game, is duly noted.

I was 1 BTC away from my cryptowinter accumulation goal. I'm still holding out hope for a $1,000 discount from here  I’m 2.1 BTC away from a round number that I set myself as my total HODL stash. I might be able to reach it if we stay in this range until maybe Xmas. If not then whatever, I have enough. Just a bit of OCD wanting to reach a certain figure. I am 16.15 BTC away. I'm a bit more than 16.15 BTC above my number. You can have some of mine, since you are so nice and sweet.  I am only 4.5 BTC away from 10btc. It'll take a while if bitcoin keeps rising like this. 5 was my first target and I accomplished it a few weeks ago. 10 is next. 21 is after that. I'll probably cash out to lambo (by lambo i mean whatever i like) before I reach 21 but who knows. Tone Vays says sub $3k, even sub 2k is still possible. I might get 4-5 coins instantly if that happens.

Relaxation level  Don't agree with you, actually. The third picture should include much higher level of relaxation, don't you think so?

Have you seen that dude's hair ? Can't trust anyone with hair that bad. I would like to think that $3,000 has quickly disappeared from our rear view mirrors, and won't be seen again. New floor is being established at $5,000 USD. EDIT: https://twitter.com/BtcBlockBot/status/1115722874013331459 EDIT2: Holy sheeit !  prepare for the dump?

Come on guys, let's not change the trend of being only bullish here! I thought we might dip further but support is strong in this one. If support does fail at $5.2k it seems it wont be for long and if we do so will most likely come back upwards with gusto. #dyor 4h  #stronghands

I'm a bit more than 16.15 BTC above my number. You can have some of mine, since you are so nice and sweet.  I am also nice and sweet. I could do with that amount if Palmodar refuses. Would even merit you (not that I am selling merit or anything). Think about it.... I will be here. P.S.: 19VBmRQVqrtNTGiwngZutwREagcKxJgVZM Respected Sir @LFC! In case Palmodar refuses your precious gift and bitserve changes his decision of having your bitcoin, I'd like to bring myself to your attention. For your 16.15 BTC, apart from being nice and sweet, I can do anything you require in the upcoming three years. My responsibilities may include from Haskell programming to your s*** washing. Looking forward to hearing from you.
$330 million moved, that screams scary oh oh no good bad day to me.
Well, I'm still hoping to get this one filled up, so a nice dump can definitely help at this point:

Come on guys, let's not change the trend of being only bullish here! Well, one thing is for sure. The price won't go beyond $6,000 level with one go. A lot of shorters waiting up there. It is an obvious spot to short being a long time support level last year.
