OT: an Altcoin rant...
Some poop, called Filecoin, is trading (FIL, first day) at $70, which with 2bil max coins means a projected market cap of 140bil. Color me skeptical. Decentralized storage? Who gives a flying f-k?
Storage coins again? What next, a rehash of all those dumb marijuana coins?

Finally: Excited to be supporting more Bitcoin protocol development. This is a great start, but hopefully we can expand this program over time.
Thank you to @PeterMcCormack for the push on his podcast to get this over the line 🙏

Michael Saylor mentioned in his recent long podcast with Peter that he is going to fund a yet to be determined Bitcoin developer as well and will likely extend over time.

Fun fact: The current block subsidy (6.25 btc) is the same number as the percentage of total coins (6.25%) that will be issued over the course of this current emission era. This is true for all emission eras.

Bitcoin bla bla, schnorr bla bla. Here's a cat picture I took out a transport cage to clean it up this summer, went back in to get some water and paper and when I came back out five feral cats had decided to take a nap in it, I postponed the cleaning and took a picture instead.

Schnorr and Taproot Upgrade Proposal Merged Into Bitcoin Core.The implementation of the Schnorr/Taproot consensus rules has been merged into Bitcoin Core. However, the upgrade's activation method has yet to be determined.
The pull request was originally created by Bitcoin Core contributor Pieter Wuille on September 13th and has gone through extensive review and testing over the past month. Over 150 developers also participated in a 7-week review club for the proposal which was led by Anthony Towns back in November of 2019.
This upgrade has been highly anticipated due to its potential to increase Bitcoin’s smart contract capabilities while simultaneously benefiting its transactional privacy. God save us from any upgrade's activation method debate!  I am not ready for a segwit, no2x, big block kind of drama now. We have other things to do.  Like what? Sit around twittling our thumbs?  Sorry, Jay, Royal We was used there.

could be the reason for the small drop... buy the dip https://cointelegraph.com/news/btc-and-okb-plunge-after-okex-suspends-withdrawals"Major exchange OKEx suddenly suspended crypto withdrawals while one its key custodians cooperates with an investigation, shaking the crypto markets Major crypto asset exchange OKEx has suspended cryptocurrency withdrawals, announcing that one of the holders of its private keys is “currently cooperating with a public security bureau” concerning ongoing “investigations.” The exchange noted that it has been “out of touch” with the key-holder, preventing the "associated authorization" from being completed. OKEx plans to resume digital asset withdrawals “immediately” once the key-holder “is able to authorize the transaction.”"

[Rhetorical] Why do people still keep massive funds at exchanges?!
Because they live in the belief that Bitcoin is the same as fiat, so if they are used to keeping fiat in the bank, then they behave identically to BTC - which is completely wrong. Someone calculated a few days ago that only a few top crypto exchanges have in their possession just under 2 million BTC. There is no doubt that hackers really appreciate things like this, crypto is much easier to steal and spend without catching you.
