Unconfirmed transactions under 20k just now. A fair decrease compared to 1-2 weeks back. https://mempool.space/0.31c to get in next block Edit: blink and you missed it though. Actually, unconfirmed transactions are at their lowest since 8th January. Don't know if this is good or bad.

Really? Snow in The Netherlands in May? Looking at the weatherforcast it shows on Sunday that the temprature pumping to 24°C (75°F). Same here, a couple 100's km closer to the equator, rain in the valleys, snow on the mountains (above 1200m), followed by 25° on Sunday. I'm used to this in April, but May?

You bragging eh? We will only get 17° on Sunday, and 5° at night. And it's still raining by the way. Yeah, we have April weather in May, I was hoping global warming would make it go the other way.

Nope. We only got the downsides from GW, local thunderstorms, stronger winds and dryness. BUT science says we are after the end of a warming cycle of the sun and global warming will likely be slowing down at least over the next 5 years. Means more evenly distributed rain, but less windy? hmmm - not that much better anyway... BTC recovering, time for $58k - $60k again... #NFA

BTC recovering, time for $58k - $60k again... #NFA Yeah, that was pretty much predicted at least twenty years ago. The term 'global warming' was largely replaced by "climate change"* exactly because the predicted effects were that weather extremities would become more commonplace. Not everywhere will experience warmer temperatures. So over twenty years ago, northern Europe was predicted to experience hotter drier summers, milder wetter winters and more frequent storms, for example. Which is exactly what's happening. We just had one of the driest and coldest Aprils on record, followed by the wettest first week of May on record. [*please, let's not have another tiresome debate about whether climate change exists and/or why - that one's been done to death]Just wondering, when btc finally breaks $70k and onwards, whether it will carry the alts with it? Or will it get the cane out of the cupboard and give them a damned good thrashing?

I expect they'll get punished pretty badly as those who fomo'd into some of the utter total shitcoins realised they've been fucking duped

One does not have to pay the massive fees, I never have myself, and they are always temporary. Sure that might mean that it takes a while for a confirmation, but they always go through in the end. If I ever do consider the fees to be out of reach I will then switch more of my transactions over to the LN.

It occurs to me that a limiting effect previously is that people experiencing BTC FOMO had to get their money onto the exchanges which could have blunted what was already an overheated bubble. This time a lot of money is already on the exchanges. Could get interesting.

Cheaps, 1 sat = $0.00056. Lowest than doge.
I think Marty and Matt of TFTC (as well as others) have been doing a great job pushing the "Sats the standard" narrative. But this is really a difficult problem to overcome. Unit bias has turned out to be one of the stickiest areas slowing bitcoin's inevitable acceptance. In fact I would say it is one of the very top "problems". Luckily it has a simple solution. But it seems like a tough path to overcome the thought that "no one can afford a whole bitcoin anymore". I sometimes wonder if "Sats" is a good enough word. Perhaps so. It is short, simple, and generally easy to say for people who speak all kinds of languages. And it might take some time for it to finally break through, but thinking of Bitcoin in THAT unit instead of EITHER whole coins or even USD is more important than I think many realize.

I've been advocating the switch to a marketing friendly name for mBTC for quite some time. A mBTC, even if it gets to, say, 2k$, is still a mentally manageable amount.

I personally don't like mBTC. I much prefer either whole BTC or just Satoshis. I also prefer seeing the whole 8 digits, like 0.12345678 BTC. This is just me though, and probably because I've been in the space and gotten used to it with the old wallets.
