... the Metcalfe's law concept for the value of a monetary network reflected as bitcoin price in fiat that is related to the number of transactions or number of wallets is definitely interesting, and has worked well for Bitcoin in the early days when the network was small but growing exponentially fast.
... now I'm wondering if it Metcalfe needs to be tweaked to include a weighting to the value of transactions on the network, or value in wallets, rather simple numerical quantity of TX or wallets? The value of the phone network clearly increases as the number of users adopt the network but each user can make more or less or longer or shorter calls and doesn't really affect the total value of the network. Bitcoin is somewhat more like the electricity grid network where the size of the user, or generator, that connects to the network would have a bearing on the total value of the network different from simply number of users. E.g. if a large utility, or aluminum smelter, decided to abandon the electricity network that clearly has a bigger impact on total value of the network that some random Joe that goes off-grid but each represent a single user on the network.
I always thought that Metcalfe was a bit of a simplification. Clearly, connections have different weightings, some potentially negative. The same overall square law applies but this introduces several nuances. More users has meant an increase in connections but restricted transactions (without a fully functioning second layer) and hence increased friction has reduced the value of many/most of those connections. This is, apparently, an acceptable tradeoff for being able to run a full Bitcoin node on a smartphone from 2012. "As long as the participants in the network keep growing over time, the value of the network rises exponentially. Generally speaking, the more volatility the price has, the higher the return over time IF the network grows."

HOPIUM (Wyckoff). regarding my theory that crawler (whoever it is) are scanning this thread ongoing. after I posted the pic I had immediately 14 viewers of the pic on imgur. lurkers? /s Some technical types are running bots or using a service, to check if their names are mentioned or their posts are quoted, which will then notify them via PM or Telegram. Isn't that right LoyceV, sheenshane, suchmoon, fillippone et tu JayJuanGee? My scraper doesn't download any images, only the HTML.

Thanks, also found myself this one for sharing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMSJDhacNL4No live pics, only race data. EDIT: Out of sMerit, so +1 WOsMerit for the livestream (no sound, though, but it's cool for me without)

Veekay seems to be the (EDIT: one of the) best race driver(s) in the field, but loses much time on every pitstop, compared to the competitors. I hold my thumbs that he stays in the race until finish, he seems to have real chances to win this thing.

No probs! We just need him to finish the race & not crash because that’ll provide meme material for years
