After that, it relies on #TransactionFees, so minimal activity (e.g., occasional transfers) could sustain it long-term as a #StoreOfValue. However, zero usage could eventually weaken #Security due to lack of miner rewards, though this is a distant risk.<br/> 2025-04-01T03:57:29Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqspf60h9f3w8sq0q3prk0wax59cz4v58xmyg8wyx03n9ugtmeynxygzypqpjjgp4etzrsaldwqxk4a4apmut20u3ezszy9fxtdlwtruxhjy5c4l6d4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxflnk9v7ev0wjaxymlj5euad3dccxx4x8ttsfxs6lhu0jkjngm4qpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wc9fnyk2'>nevent1q…nyk2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The tweet you&#39;ve mentioned touches on several significant developments within the Bitcoin ecosystem:<br/><br/>1. **Empty Mempool**: The mempool is where Bitcoin transactions wait to be confirmed by miners. An &#34;empty mempool&#34; suggests that there are fewer transactions pending than usual, which could be due to various factors like reduced network activity or miners processing transactions more quickly than they are being submitted. This could be seen as a sign of either efficient network operation or declining transaction volume.<br/><br/>2. **F2Pool Censoring Transactions**: F2Pool, one of the largest Bitcoin mining pools, has reportedly been accused of censoring transactions, particularly those linked to addresses sanctioned by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). This practice goes against Bitcoin&#39;s ethos of being censorship-resistant, where every transaction should theoretically be processed if it pays the necessary fees. Such censorship raises concerns about centralization and control over the network, potentially eroding trust in Bitcoin&#39;s decentralized nature.[](<a href="https://thedefiant.io/news/blockchains/non-us-bitcoin-miner-gets-caught-censoring-transactions">https://thedefiant.io/news/blockchains/non-us-bitcoin-miner-gets-caught-censoring-transactions</a>)[](<a href="https://za.investing.com/news/f2pool-accused-of-censoring-ofacsanctioned-bitcoin-transactions-93CH-2940025">https://za.investing.com/news/f2pool-accused-of-censoring-ofacsanctioned-bitcoin-transactions-93CH-2940025</a>)[](<a href="https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2023/11/22/bitcoins-anti-censorship-ethos-surfaces-after-mining-pool-f2pool-acknowledges-filter">https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2023/11/22/bitcoins-anti-censorship-ethos-surfaces-after-mining-pool-f2pool-acknowledges-filter</a>)<br/><br/>3. **Foundry Getting Bigger**: Foundry USA is another major mining pool that has been growing in influence and hash power. An increase in Foundry&#39;s dominance could potentially lead to more centralization within Bitcoin mining, which contradicts the decentralized ethos of cryptocurrency. A more centralized mining landscape can lead to concerns about control over transaction validation and block creation.[](<a href="https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2023/11/22/bitcoins-anti-censorship-ethos-surfaces-after-mining-pool-f2pool-acknowledges-filter">https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2023/11/22/bitcoins-anti-censorship-ethos-surfaces-after-mining-pool-f2pool-acknowledges-filter</a>)[](<a href="https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2023/11/22/bitcoins-anti-censorship-ethos-surfaces-after-mining-pool-f2pool-acknowledges-filter/amp/">https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2023/11/22/bitcoins-anti-censorship-ethos-surfaces-after-mining-pool-f2pool-acknowledges-filter/amp/</a>)<br/><br/>4. **Mara Cozying Up with the President**: This likely refers to Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA), a publicly-traded Bitcoin mining company. The phrase &#34;cozying up with the president&#34; implies some form of close relationship or influence between MARA and political figures, which could be perceived as an attempt to gain favorable regulations or support. This relationship might worry some in the crypto community who value the separation between state influence and cryptocurrency operations. MARA&#39;s launch of &#34;Slipstream&#34; for handling complex transactions might be seen in this context as an effort to navigate or influence regulatory landscapes.[](<a href="https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2024/02/22/bitcoin-miner-marathon-to-start-slipstream-to-make-complex-btc-transactions-faster/amp/">https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2024/02/22/bitcoin-miner-marathon-to-start-slipstream-to-make-complex-btc-transactions-faster/amp/</a>)<br/><br/>The tweet expresses a sense of unease about these developments, suggesting that they might steer Bitcoin away from its foundational principles of decentralization, privacy, and resistance to censorship. The poster feels that these trends could lead Bitcoin down a &#34;wrong track,&#34; potentially compromising its fundamental values for the sake of regulatory compliance or centralized control. 2025-01-31T18:50:54Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0u2p4w4c9nte6m9ly0at9enugxfrkd5ux7njgx0a8k9q8r5nvezczypqpjjgp4etzrsaldwqxk4a4apmut20u3ezszy9fxtdlwtruxhjy5mjmqrm Laser eyes target is not challenging enough any more.<br/>New standard for laser eyes should be 1$M 2024-10-29T07:56:11Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsy7ux5y3d4hscx80lxy63wxyw4aph6j4l620n2et0ramjpr5q67fszypqpjjgp4etzrsaldwqxk4a4apmut20u3ezszy9fxtdlwtruxhjy5zh4uag In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9gefm9wcn08apc3w6xkmxut7xlgtgrtgjhth97c6nw9rp5fqrs5gpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhg6rxyj7'>nevent1q…xyj7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Would have called you crazy when this was said 8yrs ago 2024-10-07T17:36:49Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrq3pjjcrg2f5uuny89wmvamt0qjv7f0rhd2y5ult9xhrrwpr66mqzypqpjjgp4etzrsaldwqxk4a4apmut20u3ezszy9fxtdlwtruxhjy56jt78c In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgf2sa05pd2rk8e4czcxqml55rlv5mxgn9pjkg90ydax3feeqya2gtzu8u6'>nevent1q…u8u6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It’s a stable and predictable strategy; good to have some certainty in place 2024-09-26T09:16:25Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsykf0akh2rf9mkym3k3mcnqjr8fd8x5wm9mk9h56fjw34az8cchmqzypqpjjgp4etzrsaldwqxk4a4apmut20u3ezszy9fxtdlwtruxhjy5quz02q In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxemrzxx0m6rdl6tus5zv368lg2ra03ewj0mlut8wprta3p2hg9rslhsjhz'>nevent1q…sjhz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Hear hear 2024-09-19T10:58:02Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsv9d82hfyf4x8ndsklpqjc03ea8g7v2f9ush50lq3fr52z4gxz7gszypqpjjgp4etzrsaldwqxk4a4apmut20u3ezszy9fxtdlwtruxhjy53vhutq At last: the bull run has finally begun <br/>#btc 2024-09-19T10:55:50Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs09kh09j9kgsyze4c90xj6kwyt478m632u7x6e0ewl7lmvkpe0kdszypqpjjgp4etzrsaldwqxk4a4apmut20u3ezszy9fxtdlwtruxhjy5mkq99w In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstmcn5hn6gk5zjjv0pwmudtexwu2ntuyvthm6g52922xv43myw5ns2f89ce'>nevent1q…89ce</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Hear hear 2024-09-18T20:59:06Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrmhfcm7aszadgv98w63j2kv4k2eerssd2l26ue4r7wm2e75qppqgzypqpjjgp4etzrsaldwqxk4a4apmut20u3ezszy9fxtdlwtruxhjy5xsdkxa In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszh6tfu06rzquu2dz3ydm92unq5wmr7ad4a3vu6gp5nsdun8he4agav4knk'>nevent1q…4knk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Just add some zeros to every dollar bill solve this problem, easy way out… 2024-09-17T15:41:02Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2hmyn42qkj8zmwdjzprxsv38sdaw5j3upmt03ag3wrm0az9x4j7czypqpjjgp4etzrsaldwqxk4a4apmut20u3ezszy9fxtdlwtruxhjy55v4rrk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxs2ehwfwdqw47cf4w6fx6mv6jvtayggc6vk6l92s8jsaxtnzzzjgae27l3'>nevent1q…27l3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Congrats, huge 2024-09-14T13:27:00Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0slu4l2uxyw98h2xesw6rjcrs0xadtlgn0d469u4pndv69ta73lszypqpjjgp4etzrsaldwqxk4a4apmut20u3ezszy9fxtdlwtruxhjy5cvmk0j In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst2dpp3vedhwgnad2gatht8mjrsumaj8vyw23vz9ckh0afr38qd0cgkeqne'>nevent1q…eqne</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Most of the spending is related to buying btc right? … 2024-09-14T05:21:45Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxy32g9kjzruw840r0w5jjqnwggplv24d0sqe82efc35rmhfxe5jszypqpjjgp4etzrsaldwqxk4a4apmut20u3ezszy9fxtdlwtruxhjy5yqt79f In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg0hgp4qczt3cknem8s5znxturzse9y0vca36dyaa959v9kd2p8xcpramhxue69uhkummnw3ezuetfde6kuer6wasku7nfvuh8xurpvdjswfd0dg'>nevent1q…d0dg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I endorse this vibe #bitcoin 2024-09-13T04:01:38Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2wqsha5e2yf8r4de5tp7kxrva2mp7gr9wpqfw67xhgfwefnnlwugzypqpjjgp4etzrsaldwqxk4a4apmut20u3ezszy9fxtdlwtruxhjy5784can In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqst4yezkv9hlsa8nsvzsr7eg9e3yefr58gfzewea0gfjwt3rk7gw3clz9jgh'>nevent1q…9jgh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Nowadays we have opinions.
