People uploading porn into the blockchain again?

On a happier note it looks like France is building 14 new nukes. I am glad, happiness is a warm nuke.....

bonus with fission plants: you are your own nightlight.. no more hitting your big toe on the end tables and such when going to the loo in the middle of the night

cant wait for fusion plants to come on line. go tokamak!

If only.
I find the behaviour of mempool rather fascinating. It runs along nice and quiet then all of a sudden we find that it is backed up by 100M or more.
Usually when that happens it is either during a feeding frenzy (Like the 2018 blowoff top) or, more often than not, a bunch of weak hands scrambling for the exit.
Not sure what is going on this time though as price is hanging around in the 43-44 range without moving too far in either direction??

The fact that DOGE is transacting as much as ETH.

I don't know how to even process that info.

I don't want a bat slap... but I have a thought about DOGE and appropriately why Bitcoin will crush it into dust.

 Elon always talks about how Doge has something that makes it good to transact with that Bitcoin does not have.  Has he ever identified it?  I personally think the SEC might should be interested.  Even though that upsets my own libertarian tendencies.  Aside from high fees and a massive inflation... well it can only be one of those.

And why would anyone choose to do business on the chain that is guaranteed to lose value at a fast rate?  I know the classical answer is the velocity of money argument, but why would anyone expose themselves to that risk if they do not have to?  Bitcoin will never do that as long as it has not been captured and destroyed.

So it seems to me, if he is as smart as he likes to act?  The only motivation he could have is manipulation.  Right?  He's a weird hero/villain type isn't he?

it does not have a massive inflation

every year it exists its inflation rate is smaller than the prior year.

I rate it the second best coin to mine.

BTC = # 1
Doge = # 2  (pun intended)



doge year 1 = x coins
doge year 2 = 2x coins 100% inflation
doge year 3 = 3x coins   50% inflation
doge year 4 = 4x coins   33% inflation
doge year 5 = 5x coins   25% inflation
doge year 6 = 6x coins   20% inflation
doge year 7 = 7x coins   16.6% inflation
...
doge year 50 = 50 x coins
doge year 51 = 51 x coins 2% inflation

...
doge year 100 = 100x coins
doge year 101 = 101x coins 1% inflation


I would argue it is far better than the $ when it comes to inflation .

There is a couple of things wrong with this chart. First, scale... the BTC "penis" should be ~30x longer than ETH. It obviously isn't. Also BTC volume seems to be overstated by one or two orders of magnitude. Perhaps they included change amounts, not sure. More realistic numbers I've seen are around $5 billion per day or ~$60k per second.
