Fighting for sub-1 sat/vb transactions before it was cool. 😎
The imposed 1 sat/vbyte minimum mempool fee rate in #Bitcoin is arbitrary and unnecessary. The minimum relay fee already adjusts based on demand, and miners benefit from fully utilizing block space. Removing this limit would enhance transaction accessibility.
As transaction fees approach zero the demand for block space approaches infinity. The only effective block space filter is demand.
@luxor now accepts sub-1 sat/vB txs. Great to see miners making room for the low-fee crowd again. Let’s see who’s next.
Why isn’t the minimum fee rate determined by how full your mempool is?

How specific! 👀 So I'll be specific too: There are exactly 57 UTXOs holding 2.5k BTC or more, created at or before block 419,326 (roughly 9 years ago).
So, how many 2500+ coins dormant addresses are there left? Dormant meaning maybe 9 years or older?
Tell me you're just picking a number with no math to support it, without telling me you're just picking a number with no math to support it.
The Entire History of the Bitcoin Blockchain
Since #bitcoin ~$75K ATH in November 2024, ~₿170M worth of volume has moved on-chain. But that was from just ~₿6M being recycled roughly 25x each. Meanwhile, ~₿12M stayed completely untouched, unable to move or didn’t care to, even at +$100K levels. 👀
An animated visualization of all 3,327,977,594 Bitcoin UTXOs that have ever existed moving across 900,000 blocks. I don't see any practical use for it, so I guess I made a #Bitcoin lava lamp or something! 😅 Enjoy!
Free money? 🤔

Wow! That's a huge paradigm shift! Based on... not one... not two... but three data points! It’s as impressive as watching a coin flip tails three times, then land on heads.🤯
In every prior cycle, Bitcoin’s third green year brought a face-melting parabolic run. So far in 2025? Not yet. We’ve had big moves, but also shallower corrections and longer periods of sideways chop. The cycle might not be broken. It could just be a slower, more measured one.
If arbitrary data is spam, change the consensus and remove/reduce OP_RETURN. If it’s not, relay it. This whole “keep illegals (spam) out (filters), but if one bypasses it (slipstream), give him an irrevocable green card (add him to the blockchain)” is absolute nonsense!
Thanks to the nice round $1,000T, I can finally do the math in my head. Kinda feels like being a savant.
Global asset landscape - 2025 update! In 2023, there was $900T of global wealth. Today, that number has grown to $1000T. THREAD on the key insights of this analysis...
