The Bitcoin 5th column is real, and growing. Like deep cover Soviet moles but loyal to the ideals of a global individualist movement, not a socialist one.

We collect a regular paycheck, but watch the growing value of Bitcoin with more than idle interest. We might fit in as loyal corporate workers, but are secretly working to overthrow the economic system that allows the bourgeois management class to rule. Our manifestos come from Tim May and Eric Hughes. Builders of the world, unite!

The latest mempool.space with support is the nicest way to explore your transactions when testing (a few clicks to setup with ).
Some -s of my test node as a Maker:
mempool.space/signet/tx/0d1a05
mempool.space/signet/tx/0429f5
yielding 355 sats. twitter.com/mempoolspace/statu

@afilini @rcasatta re-running the full sync test with a `release` build and a different peer node gave much better results! 🚀

.@Bisq v1.5.5 shipped with support for charting USD-denominated trade volumes.

Previously volume charts were denominated only in BTC.

Toggling to USD gives a better sense how much more value is being transacted over time.

Classic game theory: cooperate or defect?

The Internet is helping WSB plebes cooperate against the oligarchy, but Bitcoin is the ultimate game changer that will allow the world to get the benefits of cooperation. The oligarchy can not win by defecting if we all can trust the ledger.

@jon @orionwl @max_1337 We really need people to be facing criminal fraud charges for this nonsense. The difference between 99% survival and 99.9% is very significant for society. Lying about things like that to pad your own pockets is evil.

If we don't, it will happen again. And it has happened before: H1N1 turned out to be overhyped.
