I’m all up in Mempool.space.

More exciting than any New Year for me.

I’ve never payed attention to what happens on the moment-to-moment in Bitcoin…but its FASCINATING!

Once I got oriented w/ what mempool is showing me:

Real-time bids competing for the next block, miners brokering to accept those bids, no one knows when the Nonce will get hit & the block becomes History, the Nonce hits happen maybe in 50mins maybe in 5mins, orders flowing thru may be millions, maybe chump-change but they all flow thru if you want to pay the always moving fees…This is NYSE open pit happening 24/7, tick tock next block, and no one can control it.

Block 777777 hasn’t hit yet, but it has opened my eyes to how truly hyper-advanced this simple little monetary innovation that is Bitcoin really is.

I’m beginning to see, on a visceral level, that Central Banks are fucked so many ways to Sunday. Even their pipe-dream CBDCs can’t hold a retarded candle to whats happening every moment in the Bitcoin free-market.

I am having a similar moment having just enabled zaps on Damus. Uncensorable micropayments passing back and forth instantly between uncensorable peers… the legacy financial system can never do this because the dollar can never do this because analog money cannot do this
