Right fuck it , I'm way into town for a few scoops.

Volume can be buying or selling of the ETF.

Ice cream so good gang gang

Whahaha trade it for yours?

Wish I had enough to make me a target 🥲

There's a lot of flexibility in what you *can* do, but:

Wallet design, certainly every wallet you're using nowadays, strongly discourages users from re-using addresses. That means, in practice, that when you click a 'receive' button to get an address to send to, you always get a *new* address, i.e. one that hasn't been used before.

That means that in your scenario: I send 0.5 btc, twice, to my hardware wallet (and same for desktop or mobile wallets), you will almost always be sending to two different addresses. An obvious exception would be if you simply copied (or wrote down) one address, somewhere. People literally using paper wallets are tending to stick with one (this is just one, minor, reason that paper wallets are a bit frowned on).

Why does the "don't reuse addresses" concept exist? It's mainly for privacy; reusing an address makes it 100% clear that those two amounts of money are owned by the same user. There are also more subtle reasons to not reuse addresses, but that's a sidetrack.

re "one containing a bulk of the stash".

I feel like it just depends. In my own case, that's never been true, over a decade and multiple different wallets (even just talking about the cold storage wallets). First I don't tend to move a nontrivial amount in one step, I break it up. Second, usage over time (and if you use bitcoin at all, you're going to use your cold storage wallet sometimes), breaks it up further.

So I don't have any data on it, I can imagine it's true for *some* people, I'd bet it's not the majority, but 🤷‍♂️ who knows I guess.

Even if it were the majority, say 60%, that had *most* (not all) of their BTC in one address, we'd still be nowhere near "number of addresses with >1BTC = number of users with >1BTC".

It tends to very wrong "in both directions".

On the one hand, most btc holders that actually use bitcoin at all, will tend to have a lot of addresses.

On the other hand, many big operations (companies, exchanges, investment orgs) tend to aggregate large amounts into single addresses, representing funds that are actually "owned" (legally) by many customers or partners or investors.

I think the former factor is probably more significant here.

So say there are 1.5M addresses with 1BTC. That could easily be say 50000 individuals and a few 100s of orgs each of which owns between 10 and 200 BTC, each of them having 20-30 utxos. For example.

I don't think this is a "it all averages out" kind if situation. It just depends - on stuff we don't know.

I’m seeing a lot of misinformation being spread about the tragedy in Hawaii this week.

People are suggesting direct energy weapons, or other such conspiracies as the cause of the blaze. Unfortunately this is most likely just opportunistic social media personalities trying to increase their audience and influence.

The facts are probably much more simple, high winds and power lines. Dry grasses, high winds and embers being blown. A dense community with lots of wood framed houses and roofs.

An under resourced community overwhelmed by the forces of nature, in a state where counties are divided by surrounding waters making coordination and cooperation difficult and time consuming.

I don't want to unfollow hashtags because I find a lot of cool accounts to follow.

But it is also spammy as hell.

Conflicted. I am.

I was marked 0 on tests because they wanted blue or black pen no red. And I accidentally used a purple. Because I don't see purple. And they would not accept colorblindness and the pen having no label of color on it. Despite if my work was correct.

Proof of Work wasn't good enough. The color of the pen was more pertinent.

That teacher was a cunt.

One thing I would not mind at all would be if Nostr clients only "caught" notes when they're online. Meaning, no storage at all. Pure real time relaying.

Interestingly the gaelic word for sword is pronounced "cleave" .

How do you know we have 1 million whole coiners? If it's by number of addresses, that doesn't correlate 1 to 1 (in fact one can't know even the correlation). If it's by some kind of study, I'd love to see their methodology.

So many of you glorious asshats have made the last several months both an enormous distraction and absolutely joy to be a part of.

I've never been more bullshit.

Amethyst is the most crash happy, non content loading, sketchy ass performing app on my phone.

And it's ma favorite app.
