can you explain to me the reason why miners would form a cartel to destroy bitcoins value?
Can you not imagine a scenario in which maximizing [long term] BTC value is not in the best interest of the miners?
*need a hint?

[yet another eightfour-paragraph opinion from yet another opinionated poster on this thread]
Passive-aggressive, to boot
@adam, why the preoccupation with the FED? Aren't you Canadian?

And if it takes 20 bucks for a tx, so be it. How much does Western Union or banks take for international wires with no privacy at all and questionable safety?
Do you rely on Western Union for every transaction (your morning coffee, etc., etc.)?

If it takes to pay a coffee with cash in order to keep BTC serious, I'm all for it.
"in order to keep BTC serious" as what, exactly? Surely not money?

?
I'm not being passive-aggressive, nor (I think) am I being particularly opinionated by suggesting that I would prefer to see Dr. Stolfi's ideas taken to the next level, rather than just encouraging him to continue to post random opinions.
He is the only poster on here that I know of that has identified himself specifically as an academic with an interest in Bitcoin, so that puts him in a unique position to educate us all with his erudite analysis of this subject.
Now that there is an official outlet for Dr. Stolfi's hard-won Bitcoin expertise, I would like to see him take advantage of it. Wouldn't you?
Sure you're passive-aggressive. Something about his doctorate just rubs you the wrong way (unpleasant grad school experience?), and so you vent. Every chance you get.
As far as I know, Jorge hasn't identify himself as an academic, but rather was outed as one. If the phrase "academic interest" misled you, it has nothing to do with degrees, tenure, or academic institutions.
Think "curiosity."

Not consumerist money.
Would you pay with silver coins your frap-thing?
"Consumerist money"? What's that?
I guess all the hype about bitcoin being "the fastest, cheapest way to transact," "currency of the internet," is just that? BTC is not money but a store of value (a role which it hasn't been super good in for the last couple of years)?

Apparently you're academic background is in psychology
Thanks for the pop psychoanalysis. I value your opinion. Really.

Must you get all peevish, instead of sincerely thanking me for putting you on the road to mental health & clearing up your confusionses?

Consumerist money is fiat which banks or gov'ts pull out of their arses liberally, therefore it's inflated and therefore it's the bad money which everyone try to get rid of as per the Gresham's law, which is why consumerism exists at all.
Serious money aka sound money is not like that shit.
So money is "sound" when it's super expensive to use? With sound money a 2-dollar cup of coffee costs $22 to buy?
Must use shitty fiat for real world stuffs?

I would really like to see how Jorge's ideas stand up to academic scrutiny, wouldn't you, (ex)NLC?
Not sure what your issue is here.
No. That's why I'm reading this internet forum and not an academic journal.
As for yourself, feel free to commission him, sponsor him through Patreon, crowd-fund his research. See if you could better his current engagement & interest him in bitcoin research. Free market at work.
Better still, lead by example! I encourage
you to publish. Surely there's a skoolarly artikel in you somewhere, no? Perchance even a little book?
In the meantime, kindly allow him to opine on this internet forum with the rest of us.

The time to increase the block size will be when 0 fee tx takes longer than 5 days.
The kind of forward-thinking, proactive problem-solving that made Bitcoin wat it is today
@Richy_T: Don't care, CC isn't charging me a fee, and I don't get a discount when I pay with BTC. Weird looks? Yes. Discount? No.
*At this point, transactions are not subsidized by the tx fee but rather by bitcoin base money inflation, AKA "printing money." Since you're interested in the real costs of transacting with CC, thought you should know.

Back to normal rise? last hours looks like panic from both bulls and bears.
Ever heard of bear stampede? No. Stampedes are what dumb cattle do. Bears are intelligent, noble creatures. Never panic

And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
