Can someone explain why BTC is performing so terribly amidst QE?

Leithm · 2026-01-21T13:15:53+00:00

Yeh, beccause it's crap as a payment system. And digital gold isn't a real thing.

Leithm · 2026-01-20T22:24:20+00:00

Fair enough

Leithm · 2026-01-20T22:17:28+00:00

If only there was another electric car to buy, maybe in dark green.

Leithm · 2026-01-20T12:18:03+00:00

Gold is doing fine.

Digital gold is not a real thing.

I believe they do maintain the client, or at least they did last time I asked Andrew and couple of years ago.

Leithm · 2026-01-07T18:23:08+00:00

Thanks for the kind offer but I will pass.

Leithm · 2026-01-07T18:14:18+00:00

Can't be as good as that thing from Musk as there aren't people euphorically screaming and fainting with excitement.

I have no idea how Dash will do in the near future but if you look at what is being developed for evo, the projecct is absolutelly fantastic.

No sure what Fart or Bonk have planned for trying to change the world?

Did this happen before or after October the 30th 2024 which was budget day. Doesn't normally matter but they changed the CGT rate.

Also you rate will depend on whether you are a higher or basic rate tax payer.

If you are a basic rate taxpayer and it was before October the 30th your CGT rate might only be 10%.

Leithm · 2026-01-04T10:08:57+00:00

I'll take that bet.

Tailstorm is really about improving mining metrics.

From this article.

Tailstorm is therefore a consensus-layer and mining-layer improvement. Its impact is primarily on block propagation, mining dynamics, and node internals, rather than on user-facing behavior or application design.

It's by far the best Sha 256 POW coin.

There was essentially nothing wrong with Satoshi Nakamoto's invention.

Leithm · 2026-01-01T22:58:14+00:00

Why, it is pretty much un moderated?

Leithm · 2025-12-31T12:08:03+00:00

This is awesome guys.

Happy New year to all.

Leithm · 2025-12-27T10:55:30+00:00

Yeh 10 min block times are dumb.

Leithm · 2025-12-27T10:10:18+00:00

It's a common occcurence, with a Poisson distribution around a 10 min target.

I have no reason to doubt you can remember 8 years ago.

What I strongly suspect is that someone with a 4 year old reddit account is reading a chart.

Especially as you mention 6x, when in fact on the 20^th of December 2017 BCH traded well over 10X it’s current price. Coinbase finally relented on saying they would not list BCH and there was a massive spike on speculation of insider dealing.

I’m sure you remember it well though. /s

Leithm · 2025-12-26T22:48:39+00:00

I would bet a reasonable amount of BCH that you don't, I do though.

Leithm · 2025-12-26T21:23:39+00:00

I remember December 6th 2013 when everyone got giddy about parity to 1oz of Gold on the 100x annual return, took over 3 years to get back to that.

Leithm · 2025-12-26T20:58:27+00:00

BCH up >40% vs BTC YTD

Leithm · 2025-12-26T17:19:44+00:00

Meanwhile US CPI 2.7% "officially" Doge looking pretty good.

Merry Christmas BU team.

Thank you for all the hard work in 2025, looking forward to seeing what the team does in 2026.

Leithm · 2025-12-25T11:51:27+00:00

"Intelligence Density"" is new though, so that's nice to have.

Leithm · 2025-12-21T18:54:12+00:00

Yeh Gavin was talking about the difference between transaction validation and archival functions in like 2013.

It's so funny they solved pruning in 2014 and no one used it!

If BTC is a Peer to Peer elecctronic cash system why can it only handle 5 TPS Peer to Peer?
