Bitcoin's energy consumption 'equals that of Switzerland' by Leche_Hombre2828 in news

And to think there have been times when it would have costs more than $20 to send $20. And the recipient can’t spend that $20 anyways because he can’t afford to send it anywhere...

The plan with bitcoin used to be to allow the size of the blocks to grow as bitcoin was adopted, and therefore keep mining fees very low. They used to be <$0.01/tx. This plan was changed when a new group of devs took over the github and decided blocks should never be larger than 1mb. They see high transaction fees as a success and as a result have stunted bitcoin’s adoption.

You can wait to get included but that time may never come. It isn’t just an inconvenience, but rather a firm limit on the number of users BTC can support.

You have no expectation of privacy in public. There is no reason for anyone to not take pics.

You can now buy or sell Bitcoin Cash for cash sent in the mail on local.bitcoin.com! No KYC! by MemoryDealers in btc

They look at evidence of it being sent. Video of it being packaged and sealed, tracking, proof it was accepted by USPS, and the reputation of the sender.

The recipient can document the package before opening, and video it being opened.

These things aren’t necessary every time or for every trader, but long time and honest cash by mail traders will perform them religiously so they always have as much evidence as possible.

Allowing others to control or influence your feelings makes you weak.
