Lightning Apps on Main Net

With new apps coming out and proving themselves lightning is making Visa level transaction volumes real for bitcoin. They are fighting back, but talking about bubbles seems very last month. The big question is will this, combined with other developments like rootstock (rsk), mimblewimble and schnor signatures combine to put pressure on competing cryto currencies?

The Circular Bitcoin Economy

The bitcoin economy is becoming more circular. I would argue that it is sustainable and eco. With super cheap transaction cost all it takes is more users to escape. Check out this town in Italy, Rovereto.

Anti-Lambo

You escaped wage slavery, told your friends about your plan, they laughed at you and were too scared. Now you buy a lambo. Why? You want to rub your riches in their face and prove that they should listen to you.

Come on we know it's tempting (I wanted one since I was a kid), but don't be a jerk. This is the peoples movement and the lambo that you crash might just put you right back into the rat race, and your friends will hate you for it.

Soo Forking Easy

You can now fork bitcoin by filling out an online form. Its easy and hilarious, you can select logo rotation, it's called forkgen.

CrytoKitties

If you havn't played this game you're not really into crypto. It's soo fun. Crypto kitties rule 20% of Etherium.

Bitcoin and Etherium Fee Flippining

Tansaction fees are down and the Bitcoin mempool is clearing. What happens if there is a transaction fee flippining, where bitcoin fees go below those of etherium?

The charts have been heading this way in the last month. Currently bitcoin on chain fees are $5.60 and etheriums are $1. Etherium does not have lightning or segwit and its Casper, Sharding and Plasma are seeing long delays. The pressure is on for Etherium in 2018.
