 I'm not saying it's a rich man's game.  
 Well, when we are in the 300 to 500 range for fees, thats exactly a rich mans game 
 Expect $10000s. Bitcoin can and will be accessed by the world and trans per sec are low Onchain. 
I look forward to my grandchildren thinking it amazing I once did an onchain transaction.  
 And you wonder why I think you are coming off as elitist? Yea to hell with us low income people right now. Jesus fucking christ 
 I think there has been a misunderstanding. I'm saying when bitcoin is working properly, it will be very rare any 1 human makes an onchain transaction for just sending value.  
 Yea I dont know what this means at all. Onchain tx fees where they are now is the exact problem that you seem to be saying is a good thing. And they are not. I tried to jump in a 100k sat whirlpool recently. Fees were OVER 100%. And that was with tx fees in the 200 range. And fees are twice that now. I really fail to see how any of this is a good thing. 
 Maybe stop blaming Christ, BTC, the world. 

Pick yourself up and make yourself useful in some way. Might fill up the cavity left by the soul that obviously tapped out on you. 

Your profile says you identify as a threat, good. You still have some judgment at least. . .  But i wonder if it is sound enough to realize you're a threat only to yourself from what I can gather in this limited discourse. 
 Why not use Lightning? 
 It costs onchain fees to open and I just had a poorly timed force close.  
 It's the wild west. 

Stop whining. Take some respect for yourself in sovereignship back and deal with the fact that we are at war. 

Your BTC is your ammo and you shouldn't be moving it around left and right anyhow. You Hold the damn thing. 

If you can't, and you start blaming BTC for doing exactly what BTC is supposed to do given the criteria - how the hell can anyone respect you?  
 Wow, you are telling someone who lost literally everything in the past couple years and has a negative net worth for refusing an employer injction mandae to stop whining about not being able to afford miner fees. Must be nice not know struggle. Go. Fuck. Yourself.  
 I crawled through whatever the fuck you did. 

I didn't get injected. I've had 3 jobs since leaving my career. 

Don't talk to me about sob stories. I live it every day. 

Then come on here and get pissed at BTC for protecting itself AND us as designed against these type of attacks. Then get called on it, then trying to weasel your way out like a dependent whose capitulating and saying i should feel sorry for you. 

Grow a pair. This fight isn't for everyone.  
 I was having a conversation. You came in and start talking shit like you fucking know me. If you knew struggle you wouldnt be acting like a fucking elitist cunt right now. 
 Everyone is an elitist cunt, right? Anyone who has no issue with whatever you have an issue with is an elitist cunt, right? 

Whatever dude. 

No cope. Learn to swim
 
 You acting like one. 
 I woud love nothing more to be having this convo with you irl. Fucking shit talking coward 
 Your power projection, or need to project the threat of that kinetic power, shows 100% irrefutably that Bitcoin is not for you. 

And mercifully, I wish you luck.  
 It sounds like the problem is in you. 

Don't project that onto BTC for doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing given the circumstances. 

 
 I was having a fucking conversation. Nobody blaming anything. Heaven fucking forbid I have an option you dont like.  
 When was the last time you spoke this bold to a stranger in person? My guess is exactly never fucking coward. 
 I'm saying we need to scale so more people can access, and that doesn't happen in low fee enviroment. 
 And who is going to decide to jump aboard with fees like this? Not low income people. Like I said, it is right now a rich mans game and if you cant see that, then you are a rich man which is fine. But dont act like these fees arent a barrier for us poor folk. I am a poor folk and I am telling you this fee bs has rendered btc 100% useless for me. Cant move shit anywhere. Cant afford to open a lightning channel. So how exacty is this a good environment for us poors?
