How many people have at least 0.1 BTC out of the total number of Bitcoin holders?
With the assumption that Republicans are highly unlikely to change the bill to leave room for future prosecution of POTUS via State AGs (a core Democrat demand); the only way forward for this current version seems to be Republicans to hold both chambers.
What alternative version might be introduced in the 2027-2028 Congress that can get passed and signed by Trump in the next two years? Will Democrats continue to assert prosecution rights forever or is there a compromise Democrats are willing to accept that could still protect Trump from potential prosecution?
Every Bitcoin block has 4 MWU. Financial transactions (payments, Lightning, DEX) and data inscriptions (Ordinals, BRC-20, Runes) compete for the same space. The market treats them identically — highest fee-rate wins — despite fundamentally different time-value curves.
A settlement is worth nothing if it misses this block. An inscription is worth the same next block or next hour. But there's no way to signal that difference to miners.
The approach: Wallets add a 4-byte OP_RETURN to each transaction declaring its type (financial or data). Pools optionally read this and allocate block space with a minimum 30% financial floor. No classifier, no false positives, no oracle trust issue.
- Works with Stratum v1 today (no protocol change)
- Pools capture a data fee premium (~25%) as a new revenue stream
- First-mover pool captures financial tx flow without losing data tx revenue

Would love feedback from people who understand mining economics better than I do. What am I missing?

So I have tried a few platforms like Crypto.com, Kraken, and Wealthsimple but the reality is that I prefer the idea of having stocks. This being the case, can anyone suggest what stock best duplicates the movement of Bitcoin as a percentage? I've looked at MSTR, IBIT, and BTCX.B, but it is hard to see which one seems to move closest to the price of the crypto itself. Does anyone have any suggestions here? Any other stock that seems to move with Bitcoin the closest?
I was on the fence but now I'm starting to think it might be the only way.
What are you guy's thoughts?
I do not like the idea of government and Bitcoin getting cozy with each other. But I wonder if politically there was a push to have more Bitcoin mining done in that specific country so that the country was more on a Bitcoin standard as a whole.
I'm just spit balling here.
