I do love Loatheb . Saddest loss from Standard IMO . <| sep |> Well I make mostly balance mods . So it ' s mostly my thinking about having to rethink things , lol . I ' m a lazy man . <| sep |> Nice catch lol . Checked out their comments and it definitely looks that way <| sep |> The power of marketing because I suddenly really wanted to try it . <| sep |> They are really cool , totally gonna keep an eye on them ! <| sep |> The customization of AH <| sep |> Bitcoin ' s main uses are for capital controls , store of value , offshoring , and dark markets . The first three are highly feeinsensitive , but dark markets are only somewhat feeinsensitive . Once fees get into the $ 1 range you ' re going to have drug buyers and vendors feeling the heat and wanting to switch . I mean , it ' s pretty simple if there are quite a few dealers willing to accept an alt , and it only costs a onetime few dollars to exchange your BTC to the alt via Shapeshift , then you save dollars off every subsequent purchase , this altcoin thing is going to catch on really quickly . Then Bitcoin ' s network effect is lost , followed by investors , then all the other pivotal mustuseBitcoin use cases I mentioned . TLDR The cost of darkmarket users periodically shapeshifting their BTC into alts for spending money is the limiting factor on how high Bitcoin fees can go without breaking the commercial network effect until 2 ndlayer scaling arrives .
