Maybe the operators have been arrested or something and are unable to get in contact with Royse? Maybe arrested for something other than mixer being seized, maybe it's nothing at all. You'll all just have to wait for an announcement from them or the manager.

This could be true even as weird as it might sound. This happens when only one person is the contact personnel between the campaign manager and the project owners. If the person is sick, arrested or even dead, we might not know. Assuming the site is accessible, we wouldn't have noticed the absence of communication untill the escrow fund runs empty. Meanwhile, I'll wait for r7's announcement.

The remaining four matches for Manchester City can be unpredictable but if we are to judge the remaining matches of Manchester City based on performance, most of us would say Manchester City would win them all because they are no match.

The Tottenham vs Manchester City match will be Manchester City, second to their last game, you don't expect them to lose to it after they have won against Wolves and Fulham, remaining with West Ham to play as their last match. It's another PL trophy for Manchester City again

Considering how good Manchester City have been since the start of the season, I think there's no doubt to the fact that Pep Guardiola's men are very capable of winning their remaining four league games of which if they succeed to do, will be crowned the English Premier League champions for the fourth consecutive season. The only strong game I think will be difficult for Manchester City among the remaining league fixtures is the game against Tottenham Hotspur but we all saw how they were beaten by Chelsea on Thursday night and if Manchester City can play at their best, defeating Tottenham shouldn't be a big issue for them as team. Winning the league isn't as easy as it is on paper but I think Manchester City stands a better chance ahead of the closest rivals Arsenal

The network is like a slippery fish someone tries to hold onto — the harder you hold it and the more you try to control it, the quicker it slips from your grasp. If Canada bans it, it will drift to Mexico. If Mexico bans it, nodes will drift to Mauritius. If Mauritius bans it, nodes will drift to Russia. There’s always going to be somewhere on the globe – at least for the short to mid-term right now – that is going to embrace Bitcoin."

Always my confidence. There'll always be shift. If one country bans, another will embrace. I am so much confident of this. I am somewhat curious that if miners found ways to always use green energy to mine bitcoin, will this still be a problem to the government?
Ethiopia...I have read much about this country in history, if I have an opportunity for vacation, it's this country I'll visit.

I have been thinking what it would be like to have privacy in a few years from now, would it be completely impossible?

I believe that it will be as always, the more you press something, the more resistant it becomes.
Increasing pressure on privacy will probably provoke more sophisticated methods to protect it.

I believe you examplens. There's an African bird which said "if men have learnt how to shoot without missing, he also has learnt how to fly without perching.
As you have said, the more the fight against privacy intensifies, privacy men will develop ways to remain relevant. It is necessity that breeds innovation. I am not deterred. In as much as there's internet, there'll always be a way...

I have been a believer of co- existence. Before now, many people do not believe that bitcoin needs altcoin. Just today due to mempool congestion, people are running to altcoins for cheap and fast transaction. I know that at a time we must need one component of this great industry, that's why I advocate for co-existence. Be it;
Bitcoin;
Altcoins;
CEXs;
DEXs;
Privacy coins;
etc.

But nobody seems to be talking about the slight change that occurred this year as the price trend actually changed format  and Bitcoin for the first reach a new ATH even before the halving started.

People have been talking about it. You know it is a good thing, so nobody will grumble over it for a very long time.

So am just curious to know what are the odds of everything changing this time around when the halving comes and goes .

The odds are very high that things will actually change. But then, will the change be negative or positive? Some people are of the opinion that bull run is invalidated by the premature ATH. But I'm of the opinion that the ATH we saw was because of ETF approval, the real bull run will just be massive.

Well then, we've had the same story for a while now. I think this is a fad that will pass, but if there are people who are stupid enough to pay a lot of money to insert rubbish images in the mempool, that's up to them. It pisses us off when the fees go up but it will piss them off even more when they realise that everything they've spent is worthless (unless someone hits the lottery, so to speak). It sounds to me that there was a similar fad before this that eventually died out.

The fad I know will pass but how long will it stay in one question. Then, the second question will be if the fad pass, won't there be another. That is what we won't guarantee. From ordinals to the runes and then we keep counting. Since the loophole has been discovered, it will continue to be used.

we will definitely never see 1 sat per vbyte again in my opinion

No, not never. I believe we would see 1 sat/vByte again, but it is going to take sometime to happen. If all the spammers causing this congestion go away and there are no new ones, then fees can fall as low as that again.

While i also want to see 1 sat/vB again, i doubt it'll happen. Casey Rodarmor open the pandora box (letting average people know about adding arbitary data) and it can't be closed again. We'll continue to see people using Bitcoin for reason other than financial transaction, although we also can hope it won't gain much popularity/usage.

1 sat per vByte isn't possible anymore. We are gradually heading to bull run and we don't know what the spammers have for us in this bull run.

After halving we have not seen any positive things happen in the market but according to predictions the halving does not alter the price faster so as we have experienced 73k$ before halving so without doubt we will see price movement more than 73k$ after halving.

Before halving and ETF approval, I had always said and anticipated that two will derive the market!

• US ETF
• Halving bull run

I said, if A refuses to move the market, that B will. And fortunately A already moved the market. We shouldn't expect the effect of B almost immediately.
