Can you cancel a transaction to unfuck yourself when e.g. you've accidentally tried to transfer all your funds with 0 fee?

What next? Chargebacks? This is actually extremely good that you can't cancel your transaction.

My question is is it theretically possible to pay miners so they DON'T approve your transaction?

I think we should make gooncoins. If we all jump in on the ground floor we can cash out once the real morons jump in.

What would happen if we all started transferring each other measly sums of .00000001 bitcoin for free? Could we automate this process? Would there be any point or are bitcoins now at a point where the demand and transaction velocity is so high that it will never catch up until it goes pear shaped?

Sounds good. Let's do it. How fast can we conceivably mine these things if we just copy bitcoin?

I don't mind saving a wallet full of 100k gooncoins for 10 years and cashing out.

The funniest part about Dogecoin is it's a superior technical evolution of Bitcoin that was made by some guy who wanted to prove how easy making cryptocoins was. And the dogecoin community was constantly making donations to charities and stuff instead of creating scams.

And scamming and raping people lots, of course.

One of those idiots who predicted the 6,000 price also predicted a 10k price around this time and 100,000 price after 2018

Who the gently caress knows anymore? Just don't put your life savings in it and hope you're not the last moron holding the bag

edit: The thing about Bitcoins is... it doesn't make sense. It's driven by stupidity, a lot of the price is just leveraged stupidity of us humans. So in that way, considering maybe 1% of people around the world have even heard about it, there's a lot of stupidity to be mined

It's a ponzi, just buy early and sell before it collapses.

Also if it falls and then rises again, buy in the dip.

First you give money to the organization that banks with some obscure polish farmer bank and prints fake money to buy bitcoins with every time the price dips.

Short bitcoin on their platform

OOPS! your short position was accidentally closed out at $29,000 even though the price never actually went anywhere near there.

Paypal handled 1.9 billion transactions in Q3 2017.

At 8 transactions per second, this would take Bitcoin 7.5 years to process into the blockchain.

The minimum fee to get your bitcoin transaction thru is now $5.69.
although for that price it'll take 24 hours.
But for just $19.11 your transaction will only take 1 hour!
Currency of the future, everyone :downs:

The current block reward is 12.5 bitcoins.
The average number of transactions per block is ~2,500.
The average amount of transaction fees per block is 4 bitcoins.
The current bitcoin price is ~$15,000.

https://blockchain.info/stats

The block reward is $187,500.

Every 10 minutes, $187,500 is being removed from the bitcoin economy.

Each transaction costs $75 in block rewards.

Each block has $60,000 in transaction fees.

The average transaction fee is $24.

Block reward plus transaction fee means each transaction costs $99.
