Exactly 14 years ago on this day, Satoshi Nakamoto wrote a legendary phrase on the Bitcointalk forum:
π This statement was made during the early days of Bitcoin's development when Satoshi was actively engaging with the community to explain the concept and mechanics of Bitcoin.
The message reflects Satoshi's firm belief in the revolutionary potential of Bitcoin and the frustration with skeptics who didn't grasp the vision. π
This phrase has since become iconic, symbolizing the unwavering conviction of Bitcoin's creator in the face of doubt and criticism.
"If you don't believe me, or don't understand, I don't have the time to try to convince you, sorry."

Is it time for a new Bitcoin ATH?
π Investor and Okse co-founder, known on Twitter as Elja, believes so. He stated that Bitcoin's post-halving consolidation is "practically over."
Previously, Standard Chartered predicted that Bitcoin could reach a new all-time high in August and then rise to $100,000 by the U.S. presidential election in November. π
Do we believe it? Yes - π₯
August has always been slow for crypto growth, the new ATH will be in September. - π

π Mempool has launched a Bitcoin transaction acceleration service!
π§βπ»The Mempool team introduced an off-chain Bitcoin transaction acceleration service through partnerships with mining pools. This service is especially useful during sudden changes in fees.
They collaborate with Foundry USA Pool, MARA Pool, SBICrypto, SpiderPool, and Ocean Pool, covering ~40% of the hashrate. π§
Users will need to pay an additional fee for mining and service to confirm "stuck" transfers via Mempool Accelerator.
π Here's how it works:
1. Search for the transaction on mempool.space.
2. Select the acceleration option.
3. Pay with Bitcoin via Lightning Network (LN) or fiat through Cash App, Apple Pay, or Google Pay without registration.
Mempool sends a request to partners who decide on acceleration based on the new fee rate. The transaction isnβt replaced but given higher priority, increasing its chances of validation in the next block. β³

π The average hash rate, representing the total mining power, has also risen to 635.6 EH/s (exahashes per second).
This growth in difficulty can be attributed to new miners entering the market and current miners using new or more efficient equipment. π»
