Curiosity of the day:
Starting from block 139690 (05/08/2011) a miner named Eligius started to inscribe a Catholic Prayer in Latin in some coinbase messages.
Block 139690
cbaa0a64924fe1d6ace3352f23242aa0028d4e0ff6ae8ed615244d66079cfb1
(see the hexdump at the bottom of the post).
"Eligius/Benedictus Deus. Benedictum Nomen Sanctum eius." -> block 139690
"Benedictus Iesus Christus, verus Deus et verus homo." -> block 139792
"Benedictum Nomen Iesu." -> block 139831
"Benedictum Cor eius sacratissimum." -> block 139898
"Benedictus Sanguis eius pretiosissimus." -> block 139904
"Benedictus Iesus in sanctissimo altaris Sacramento." -> block 139921
"Benedictus Sanctus Spiritus, Paraclitus." -> block 139942
"Benedicta excelsa Mater Dei, Maria sanctissima." -> block 139977
"Benedicta sancta eius et immaculata Conceptio." -> block 139990
"In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen." -> block 140181
This is a Catholic prayer composed in 1797 in Latin by the Italian Luigi Felici for the purpose of making reparation after saying or hearing sacrilege or blasphemy. https://image.nostr.build/91230c18ee8760256d9dab50a328743aaf78477d7007dfbc8d6e35619b0aa44e.jpg

I found on stacker.news this accurate definition of the eras of the #Bitcoin life so far…
1. Satoshi Era (2009-2010)
2. Silk Road/Wiki-leaks Era (2011-2012)
3. Mt. Gox Era (2013-2014)
4. Blocksize War Era (2015-2016)
5. ICO Bubble/Crash Era (2017)
6. #Reckless/Rings of Fire/Lightning Torch Era (2018-2019)
7. Stimulus/Saylor/NFTs/Yield-farming/Proof-of-Stake/Ponzi Double-Bubble/Crash (2021-2022)
8. Ordinals (Shitcoins on Bitcoin) Era (2023)
9. Post-ETF (Third-party custody is a Scaling Solution) Era (2024-present)
As a class 2022 bitcoiner, I was ‘born’ during era 7, immediately after the Terra/Luna crash and a few months before the FTX collapse.
To what era do you belong?

This is an outstanding moment for buying the hardest money ever.
Acquire a superior asset (#BTC) against an inferior one (USD).

Unbelievable. If we will continue like this #Bitcoin subsidies will become very soon marginal for miners compared to block fees… https://image.nostr.build/1f1ebc134a42d496853dc0ac55cb9e058c5d40fa21b845686e010d109a9e03ba.jpg

21,000 blocks to the halving.
90% of this cycle is completed.
Tik tok next block.

83.7 BTC for a transaction fee. New world record!
This event reinforces my idea that there are a lot of new big players (sometimes making mistakes) entering the #Bitcoin space in this period.

#Bitcoin first consolidates its role as a store of value then it will gradually become a medium of exchange.
Exactly like hard money did in the past

#Bitcoin is a concrete hope for a better future
