eCash > ecash.
ecash is just mobile shorthand. Formally, avoid compromising value for passivity.

When it became clear X was going away, the President tweeted his alternative account with Bluesky listed first. That's all it would take.
When Twitter was no longer available to Trump (because they banned him), he moved to Parler, and millions followed.. that is, of course, until Parler itself was subsequently banned by the major app stores and web service provider.

PS. it also seems strange that the swap usage is exactly the same - as if it's not even using the additional swap file. Is it possible the change you're seeing now is actually a result of previously lowering the swappiness parameter - and it just needed a reboot or something to finally take effect? Because the change you're seeing now is pretty much what I would have expected to see from just lowering the swappiness.

That's interesting. So in addition to making use of more RAM, by increasing the total memory space (RAM+swap) from ~10 GB to 18 GB, running Bitcoin Core is actually consuming more total memory. It's almost as if Core was (still is?) performing its own memory throttling (making its own decisions about which data to store in memory vs read/writing directly to disk) based on your total memory space. Maybe it does this in an attempt to optimize performance while processing the massive utxo set (if so, it would seem it's just not doing a very good job).

hmmm.... I certainly would have expected something to change... unless for some reason it would really like much more than even the 60% available that the 100% swap allows.
At 100% swap, it sure doesn't seem like increasing swappiness (encouraging even more swap) could possibly be the answer.
Good luck going down the swappiness rabbit hole. I'd certainly like to hear the solution when you find one. You still can't go wrong with more RAM, though. Pretty much all the 8GB minimum recommendations I found made it a point to say "even more would be better".

I can't really help with Bitcoin Core, specifically. I don't even run a node myself, yet. My experience pertains more to memory in general. If, however, Bitcoin Core is the only thing you're using the laptop for, it's probably safe to say it's responsible for the load on the swap.
It makes sense (or at least I can rationalize) that it would be reading from the swap more than writing to it. I think a smart memory manager would choose to use the swap for the more static data that has needed to persist the longest - while leaving the RAM for the more fleeting data, calculations, etc.... but I'm a bit out of my depth here.
As for the 60% RAM available, I agree it would seem more intuitive that it should be making more use of this, but you wouldn't want it to get to the state of having 0% available, either. It's my understanding that the swappiness parameter is what you can use to tune this behavior. I also think the percentage it chooses to keep available depends on how the data is being used as much as the size of the data. e.g. if it were all just static data that wasn't changing often, maybe it wouldn't want to rely as much on swapping to keep its alternatives open... but, again, this is just me rationalizing about something I have no expertise in.

To be clear, this speech is from 2019. As we've already seen with regard to other topics, 2024 anointed Presidential candidate Harris - intent on pandering to the middle - can't be expected to hold the same policy positions as 2019 no-shot Presidential candidate Harris - intent on scratching out a niche.
In other words, who knows what political expediency would eventually dictate for 2025 President Harris' policy positions if she wins?

It seems to me that the monetary base - as a component of M2 - provides an even more direct correlation; particularly as Bitcoin has matured in recent years.

Had an awful time setting up a Samsung my father bought himself a couple years ago. It ultimately worked for him though since all it had to do was show Fox News when he turned it on. LOL
I bought myself a cheap TV around the same time that happened to come with the GoogleTV OS. It is still slow-as-piss on that hardware - but way better than the Samsung.
I was also wondering if it would make more sense to just use a computer monitor... do you know of any real downsides?... I mean, assuming you're fine relying on an AppleTV (which I am) or other streaming device.

What I almost never see is any humility regarding uncertainty.
There's a chasm of difference between definitive certainty and making a best guess based on the available data. Particularly regarding such a complex system, a high enough uncertainty in the data that's not yet available could easily result in the exact wrong best guess. It seems to me that scientists are capable of a lot more humility in this uncertainty than the scientific journalists who report on them.

Even then, CBDC control is only effective until value is transferred to the underground market. e.g. receive CBDC, use CBDC to buy approved food, clothing, etc; then, trade approved purchases for underground market currency in order to spend on whatever.
In short, Degens will find a way.

This is effectively the same general problem of how con you control how it's used? Ultimately, you can't. Whether it's used for drugs, gambling, repayments to loan sharks, or any other un-'planned' uses, degens will find a way. The advocate position - as unfalsifiable as it may be - is simply that on balance, the positive results provided would outweigh the negatives.
