Since bitcoin has no RRP, what is the context in which a retail "sale" makes sense?

You're clearly really into this planet destroying ponzi scheme. You keep referring to something as a "sale". You have no way to compare the current price to the future price. Perhaps you portfolio is still tulip/beanie baby heavy too.
Bitcoin last year required something in the region of 134TWhs to maintain, for 4 transaction per second (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29769892). Some nuclear pose stations generate over that in 20 years of production. The world is burning, but so long as you get more people to join the ponzi scheme, who cares, right, it's a "sale".

> Everything is on sale.
Such meaningless phrasing. If something wasn't on sale, nobody could buy it. The crypto meme of dips in the price being 'a sale' is key to hooking the uniformed new fish into the great ponzi scheme.

Home hub is a spectacularly poor piece of kit. Long start up time from powering on, high energy usage, really poor software (repeat soft bricking from remote updates at random times of day and night), historically awful attitudes to security (see other comments). Everything was better rub as Telewest/NTL.

A post here some days ago (since removed) linked to a google drive containing generated images (which displayed nonsense), the hashes of which matched those of genuine problems images.
