For years, people were told that the Lightning Network was the future of Bitcoin scaling. Fast, cheap, global payments. But over time, even some well-known BTC developers and builders started openly questioning whether it actually works at global scale. Antoine Riard, a Lightning developer and security researcher, publicly disclosed serious vulnerabilities in the Lightning Network and stepped away from LN security work, warning about unresolved problems: https://news.bitcoin.com/lightning-network-developer-warns-about-major-vulnerability-abandons-security-tasks/ Chris Pacia, former OpenBazaar lead developer, also criticized Lightning heavily and argued that it could never become the scaling solution people were promised: https://www.ccn.com/news/crypto/lightning-network-liquidity-below-5000-btc-openbazaar-developer-platform-never-work/ Even early Bitcoin Core developer Jeff Garzik later called Lightning a “dead end” for scaling:

Bitcoin Lightning Is A Dead End, Says Former Core Dev Garzik

Fifteen years after he first committed code to Bitcoin Core, Jeff Garzik still thinks the protocol will “outlast everything,” yet he no longer ...

This is why I continue to believe real peer-to-peer electronic cash should work directly on-chain, simply and reliably, without routing failures, liquidity issues, custodians, or complex workarounds. The goal was always usable money for the world - not making payments harder.

Nothing has fundamentally changed about #BCH. It still works exactly as it was designed to: fast, reliable, and with low fees for everyday use. Markets go up and down, but utility remains. People are still earning, spending, tipping, and building with Bitcoin Cash around the world. 💚 Stay strong. Keep building. Keep spending. Keep earning BCH regardless of the noise. This too shall pass. View quoted note →

"LN is a jobs program, powered by lies, that will probably (ultimately) kill BTC -- by ruining our Culture of Truth." - written Truthcoin on X👇

Right now, there's aggressive selling than buyers leaving the whole crypto market bleeding. Hmm, this is that moment that will test your convictions and aspirations. How do you deal with a market operating like this? There is no school teaching you that, only experience and resilience. Keep your feet on the ground.

If you are still doubting about BCH read this article below:

Bitcoin Cash: The Unruggable Electronic Cash That Actually Works

And right now let's compare BCH/ZEC to check which coin is the right one for merchant adoption. "We bleed but we don't give up."

No matter what, we keep grinding. BCH is the real deal.

"My only regret isn't have much to acquire more BCH. Opportunities like this are 💎"

Die meisten Bitcoin Maxis werden mich dafür hassen, was ich euch jetzt sage. Trotzdem muss ich es aussprechen, noch bevor es passiert. Saylor wi...

Not everyone is buying what Saylor is selling!!

I miss the times when crypto wasn't tied to traditional financial sector. It evolved separately and when things happened like a war or unstable nations relationships, the market was strong,steady and working like a charm. Right now when anything happens it get drown into those problems, sucking all from it and leaving the world in a state of collapse. I don't care, i will keep stacking more BCH and get prepared for the independence day. Fiat have been burned and BTC is being dragged by nations. Our cypherpunk movement won't give up. We are strong together. Verify the tweet:

🚨MASSIVE CRASH: $850,000,000,000 has been wiped out from gold and silver in the last 4 hours.

In moments of market pressure, don't get glued on the screen watching charts. Do something with your time that is positive: - take a walk - chat with kids - socialize with neighbors - watch a good movie or read a book Remember that even young people can get a strike cardiac arrest. Be safe and enjoy your time.

Here are the odds in Polymarket that Strategy, Saylor company, selling Bitcoin!! Now, why people still buying his "never selling" ideology? People will get screwed here.

The right mindset in action🔥

Know the market and be on top of the things. Don't get caught with your pants down:

26 days to go and I want to throw a big "thank you" to @BCH Reply Guy and @Einstein Coin Official for backing up the initiative. Your backing will help bring more people to the ecosystem and turn our local community more resilient and strong. Real people is what we need using BCH no matter where they are. Keep supporting this campaign: https://bchnostr.com/crowdfund?campaign=8faa5b8c2ebc7ee268fa74c126490dfa7b26ad22d29b1749632705953fb92465

Forgive me if i don't trust Trump but I don't. Since he became the president and "started" supporting crypto, things are going sideway. What I see are his family crypto business doing shady things, grabbing "free" money from shareholders and getting more rich than ever. His speech isn't for the market but to pump his own entrepreneurship and I believe, he doesn't care for the market at all. If you say that Bitcoin price "come from the air" then in some years to gain support start changing the narrative, then something very wrong is happening. He and family just found out a way to earn more from the market and nothing more. Nothing he can say will change my mind.

While many I seeing a drop in the BCH price, the legends are seeing an opportunity to grab more and secure their retirement or something that is important to them. Utility in the end will win the game and those ones betting on speculative assets will get a hit. If you can't spend, then that coin doesn't add anything to the financial space. BCH is more than a payment method - is a STATEMENT. People who use BCH to purchase things they need the most are building a circular economy that is slowly becoming stronger. If you can go to a place and be able to spend it on a pub, a market, a grocery store etc, you are giving your coins a meaning and building a local economy focused in Bitcoin Cash, and - you are FREE. There's always an opportunity in every season. Just pay attention to the signs. Morning.
