As much as I love lightning and Bitcoin, it has a fatal flaw. Complexity.
I’m pretty darn technical and even I can get a damn lightning wallet set up on a node. Now I know this is 301 level type stuff, but it’s not the least bit intuitive and damn near impossible to just fund a freaking lightning wallet to even begin to open channels. I shouldn’t need to open a bajillion channels to fund from my BTC wallet to my Lightning Wallet on the same node!
Can anyone please explain what I am doing wrong here?

🤣 “Easy Money” like scamming everyone with your book that is obviously full of false narratives and no understanding of Bitcoin at all? 

#NostrDocs, what’s your thoughts on vitamins?
For transparency, I take Echinacea/Zinc/Vitamin D3 almost everyday and Magnesium and Iron every 3-4 days and I do feel better overall and haven’t really had any common colds that I can recall.

Oh so you bought a “Non-Fungible” Token that is completely unique and only you hold it? And there can never be a copy of it? But then the creator changed the metadata and changed your NFT without your knowledge or control? Ohhh interesting…🧐

So the $342B question is…does the US govt/Federal Reserve/FDIC bailout Silicon Valley Bank and its customers which include crypto companies, in which case they now have directly supported and bailed out crypto heading into what will be a tense election year, OR, do they let it collapse and teach other banks about counterparts risk and deal with contagion later?
Remember, they bailed out Bear Stearns so JPM could acquire them, but ultimately let Lehman fail. Which happens here? They’ve seen this movie and remember Powell comes from the private equity sector. He knows the game quite well and probably almost all the players. Oh to be a fly on the wall in that office!
