Anyone ever have a lightning payment get stuck in pending for hours? Never had that happen, it typically fails or goes through. #asknostr #bitcoin #lightning

I really think Square enabling lightning payments at all their PoS terminals is going to be the snowball that starts an avalanche in merchant adoption. If the lightning network can handle the load of every day purchases en masse, it really furthers the death knell for alt chains as a means of payments. Most people don't need a DEX, thousands of shitcoin tokens, and vaporware dApps. They just need a money that preserves its value over time and can be used to purchase goods/services when needed. #bitcoin achieves this.

Why the fuck would any treasury company by mETH?!?!?!? -Monetary policy can change whenever the foundation deems it fit. -No supply cap. -Terrible privacy -Centralized AF -Shit tons of competitors that will eat its share soon #bitcoin is the only digital gold and hard money. there is no second best.

can someone send me a test DM? trying to troubleshoot my messages

GM. It's ☕ time.

im literally just out here on nostr posting into the abyss

Stablecoins are going to be the next frontier. Visa and Mastercard are developing cards that directly interface with wallets for spend. Additionally, there are platforms they are enabling #bitcoin and stablecoin bill pay. (ie. spritz.finance) More will arrive soon. Save in #bitcoin and spend in stablecoins. You can use a dex to trade your #bitcoin for stablecoins when you need to spend and then use a Visa/Mastercard connected wallet. Less centralized than the current system, but still centralized, I know. But its a step in the right direction. This is how it scales to billions and fast. It's going to be like a digital version of how gold backed currencies and banks used to work. Deposit gold and receive cash to spend. Blockchains are really just competing to be the best stablecoin network at the end of the day. Keep an eye out for the stablecoin bill in the U.S. https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/394/text/is

Why do you #bitcoin?

This is a chart. #bitcoin

is nos2x legit?

Does the #lightning network really scale #bitcoin to billions of people? I am not so certain. It eventually comes full circle to centralization as billions of people will use custodial wallets anyway. Billions of people will not run a node and manage their channels. Maybe that's just the pessimist in me. While I like the idea of lightning, I feel like the federated model (similar to liquid) will be the future. Not that it's the one I want, but I just see it happening more so than everyone running a lightning node. Either way its inventible that speed sacrifices decentralization and security. Maybe I am wrong and regarded. Who knows. Maybe #bitcoin just stays a store of value forever.
