Traffic jams are really 3-dimentional space being limited to a congested 1-dimentional plane. The fact that humanity hasn't figured out how to move efficiently in 3-dimentional space is the real problem.

With more that 100 degrees Celsius temperature variation across earth, we're truly lucky to be represented by rich polititians at Davos who know the correct degree we should all be living at.

I'm getting a little tired of my feed being 90% AI generated images.

It's crazy to think that we live in a time where it's possible for anyone to build parts of global payment and communication infrastructure without centralised governance. #lightning #nostr

I don't personally know anyone running a node, so I'm reaching out to the #nostr #lightning community... Could anyone with an #LND node please check if mine is reachable, with the following command: lncli connect 028811e5088c437720cca2a3bb7c18a355ae40b496cf229b0c97de0cf43f5eb56b@yb5zkdemmg3fejf45rzgx2xb4jaustbu7vda7wxafuoqtculawi3jhqd.onion:9735 MUCH appreciated ;)

Does anyone have an idea how long a pool account on terminal.lightning.engineering takes to open? The funding tx has 100 confirmations, yet it's still in 'pending' status :(

Any #lightning node operators looking for reciprocating channel partners?

As the year draws to a close, here's my 2 sats on the future of #Bitcoin and humanity. I agree with @Saifedean Ammous about freedom of choice, and with @Luke Dashjr about miners choosing how they build their blocks. However, we're not living in a libertarian utopia, and individuality always loses out against coercive collectivism. There are many different attacks against Bitcoin happening simultaneously right now, but they all one thing in common: dividing the community, and potentially the chain, eventually. At the end of the day, an individual can win a boxing match, but not a war. And to protect the individual rights of our children, and their children, we need an army to match the endless onslaught that Bitcoin will face forever. My fear is that attacks like Ordinals, OP_CTV, ETF's etc will lead to fractures in the community, resulting in smaller and smaller forks, rendering Bitcoin defenseless against the banking oligarchs. There's a fine line between collectivism and a strong community of principled individuals, and I can only hope that the economic principles of Bitcoin hardens the principles of this community against the seductive lure of castle building instead of fortress building. Bitcoin represents opportunity, probably the LAST opportunity humanity has to build an escape hatch out of a dying empire as it attempts to enslave each person and their offspring in debt forever. Either Bitcoin is freedom tech that affords individuals the right to transact and save or it becomes a fractured ghost of itself, absorbed into the debt matrix. 2024 will likely prove to be a pivotal year testing this resolve, and I wish you all strength, fortitude and happiness as the banking cartels drive nails into their own coffins.
