Let’s say you care about a sovereign, global Bitcoin protocol and its benefits. Do you align yourself more with the interests of publicly-traded Bitcoin mining firms in Texas using special state programs or with the interests of Bitcoin on-ramps to get more Bitcoin in the hands (and wallets) of the people? Purely hypothetical

What’s the TL;DR on lightspark and how it’ll make lightning more awesome for me, an individual user? Or is this just for companies with large bags?

Used lightning to send over 1.5 million sats and it went though from my node — quite a surprise! Only two hops, but just over 1,000 sats in fees, which is pretty substantial. Lightning routers must be making a killing right now

Those were the days my friend

Everybody’s winging it all of the time

geographic decentralization of the hashrate is a good thing

Satoshi's innovation is quietly powering a new Value-For-Value creative economy

Bitcoin's lightning network is the natural backend for a new generation of creators who can't be cancelled.

The amount of Bitcoin public policy misinformation spread on BTC Twitter by influencers for the sake of engagement is not only exhausting, but it will lead to more bad policy decisions

hey you sneaky bastard

Don’t get me wrong. I think CCP = bad news bears. But politicians are cashing in on anti-CCP hysteria to restrict individual rights. The McCarthyism is getting a bit wild. There are legitimate threats and tools to deal with them. But making people less free doesn’t seem like a winner.

After 15 days waiting, should I be feeling lucky today?

Does anybody have starlink? What kind of speeds are you getting?

At least in state-based commercial law, you don't want Bitcoin classified as "money". That enables more financial surveillance and restrictions: "Not being defined as money means that Bitcoin transactions are not recognized as money transmission, which would otherwise require various licenses, permissions, and legal registrations. Overall, that keeps the Bitcoin protocol outside the regulatory scope of restrictive rules that apply to legal tender like the US dollar. It also means that in bankruptcy proceedings which normally split assets like cash or money held in a bank account, the allocation of Bitcoin would depend on who ultimately has “property rights” over the coins. In the case of a bankrupt firm such as FTX or Voyager, those rights would belong to the customer who purchased the Bitcoin, and could not be considered as company property."
