“Lightning is way more private and also more censorship resistant than on-chain.

And miners cannot do shit about off-chain transactions.” - @Giacomo Zucco Listen to Chat_162 with Giacomo and @Guy Swann on Bitcoin Audible, available on all major platforms: 🔗 Fountain:

The average user does not care about your sovereignty. It hurts to admit, but looking at the current state of freedom tech, the friction is undeniable. It’s 2026, and syncing files between devices is still migraine-inducing. We keep trying to sell the philosophy when we haven’t even mastered the basic utility. This is exactly why I'm building Pear Drive: scan a QR code, devices connect, files flow. No servers, no friction. Are we building the tools people want, or just the tools we want them to care about?
