AI generated - but awesome video on NOSTR. 19k zaps. That would pay for the compute and some of the time to make it. Economics stacks up. Way better than on a centralized platform.

Self custodial lightning is not broken, Pheonix wallet works perfectly. However, noobs do not appreciate, and are therefore unwilling to pay for their own privacy and sovereignty. We must use any tools we have which get noobs as close as possible while being as cost effective as possible until they have used and understand Bitcoin enough to then value their privacy and sovereignty.

Price is going down because we have too many miners.

The Bitcoin custody model is a delicate set of tradeoffs and reducing it to "selling out users" is wrong and completely unhelpful. Everyone wants self-custody but the reality is noobs aren't ready to pay for it. The question is how close can we get while maintaining noob friendly UX View quoted note →

How to future proof your usefulness against incoming AI. Be competent at what you do. A competent tastemaker using AI will always win out against an incompetent one.

When you're all in on Bitcoin you can't "buy the dip" you just have to try not to "spend the dip". Vacuum cleaner broke during the dip? House going to get a bit dirty for a while.

Spark has usability and cost benefits and small custodial risk, and provides for unilateral exit, but spark addresses kill user privacy. Cashu provides for excellent privacy but has significant cusodial risk. Question: Is it possible to put Cashu on top of Spark custody?
