There is an large subset in this latest cohort of Bitcoiners that seem deathly allergic to two objectively true things: 1) There is risk. You aren't entitles to sick gains. 2) This is actually a technology. You could stand to fucking learn about it.

All the "easy"self-chstody lightning wallets seem to just use some "don't make me think" slight-of-hand that is ultimately belied as a really crap tradeoff. Phoenix: Outrageous fees. Quickly looks like shit when you try to onboard someone with $10 and they receive $8.50.Even once they have a channel, the routing fees are like 10x what they should be. Don't demo this to vendors looking to escape credit card fees. Aqua: Your "lightning" payment gets trapped in some limbo, where you can't tell if it failed, if it's multi-pathing, or whatever the fuck they are doing behind the curtain. Don't demo this to people who want instant settlement. Wallet of Satoshi/Breez/Blitz: Last mile of the payment is paved with surveilance. Don't use this if you wa to demonstrate censorship resistance.

"In May 2025, the company announced that rogue customer support agents had given access to hackers who demanded a $20 million ransom to not publish information stolen from a compromised database. Coinbase later specified that the incident had affected about 69,500 customers, exposing their names, dates of birth, the last four digits of their Social Security numbers (SSNs), physical addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses."

Two things happen when the ideological weapons factories have completely used up a term like "white surpemacy" to the point it has no meaning beyond "something I dont like." 1) People stop taking them seriously 2) People become numb to actual white supremacy View quoted note →

If the information is unverifiable and on a screen, the best frame is to assume it's a lie.
