Amazing how all the #Bitcoin conferences are in the United States, yet its very hostile towards Bitcoin itself.
Iβm putting together a list of Lightning wallets to recommend to customers who visit nostr:npub1key55ax33gkl50uqemvl4khrtqrhzm7wzpc7fhseutt5ddkcwcrqgxlt3h and want to learn how to buy a beer at the bar. β‘οΈπΊ
Requirement 1: It needs to be easy to set up for someone with minimal bitcoin knowledge, or has experience with crypto but never used Lightning before
Requirement 2: It needs to work without a VPN in New York (and the US in general) β this means NO Strike, Cash App, ZBD, Primal, Phoenix, WoS, etc.
This is a surprisingly hard list to write.

Itβs so true. Not only that but very likely bitcoin was mostly developed in the United States. We already know that the concept of a hashed blockchain (timechain) was created at Bell Labs in Morristown, New Jersey.
#Bitcoin was probably a CIA invention. Thats what Satoshi Nakamoto translates to from Japanese.
Fits what they do.
Does it matter now, though?
Hoestly I find it very amusing to imagine that the CIA invented bitcoin to track financial transactions and then just went and accidently defunded the entire state.
nope.
The internet and Tor are military technologies. Open source that all can use.
Drugs and porn.
