Just listened on my walk around Antigua during which I paid for a coffee and banana bread with NOSTR wallet.

My jist from Paul is that he’s definitely behind the curve on current use case and application/re wall world usage.

And he kept honing in on “custodial lightning” services and couldn’t grasp that even in that case if an end user has their own self custody wallet that the bitcoin they receive is there’s regardless of if routes through a custodian.

The tradeoffs we make for such ease aren’t unknown and make sense given the need for L1 to be as ironclad as it is. I just can’t fathom the unwillingness to accept that innovation is happening on the protocols that are seeing real world use case, that things mature, and the gap of theory vs. application, in the end, is what will always make the real world difference.
