I recently heard nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs mention that the pandemic transformed him, altering the lens through which he views the world and its people. He said he could never unsee this shift, and I deeply related to his words.

Interestingly, I feel a similar way about my first on-chain Bitcoin transaction, and that epiphany was more profound with the Lightning Network. The legacy financial system is doomed; it has been out-innovated without even realizing it. Our new permissionless system is superior, and though still in its infancy, this is something I can never unsee.
