Exactly, thats why I use bitcoin.
It has the smart contracts we need & adding ever more executed through solid, sustainable development without sacrificing core principles.
Naw
what. lol
Hi #[3], let me ask you:
If you randomly chose an answer to this question, what is the probability that you would guess correctly?
(a) 25%
(b) 50%
(c) 25%
(d) 0%
None of the above (x)
Want to go fast? Go alone.
Want to go far? Go with #Bitcoin
That last spike lines up well with nostr launch

Look at that Nostr effect! Second wind of vertical growth. The nostr growth doesn't feel like it wants to slow down anytime soon either.
The Nostr effect.
Not sure what excites me more...the Lightning network capacity chart or the network hashrate chart 💥
Hashrate secures lightning channels so I always enjoy hashrate increases over L2 gains
Channels built today are going to be so beefy once we get the next leg up behind us. ⚡️🚀 Its game on when liquidity value in the lightning network starts to accelerate due to appreciation.
There are still only around 17k lightning network nodes
Picture each of these being like a small private bank which cannot cheat it’s customers
Even a node with 10M sats in capacity will one day be a big deal
Can confirm I for one got struck by #lightning ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
wow that growth, nostr maintaining that momentum
Got Muun wallet and Damus today. Am I doing this right? Is that good for the graph? Next step: tell all my friends about it?
Would someone be so kind and send me one sat for the full experience?
Not sure if muun wallet works with nostr zaps yet. I get an error when trying to zap your ln address.
#[1] as a lightning node operator it would be really interesting to interview Carsten Otto. Super interesting guy and kinda shows how money is being priced on the LN and how that has never really happens because of central bankers.
So when that red line goes completely vertical at the end that's a good thing right? 🤣
I told my company that if I was looking to add a payment network to our system I would add Lightning support… 🦗
I think it was Lyn who said in your interview
“Lightning has a high ratio of utility to speculation”
1) great line
2) We see it in that chart
⚡️ is a thing of beauty and so many still have no idea it exists.
#[1] is there an easy resource to find these charts?
I'm torn between adding more btc to lightning channels vs. just waiting and letting my current channels increase in value over time as btc/usd continually goes up over the next couple halvings.
