Whenever I see a project, website, or simple tool being made available and they have a "buy me a coffee" or "leave a tip" button my brain always immediately pops open my Alby... and then i click to find they want a credit card and all my details and I want to slap somebody.

Why are we still doing this? How do they not know that Lightning is super easy and takes a second? I refuse to tip anyone for any project if they don't use BTC/LN now, its just stupid at this point. That I have to put in all my credit card details in, put myself at risk, while an absurd fee gets taken to send you 50ยข of the $1 I tried to send?

Just no. I'm done tipping fiat.

I gave up PayPal last year after 20 years and I see similar things. Sometimes I use Fold but small transactions would be better.

When my node says I routed a transaction and I get 1.023 sats I am really happy.

Sats really are a miracle.

Lightning nodes for self hosting aren't easy (for people who over think things... Me) but they are rewarding.

Learning to be the bank is exciting.
