Yup, read Lyn Alden's book, too. My big takeaway was the impedance mismatch between clearing (telegraph) and settlement (gold) is the root of instability.
Fixed with ecash and bitcoin.
Lightning Network is the telegraph , Cashu is the IOU and Bitcoin is the gold.
But you also need a reputation layer. That's nostr and it's cryptographic keypairs. IMO. Which I'm thinking about more in context of the immutable nature of btc transactions.
Yup. Iām hoping that nostr:npub176p7sup477k5738qhxx0hk2n0cty2k5je5uvalzvkvwmw4tltmeqw7vgup and nostr:npub1cn670f663n3ks02jnnlsvd5y88zjnefy8343ykaxs7y3nzzketrsrjwt8a can crack the reputation, attestation problem.
My sole focus is access to funds and records.
You certainly will. I have faith in you. š
