As someone who feels right at home with #Bitcoin's long-time-preference point of view, one thing I've been incredibly excited about for a while as we enter a new cycle after the #halving, is taking the teachings we've had from the past cycle and seeking resolutions to the issues presented.

As someone who runs infrastructure but occasionally onboards newly-orange-pilled-bitcoiners into sound money for the self-custody aspect, scalability is probably one of the biggest pain points as we look to transact daily, and even see our favourite internet, #Nostr, integrate Bitcoin payments in whichever form/layer they come.

#Lightning continuously matures as L3 #ecash rises on its shoulders - But inbound #Liquidity is still a huge blocker for self-custody, especially in high-fee times.

#Ark presents several core L2 improvements and launches on mainnet in two weeks™, but is in its infancy - Time will tell how fast it spreads into our daily lives.

#Liquid becomes increasingly attractive to those willing to give up custody, or in times of high fees, especially for swaps - But a federation of companies may not necessarily be a federation for the people, by the people, we shall see.

Lots of amazing development coming our way, brace yourselves.
