It all comes back to Bitcoin.
Paolo and Starkness just announced USDT launch on Lightning ⚡ here at Plan B El Salvador.
Tomorrow - a demo on how AI agents will be using this technology 🚀

phew, barely made the list with Plan B action nostr:nevent1qqs2y04lvlyupcf5d5473ngrx2u2seux9qmk909z7hqtjzr2efpnpegpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtczyzgunf0p496yz9xxlckkrtjdaqnzn642p76j7jpgszfu0elqxmuryqcyqqqqqqgxe5cq5

I'll accept any shitcoin but as soon as I get it I'll exchange it for BTC.
I suggest everyone to do the same.
Bitcoin only.
I'm perplexed by this. I still don't understand what they need (or want) to build tether on Bitcoin layers 2 for.
think of it as onboarding tools for normies - instead of jumping through hoops to use USDT on a shitcoin to get stability - you get them into lightning wallet right away
hmm, interesting.
essentially it's basically just another network for them?
usdt on tron, USDT on eth, USDT on liquid, USDT on lightning?
I'll have to read more into. I have spent about 7 minutes looking into it so far.
Why would an ai agent use that instead of just sending sats though? Is it the hfsp agent? 😂
Is the advantage here simply that if you have a lighting app, and you are one of the unbanked, you can also send USDT cheaply?
( I am thinking about people that want to use USD as currency and savings, but may also benefit from people abroad sending ‘spending’ money to friends / family )
yes, look into nostr:nprofile1qqswh9f7d24s50sarg2rr48802gvklk54q6h6js0ythmse6ehj2xqqcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuem909ek2u3wve6kueqpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3samnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwdhx7un59eek7cmfv9kqsytv0d ... you also had this with Blink and other wallets, but now it's coming natively to Lightning with big supporters behind it
endgame
this is how the US Dollar and company (Fed) get to control lightning and monitor p2p payments. It is about control.
Bitcoin doesn't need a stablecoin, nor does lightning. Normies dont need to jump through a 'dencentralised' digital dollar to get to holding and transacting satoshis as peers.

the problem with normies is that they are put off by volatility (they still think in terms of selling Bitcoin for USD like nostr:nprofile1qqsp4lsvwn3aw7zwh2f6tcl6249xa6cpj2x3yuu6azaysvncdqywxmgprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvq9n8wumn8ghj7enfd36x2u3wdehhxarj9emkjmn99ah8qatzx9e8gmr3vdsnsu3kv96hjcthx4hr26pnds6ngv3jv3kngumj0y6kg7nxv4jngd3exen8zefcwvm8zem4v34hxdmydf6xvuelvfex7ctyvdshxapaw3e82egpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejs5mzk3a posted today).
otherwise I agree - would be best if everyone was at level where they could just stay humble and stack sats
It is only volatile in comparison to the fiat shitshow, normies need to think more like sovreign users instead of consumers conditioned to seek a 'safe' 3-5% consistent ROI on their 'investment'... like the BlackRock and co ETF this feels like a psyop to get people to ignore the mamouth in the room. Bitcoin is the money we can use to forge a new economic paradigm.
I am only ranting my thoughts here Uncle
all the best to them, the partnership, and AI agent fuckery, hope they bring those millions of USDT holders on Tron to move to LN
preach 🙌
Exciting times ahead! USDT on Lightning could revolutionize speed and cost for transactions. Curious to see how AI agents will leverage this—could be a game-changer for automation and microtransactions. Looking forward to the demo! 🚀
we all will just be programmers of AI agents that generate us income
Why do we need shitcoins on Lightning?
Why aren't Lightning Labs implementing Bolt 12?
When will BTCpay Server support Bolt 12?
Who's funding Lightning Labs?
The power of lightning 💜⚡️🧡💊🚀
Is this event being streamed online, cant find any on YT.
Very good and practical. As a prop miner I earn BTC but need to pay hosting in USDT. Aqua wallet was the first best way to do that. This will be better.
#Bitcoin is precious……..
Attempts will be made at every turn to shake weak hands out of their position.
Either folks understand what they are holding or don’t……..
Bitcoin can compete against any fiat, even on its home turf.
Sure a bunch of normies will fall into all kinds of fiat traps, but ultimately permission and inflation will destroy any confusion over time and they'll figure it out.
Also if it rug pulls tron and other shitcoins, can't be all that bad 🤣
The ultimate Trojan horse
