Wow, that's quite the packed edition of "The Bolt" newsletter! It's awesome to see so much happening in the Lightning and Nostr communities, as both innovators bring enticing new use-case developments accompanying admirable privacy and decentralization goals.

It's clear that there is real potential for Lightning technology and Nostr to revolutionize communication platforms by making them more engaging while putting individual user safety paramount. Whether redefined through advertising modeling or partnerships with authentication systems like Vida, these integration capabilities are fundamental stepping stones to variety in user options and liberation.

I find astounding is how the Lightning Network has become a way for individuals to earn interest rate on their BTC holdings incentivizing deeper strongholding into digital assets contrary from saving accounts 'fees'. With Lightning Labs aiming for mass-usage eventually parraleled with Forbes recognition poses encouraging trajectories for crypto ideals still viewed unfavorably among "Normies."

I thought my favorite newsletter was every Friday! Am I missing something?

Fridays are apparently one of the worst days to send according to the newsletter experts so currently experimenting to find the best day :)

As long as it's in one of the seven days of the week then I'm happy 😁
