Anyone ever just stop and think for a bit, about the fact that #Bitcoin fucking works?

Seriously appreciate it for a second from the view of those trying to think it up when this was literal science fiction. What an absolutely insane long shot. The very notion that practically a handful of nerdy anarchists & dissidents on the internet could create a global monetary network who’s rules would supersede governments across the planet… it’s almost idiotic it sounds so improbable.

And for everyone squealing about what the price did last week or how in 10 years we will have X problem or whatever… it’s easy to forget that it’s just there. That it’s working. That it’s half a trillion dollars worth. That it’s monetary policy hasn’t changed since block 0. And despite the ire of countless authoritarians… it persists.

What a wild fucking timeline.

100%.. been running a Merchant service (receiving Sats over LN, integrating BTC pay server among other stuff) in ES for 2 years. Very few glitches.. Once the liquidity and the loop out is figured out it works.. Had some issues when the blockchain suffered and fees were unpredictable (ordinals), but other than that. Sats flow... In 20+ years in IT never seen anything this stable at this "young" age...
