I heard about it while traveling in Asia in 2011, had so many missing chances 2015 and 2017. I never came to make my first purchase until 2019, already regretting not have done that earlier. That frustration came to an end two years later with the most ridiculous announcement ever: my country, (yes, my country the one I have left for almost two decades) announced Bitcoin would be legal tender! 🤯🤯🤯 yes, El Salvador 🇸🇻 became Bitcoin land!
No zap can beat what this announcement did in my life⚡️
What a journey you have gone through…and that rabbit hole goes on and on, I bet 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
We lived for many years thinking that it wasn’t sustainable. Now we are realizing how wrong we were.
Bitcoin adoption nonstop 🚀🚀🚀⚡️
My thoughts with her 💖

Yeah we don't charge anything for Lightning, neither sending nor receiving. Zap away! Any fees you see there occasionally will likely be extremely minimal, and are charged by other routing nodes, not ours. Our node really doesn't make much from routing fees from other people's payments either, it's not our focus.
We charge for on-chain transactions (swapping in and out of lightning to on-chain), and make some from the fiat conversions.
The reason we don't need to charge for Lightning: Lightning is the proper retail payment system we've been waiting for ever since we discovered Bitcoin wasn't really suitable for this purpose. It has genuinely brought down the cost of individual retail payments to the marginal cost of sending a bit of data across the internet (LOL) and the cost of having liquidity available, which becomes less with scale.
Some of us worked at banks and credit card companies and were disgusted at how much small business especially are placed at the mercy of payment providers. Visa and Mastercard fees are excessive, but there is limited competition to fix that, because you need a privileged licence to compete in that market. Lightning changes all that.
We want to bring Lightning to the world, and that is our first priority. ⚡

I am glad I stopped regretting in 2021 and made one of the best decisions in my life 🍊💊
🇪🇸🗣As a Spanish speaker Mondays to Fridays actually rhyme with it:
Lunezap ⚡️
Martezap ⚡️
Miércolezap⚡️
Juevezap ⚡️
Viernezap ⚡️
Saturdays and Sundays are for cleaning the house, family, football and/or church.
Spanish speakers, zap me if I’m wrong? 😂
Bitcoin adoption at this speed, and #nostr is still just a tiny piece of the cake 🤯🤯🤯🫣😃
Coffeezilla’ latest video about Celsius 🔥🔥🔥🔥
#bitcoin has no language, speaks universally 🗣⚡️
I was tired of trying to find my Bitcoin community on Twitter. This has made my life not only easier but better. I have been zapped already, please feel free to zap newcomers for me. We welcome them 🙏🏼⚡️
#Nostr this is the place to be.
You are not the only one, trust me.
I’ve learnt 4 languages in my life and I’ve gotta admit in each of them it has been inevitable not to learn those negative words.
BUT, by meditating and just live the present as consciously as possible you deactivate from them. I know, it is process.
I am still not there…yet.
Results are being seeing faster than EVER! 🍊💊
