in the past, if you would have told people a nation would arise that defended the rights of the people, and would become so prosperous the average citizen would be fat, they would have laughed at you and asked, “what’s a right?”

We are officially closer to the Year 2050 than 2000.

Let that sink in.

Everything BTC is public, no?

All the "easy"self-chstody lightning wallets seem to just use some "don't make me think" slight-of-hand that is ultimately belied as a really crap tradeoff.

Phoenix: Outrageous fees. Quickly looks like shit when you try to onboard someone with $10 and they receive $8.50.Even once they have a channel, the routing fees are like 10x what they should be. Don't demo this to vendors looking to escape credit card fees.

Aqua: Your "lightning" payment gets trapped in some limbo, where you can't tell if it failed, if it's multi-pathing, or whatever the fuck they are doing behind the curtain. Don't demo this to people who want instant settlement.

Wallet of Satoshi/Breez/Blitz: Last mile of the payment is paved with surveilance. Don't use this if you wa to demonstrate censorship resistance.

WoS has surveillance?

This time next year 1BTC = 299,000$

avg defender of core: blue hair, doesn't have kids.

knots guy: didn’t like what was going on, forked. now 17% of nodes run his impl. lost count of his kids’ names.

a huge reality check for me is searching nostr and/or lightning network on reddit.

tiny subreddits and mostly skeptical posts that Lightning doesn’t work and nostr is full of criminals.

these are such obscure technologies that i have decided my life to for the past 7 years and the majority of people have no idea exists.

I keep going because it’s obviously the right *technical* solution, and i can’t imagine working on whats popular vs what is right.
