I'm really positive about the tariffs. I know they're not good for our economy. Obviously. But they're still good for **_us_**.

On my first trip overseas, in college and literally just because college is too boring, I discovered a thriving black market in.... Blue jeans. People were risking state theft and imprisonment for blue jeans.

Their government had/has a tariff on blue jeans. Because of this, jeans were super expensive, and wearing jeans was kinda like driving a lambo.

So naturally, there was a huge black market for blue jeans. Any time anyone took a trip overseas, especially to America, they loaded up an extra suitcase with blue jeans that they could turn around for something like 1000% profit. Of course, airports checked for it and people got arrested pretty regularly... But they did it anyways.

The **_HORROR!!_**

Bad policy encouraged **_criminality!!_**

Well... People shouldn't abide by bad policy. That black market in blue jeans raised the standard of living, while teaching people a valuable lesson. Without that bad policy, people wouldn't run into a serious question about their character : in recognizing the stupidity of the policy, they must choose - will they be cowards and obey they tyrants, or will they make some small, secretive act of defiance?

All things work to the greater good.

What a harvest we will reap!! A harvest of good people - good by proof of work, confrontation, adversity, and testing ; not by some weak and untested belief.

Odd... New channel?

What's your liquidity look like in that channel?

I still use an old iPhone, but I’ll be switching to a pixel running Graphene here soon. Thanks for the encouragement 🌸🫂

America sold out to China for cheap goods and labour. Now it’s blaming them. It’s all a game, Stack sats

Me? No. 😂

Parallel lines have so much in common.

It’s a shame they’ll never meet.

I'm glad I got to check this off my bucket list.

Ah - I use iOS so wouldn’t know. But it’s in TestFlight for me.

Cool! Looks like Misty Breez can now receive amounts as low as 100 sats (was limited to 1000sats).

Just to be clear, triple/double shots only count as a single cup of joe FYI

Why is it a bad idea?

To loop out half of your liquidity after opening a channel to your node (ofc new address) to be able to open new channels?

I just had a beer, no food yet. Tastes so right, yet somehow so wrong 😂

Unpopular opinion: Number of full nodes would skyrocket if there would available an app for Windows.

Don’t know if it’s even possible but certainly it would help if it is.
