My cousin finally looked into this whole Bitcoin thing.

After hours of research, it's seems that he came to the conclusion that he needs AS MUCH BITCOIN AS POSSIBLE.

Sending him 🍷 to help him celebrate his freedom 🥳

That is an awesome mix! Thank you! 🔥

That's the one!! Gosh we had to much fun

GN! #nostr

The tradfi bros are a noisy bunch. They do their best to distort the signal to serve their own ends

But quietly in the background, an army of self-sovereign individuals is growing

Patient, disciplined, and ungovernable

When the middlemen fail, we will remain

We are the #Bitcoin hodlers of last resort

Ignore the hype, or you'll miss the trend

Thank you for coming! It's been good to be around so many plebs. Thank you #btcprague for connecting people and building bridges! 🧡🔥

We closed at minimum 6am for the last 4 days. Do we say GM or GN 😅

We did almost 500 lightning transactions since Thursday! Provided with a 10% discount. Win-win!⚡💪

saylor said in a bloomberg interview that there would be ‘no bitcoin winter’ which is what all the engagement accounts picked up and broadcasted

but immediately followed that up saying we would probably drop 80% after a blow off top at a million lol

Phoenix - the management of channels is invisible, although there are channels.

Minty Breez - these are swaps to liquid, so no channels.

You can also use Cashu or custodial wallets (Wallet of Satoshi, Blink, Bitlify).

I advise against custodial wallets, but they have some benefits.

You can pocket Bitcoin like cash, so that's not a problem.

What Square did is enable payment network for merchants who don't care. They just increased the number of paying customers and money available to their customers.

Blame the politicians where blame is justified, but it's also true most merchants don't care about accepting Bitcoin. If they did, they could have done it self custodially even under MiCA - the crypto asset service providers are regulated.

So both are true. For network effects, you basically need to make one side super easy, sometimes even subsidized. In the US or outside of European union, entrepreneurs can innovate on both sides. In European union, one side of innovation has been effectively banned.

Ok. So Square merchants can accept Bitcoin payments by default. They get paid fiat if they don't want to deal with Bitcoin (default on) or keep the Bitcoin (if they opt in). This adds four million Bitcoin accepting merchants.

When will this happen in European union? Never, because of MiCA. But EU has an innovation compass!

Her and Kwasi were the last chance for the UK.
