They're not the same, but that's the point.
I have a problem where I want to buy things with great label art but they're always sours or IPAs 🤢
Myself included honestly. I thought people saying vaccines caused autism were idiots. And then it was like "... Wait.... Your supposed to test these things. Wait that's not even normal vaccine method... Hmmm.... Sum'in fishy here 🧐"
And just like that I went from a HealthcareHero™️ to healthcare hoe.
Honestly if it hadn't been for overstepping with covid you'd see even less than you do now. But they broke their own rules of pretending to test things with covid and couldn't hide it
We are lead to believe at an early age that these diseases would otherwise kill people in mass numbers. It gets ground in. Then if you're in science they add another layer of that. Then if you work in healthcare they double down again. By the time you get there it's assumed to a level like the requirement to breathe air.
One of few classic sci-fi movies that deserves to be remade so the visuals can catch up to the story.
Does this nullify charges against TC devs?
Good news for Tornado Cash case.
So that people don't forget about them or the case. Most of the bitcoin space is busy simping for daddy saylor, meanwhile developers are under house arrest waiting for a trial that may determine how the most influential judicial system treats bitcoin, privacy and code development.
Lolwut. What are you talking about begging? Also Ross is out now so even though it took way too long it did eventually work. What would you have people do instead?
Nice try fed
If they were that big they totally would. I've watched them chase squirrels.
That sounds good but what do you actually mean by it? Im not just being contrarian. In an ideal scenario for you, are you paid in bitcoin and paying for everything in bitcoin? Or are you using Bitcoin for privacy and censorship resistance specifically? The answers to those questions determine the way you approach it and therefore the outcomes that you get.
Conversely if people keep using these things in permissioned, custodial, registered ways and then get rugged or reported they're worse than if they'd used cash.
Instead of fixing issues at the protocol or even app layer, "solution as a service" gets promoted and then people give up trying to fix the original issue. Influencers and service providers use the social layer to promote their products and say people who are critical arent trying, which is disingenuous.
I don't care about having Saylor or the general public validating my choice to acquire and use Bitcoin. I care that it works when I need it.

That dude that claimed the bounty has not worked on figuring it out and trying it. He’s just fortunate that Strike exists and made it easy. FYI I routinely send and receive payments larger than that over lightning in a non-custodial way. It works well and gives me quite a few unique benefits. Not saying that as a flex, but trying to offer a data point rather than an assumption. 😃
Yes and there are several merchants in the comments here (even more important for them) who run into payments failing to go through. When you're a merchant, a failed payment will lose you customers. I'm not just blowing smoke. I wish it worked better. If you want proof that I made the effort and have been there since ye olden days: 
Why is "maximizing adoption" the goal? Good ux without sacrificing privacy and sovereignty should be the goal. If 80% of normies are never gonna use it correctly anyway, why are we chasing them down and making sacrifices to get them to use it poorly? When the goal is popularity you will get this kind of product.
There are bitcoin apps you can download and "just use" without sacrificing sovereignty if you use onchain, even without your own node (though it's better with). Fees are low. There's little need for lightning. I don't outright hate lightning, but it has yet to deliver what it was advertised as and it's almost 10 years old.
Also Mary had other kids, she didn't stay a virgin.
