Idk if people are ready for this, but I believe the world is. First tests of USD Ecash. Backed by BTC.
Everyone can run a mint. Everyone can make a wallet. USD can be spent everywhere BTC is accepted. Open protocols all the way down. No gatekeepers. This is only possible because of the permissionless nature of Bitcoin.
You'll zap USD on Nostr and you'll be happy. It's going to be so insane.

naw I won't be there my next bitcoin only conference is at prague
I just published a new book, this one is specifically on Lightning network. From basic use-cases to explanation of how it works, and a few things that I see coming in the future (or hope for).
The Orange Flash of Freedom: Understanding and using the Bitcoin Lightning network
Bitcoin has created digital gold - empowering many people to freely transact using a non-inflationary, non-manipulable hard form of money. The Lightning network builds upon this innovation, offering a fast, scalable payment network, that can be used to instantly send and receive money over the internet. It is a basic protocol of the internet, similar to e-mail for communication, or web for accessing information or apps. Lightning network can be as complex as you need it to be. Installing and using a current generation bitcoin wallet that supports lightning can be learned in under three minutes. This book gives you an overview of various wallets, the inner working of lightning, bitcoin fees, and proposals to make Lightning scale and be an interoperable payment protocol, even beyond Bitcoin blockchain.
Whether you are a beginner or an advanced user, you'll discover that installing and using a modern Bitcoin wallet with Lightning support can be mastered in just a few minutes.

(Amazon is better for paperbacks outside of EU, possibly even within EU. But you can pay with Lightning on my web)
I will order this down the road
I miss you too
take self custody of your money with self custody, run your node, and make sure to write down those damne 12 or 24 words
I will disagree because if you own the private keys it's your bitcoin, but yes if you can run a node you should to verify your own transactions period.
Personality matters but if you look like an assclown then looks will matter more lol
yes I have
