Going to put out an update to my #GetOnZero article soon laying out the changes to my workflow and the reasons I've opted to make them.
This was Fold which was the service I was using before in service of being #OnZeroFiat, but I've now switched entirely to Strike.
Well, not entirely, my direct deposits won't be rerouted to Strike until my next paycheck in 2 weeks.
Time to come clean.
I've just realized I've been lying about having no fiat...
He almost looks like he ate a bee.
Interesting. We must operate in different circles as I have seen little hostility towards L2s as a general concept.
Of course there are tradeoffs, but in the end every tool has an optimal usecase and tradeoffs of its own.
Obviously, base Bitcoin is not yet suited to completely replace all other payment networks (and likely will never be), but it does function as the most secure and resilient base for value transfer that we have ever known.
L2s simply expand on this base to provide new and novel value transfer solutions in areas where L1 is cost prohibitive.
Love them, and view them as incredibly valuable tools.
From the perspective of utxo management, they're great as they offer us non-exchange mediums where we can build small stacks of sats until they reach a responsible size for a utxo.
They also allow for cheaper and faster transfer of value, which is made visibly useful in use-cases such as zapping on nostr, or streaming sats on podcasting 2.0 apps.
The average Bitcoiners workflow would never be complete without redundant and secure L1 solutions, but L2s add further capability and reach to the Bitcoin ecosystem, and allow new entrants and users in developing countries easier and more cost effective methods of starting out in Bitcoin.

Mine are on and off. I think they count.
Oooh. Dorado is salty.
Don't worry Dorado, you're the official Dog-Mayor of Bitcoin.
I'm sorry, but no one will ever be able to make a more legendary note on nostr.
Immediately after being orange-pilled I felt the intense need to tell everyone around me of my newfound hope.
A year later, with the price down 40%, I realized people only saw me as a crazy person, and that I would do better to just stack quietly and let the eventual fiat price increase do the work for me.
I let people know that I'm their guy if they ever have questions on Bitcoin, but have yet to have anyone take me up on that offer.
I feel this on a spiritual level.
There's a reason those around me consider me quiet. They simply aren't ready for my intensity and passion.
