Thanks to Phoenix for an awesome wallet and for adding splicing! 
Ask and you shall receive. The market speaks.
A lot of people wanted to be able to buy #BrokenMoney using money that isn't broken, and I've been coordinating with Saifedean for the past month in preparation for his bookstore launch to make that possible upon launch.
On https://thesaifhouse.com/ you can now buy my book Broken Money in hardcover, ebook, or audiobook (pre-order) with fiat, on-chain bitcoin, or bitcoin over Lightning. You get a 10% discount for paying in bitcoin.
The hardcover version on his site is also a unique edition. Rather than a laminate cover, this one has a cloth cover and dust jacket, manufactured via the same supply chain that his new book Principles of Economics is.
Fantastic news! 🙌🔥
Really good reminder 🧡💜
Just owning any bitcoin at this point puts you waaaaay ahead of the game..
And yes, by owning I definitely mean holding your own keys 🔑
Bitcoin on exchanges are just IOUs that you hope will be honored one day.
Onward and upward ✨ nostr:note1w76flxavcady33tn2k0xherfpufkc8zzk82ce4aaj8jns7rck8tqtvkdwf

Yes happy to share feedback later.
I have actually been using Phoenix for a while already and loved it aside from the 3k channel open fee.
Never had any channel closure/force closures.
V2.0 has options in the settings to prevent any unexpected fees.. check out advanced options under Channel Management in Settings.
Also, in V2.0 you only have one channel now. It has splicing options, meaning liquidity can be increased on the fly (instead of needing a new channel open). Splicing would incur an on-chain miner fee.
Right but it was supposed to be 1000 sats in V2.0, which was why I was surprised it said 3k might be needed.
Anyway all good, happy to report I went ahead and yes, the channel open fee was 1000 and the miner fee was 761, so total to open a new channel was 1,761, about half what it used to be (tho of course will vary depending on miner fees)
V2.0 has way lower fees! I think it’s 1000 sats to open a channel.. and with splicing you only need the one channel.
If liquidity needs to be added then there’s the on-chain miners fee.. here’s info from Phoenix wallet

Oh interesting, I just went to receive in a new Phoenix wallet for the first time and the fee is almost 3k.. so I’m not sure now, will ask them over at twttr as I don’t believe they’re here yet :/

Phoenix 2.0 🤩 
Is anyone else having issues with nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq ??
Receiving zap notifications on Damus but no wallet transactions
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s
Been using Phoenix wallet.. they just updated to include splicing!
So fees way lower and you have just one channel that increases as needed, highly recommend!!
nostr:npub1dpna3xwwddnhhzg9ycpvlcz2ze0jdwm2rf3eqd2lf9leaewtq7tqhw0ef2 has an excellent pdf full of Bitcoin facts.
Thanks for the shoutout 🧡
I’d say if this guy is already diving in to The Bitcoin Standard he’s good 👌 My book was written for those who aren’t yet willing to take that deep dive, as a primer for those folks, and then they’d be ready for TBS :)
Of course it’s still a great idea (😊) to send him to my site to get the PDF, as it does simplify things and he can share it onward with those he might want to orange pill.

Easy to understand 😉🍁
