I wear a bitcoin hat & shirt.
It only catches the the attention of a few each month.
Typical response:
When ppl ask about the hat and why I wear it, I say, you wear a hat / shirt promoting said sport team or outdoor apparel company. my bitcoin hat promotes peace and unity for all.
And only once in a blue while, is someone interested in bitcoin
What does this mean, we’re early.

Oh shit, now that’s funny af
For years, Bitcoiners pushed exchanges to adopt Lightning.
And guess what? It worked. Public Lightning volume is up 266% in about a year.
A few interesting insights from our new nostr:nprofile1qqsrtv3u6qkj6a09tnhr3l0wy67g9uw3t57ftqyqpvztpk3wmd6306s92qxwz report:
Our previous Lightning research in 2023 showed a 1212% increase in transactions.
Many of these were low value, as people experimented with new apps & business models.
Now, a new wave of bigger volume has come in, driven by exchanges.
We used the same methodology for our estimates as in 2023, but instead of having data on 52% of public capacity, we now got up to 79.4%

The Lightning industry continues to grow
We’ve updated our map, adding 46 new companies and removing 12.
We expect Lightning to continue growing:
- On-chain fees remain low, slowing adoption.
- USDT on Lightning may increase activity.
- Dozens of scaling proposals continue to build on Lightning.

Is liquid the only non KYC app that integrates USDT, Lightning, and bitcoin?
