There's a bright orange haze on the meadow,

There's a bright orange haze on the meadow,

The 🌽 is as high as an elephants eye,

An' it looks like it's climbing clear up in the sky.

Oh, what a beautiful mornin',

Oh, what a beautiful day.

I got a beautiful feelin'

Ev'erything's goin' my way.

increasing the block size might actually be the centralization.

so, what happens when you want to receive 200k sats but you only have a 100k sat channel open?

or you installed the new, empty wallet and you want to receive 100k sats via lightning?

Metaplanet Makes Bitcoin a Reserve Asset As Japan’s Debt Mountain Grows. The announcement comes as the yen, one of the top five global reserve currencies, bears the brunt of Japan's fiscal imprudence.

It is not about based vs woke.

It is about independent vs subservient.

Think for yourselves. Pursue truth. Build your life as though society and supply chains could be disrupted for several months.

It doesn’t mean being a prepper. It means understanding what your life relies on for a moderate amount of time, and thinking for yourself.

i dont understand. have you actually used the wallets and sent and received money? or just installed the wallets?

do you think channel management, paying for channel liquidity and not being able to receive money because your channel size is not big enough or you can not get a path with enough liquidity is something a normal user wants to be bothered with?

Bitcoin fees are currently only a dollar, but niche programmers are suggesting to change the fundamental nature of bitcoin and increase its attack surface to make it more scalable… for people who don’t necessarily know or understand the trade offs of that scaling.

Scaling is an important discussion, but everything is a trade off. I like many of the scaling discussions, but rushing them is another matter.

It costs me $100 to buy a 1oz gold coin by mail, or to send signed documents internationally in a few days. Verification is expensive.

The idea that global monetary verification should be super cheap inherently comes with security trade offs.

All ideas should be evaluated carefully and come to major consensus. Otherwise change proposers risk a fork war.

"What do you do for a living?"

"Whatever it takes."

so what was your experience, can a normie use them?

The usability is still a pain in the ass after 7 years. Only a few nerds want to manage their channels in order to be able to buy a coffee. Normal people can and will not.

Have you used a selfhosted lightning wallet?

High fees mean most people need to use third party solutions which will get KYC and surveilance requirements sooner or later.

So what exactly did we win? We are creating our own surveilance and control machine operated by entities abiding any rules a government sets up.

In El Salvador, almost everybody is using custodial lightning wallets. They log every transaction. Where is the difference to a bank or paypal?
