Spent a whole night not talking about Bitcoin! Even scanned the QR code at the bar, which ironically didn’t work. Normie night!
If an event requires a credit card to participate, it’s by definition not a #Bitcoin event, no matter what the organizers say
The idea of a Lightning node as a symbol of social status is a fascinating one to explore
As Bitcoiners I believe we have the obligation to advance Bitcoin. We can do that by teaching, coding, mining, evangelizing, running a business, through art, reporting bugs, moderating chat groups, updating directories; but at the very least, we can do that by using Bitcoin. Every day.
Very cool to see the bar at the Vancouver Bitcoin meetup going #Lightning only tonight. There’s even a Lightning ATM that converts spare change to sats!

Super cool picture showing the origins of Sham Shui Po's wide roads, which were first water channels in the 1920s, then market places in the 80s, before they were turned into wide and noisy roads. Imagine your city’s avenues become permanent buzzing markets

Order six pints at the pub and everything is fine, but order four coca cola and the server’s will give you a nickname

Discussing the Lightning Network with Bitcoin OGs tends to be far more tiring than with newbs. There’s definitely a lot inertia, people who spent years thinking about Bitcoin would rather not spend another few years thinking about Lightning, yet they still feel intellectually superior based on seniority.
Hash functions? Super dope, would invest. SHA in particular has a future, I’d say
It’s going to be early for a little while longer
