I have changed my opinion on this topic every few years, but at the moment I believe banking and bitcoin cannot be reconciled and will remain separate networks until one of them dies. There will be synthetic bitcoin on the banking side and synthetic dollars on the bitcoin side.

Nodes are a bit like pets, they need constant attention and love. As fees are remaining high, please take extra care of your node, it might have lost sync to chain or simply wants to be rebooted from time to time.

Great #Lightning meetup in Vancouver tonight. I feel so privileged we can host it at a merchant that takes sats, and yet it should be the norm

Midweek BBQ, putting my sauce to good use with these 4h slow cooked beef ribs. #foodstr

Cool let me try that out

Another day, another #Bitcoin party in Vancouver. Come this Saturday for quality DJs and drinks! We’ll also accept payments over Bolt cards for the first time, so if you have one, bring it and we can help you set it up! https://www.meetup.com/btc_vancity/events/296818047/

Thanks to BTCPay, zaps should finally show up in my posts, without having to use a custodial wallet! Love it!

Not that close. My smart watch has to get about 10-20cm near your bracelet.

How to protect attendees from somebody with a smart watch taking all the funds?

TIL Charlie Chaplin was English and forced to leave the United States in 1952 and barred from re-entry as a suspected communist. He died in Switzerland 25 years later.

Got myself a new laptop, of course paid with sats! Even I’m surprised at the smooth Bitpay experience. Lightning’s success appears pretty inevitable once you start using it

That’s the web PoS with a funky css skin

I got mine from here: https://shop.lnbits.com/product/android-point-of-sale-device

Another day in Vancouver, another new merchant accepting #Lightning payments. Go to Mahony’s Tavern at the Convention Centre!

That’s BTCPay!

I paid £200 here: https://shop.lnbits.com/product/android-point-of-sale-device

A specialized device to accept Lighting payments!

Very excited about my latest toy! Possibly the first Bitcoinize machine in Canada?
