I've just found out nostr:npub18m4nmc2wchzgcmzvnluqjzxyrpshp64mwje2vuz60kulny3v6c0qtgcl2x is on Nubank's board. Onboarding 90M+ Latin Americans to Lightspark's UMA would be neat! 👌
Nubank's remittances offering is weak, they already sell bitcoin via Paxos, and Revolut is investing heavily in Brazil 🇧🇷, so the pieces are falling into place! 🤞
What if we recycled the dollar sign as the sats symbol? ♻️
#Bitcoin will replace fiat currencies, leaving $ up for grabs.
No need to buy new keyboards.
But $ represents the opposite of our values. Wouldn't it be more symbolic to trash both fiat and $? 🗑️
the lack of a sats symbol is certainly not the largest problem around, but it's one of them. we can fix them all. rest assured that this is not distracting the team from the most pressing issues (force closes included)
it was an honor to host this panel at Satsconf featuring nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg , nostr:npub19kv88vjm7tw6v9qksn2y6h4hdt6e79nh3zjcud36k9n3lmlwsleqwte2qd and Nickolas!
timely convo on custodial vs self-custodial wallets/solutions:
Many sats symbol ideas faded in and out throughout the years, none reaching full consensus. In this post, we'll go on an archeological journey to uncover most past symbol ideas: https://blog.bitkit.to/the-quest-for-the-ultimate-sats-symbol-a-post-mortem-ba7d6c56a513
We have a surprise announcement! 🎁
For #Bitcoin to be adopted globally, it needs to be as user-friendly as possible — even when it comes to seemingly minor details.
And there's one detail we've been missing for years: a unique and recognizable symbol for sats.
Reaching consensus on a new symbol is hard, but it's worth the effort.
A sats symbol has the potential to transcend language barriers, akin to $, ¥, €, or £.
So we decided to embark on this quest.

that does seem like the most likely outcome, yeah
it's fascinating to watch the growing awareness of the "zero interest rate phenomenon". i hear about it in every non-#bitcoin tech circle nowadays
now that the concept of malinvestments is mainstream, i wonder how close people are to grasping what fixes this... ⏳
interesting! curious to learn more
regulated exchanges have an easier time implementing Lightning withdrawals than deposits because sender privacy is pristine, unlike receiver privacy.
i wonder if blinded paths/bolt12 will make it harder for exchanges to integrate Lightning withdrawals 🤔
awesome to see nostr:npub18m4nmc2wchzgcmzvnluqjzxyrpshp64mwje2vuz60kulny3v6c0qtgcl2x's Lightspark contributing back to the community
it'd be easier for them to stay in their lane after the backlash they've received, glad they didn't
hope their fresh perspective will be valuable 🤞
congrats to the brazilian Hashdex team 🇧🇷 for making it into the selected 11 and all, but seriously... $DEFI gotta be the worst possible ticker for a BTC ETF. DeFi is the antithesis of everything #bitcoin stands for.

watching a random iPhone 15 vid, and the top comment advocates for violence as a fix to a small problem

How low is the willingness to pay of FOSS enthusiasts?
