It’s not possible. It’s just a newer version of fiat. Near instant settlement will be available to anyone. There is no need for a federal reserve settled claim on Bitcoin. This was already done with gold and ultimately why gold failed. It’s patently absurd.

Sorry, I was referring to your relay.

Still seems to be offline.

I can’t get over how dumb a ā€œBitcoin backed dollarā€ is.

Become ungovernable.

Mouth is watering. #foodstr

I remain convicted in my belief that there is not enough Bitcoin for sale for the institutions right now. People are trying to gain price exposure by buying mining companies, MSTR, and other Bitcoin adjacent ā€œderivativesā€. I think any marginal buyer of any substance is leading to crazy, bid up buying, and they are trying to figure out how to navigate the current market dynamics. TLDR; gon get nutty.

Well, that sucks, for us. Best of luck in the new endeavors.

There are few things better than getting together with bitcoiners who are working to make everything work. Last week at nostr:npub1theparkprcs70dcs437ke9zzwsr6u60f8flu7rg28m30438aep9sd94dha for the Lightning Summit was something special.

Lightning has a ways to go, but there is a ton of progress being made.

If anything, the summit reinforced the reality scaling bitcoin is hard. Very hard. Luckily for us, there are extremely smart people focused on the problem and shipping solutions that are bringing the network to more and more people every day.

The question that remains is just how sovereign the network will be when all is said and done. Things are pretty centralized right now, but it is getting easier to be a sovereign lightning user over time. The hope is that we can get the UX around sovereign usage to the point of parity with every day fintech apps before the fee market prices sovereign users out.

Great read. I’m constantly blown away how far lightning has come just in the last two years. Thank you for being a part of the build out.
