As I'm learning about Bitcoin Lightning, I'm seeing some major red flags. To use it, you need an account with a service provider. It's a username/password type of custodial account. Then, the node has full control over your funds. They could shut down without warning, or transfer your funds. The only way to actually have control is to run your own node, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of Lightning? The whole point is to allow many users to transfer tiny amounts of money a lot, eg zaps. To me, it seems that Lightning nodes have all the problems of Mastodon. Imagine the problems of Mastodon, except it's your bank account. That's bad. What am I missing?

why is there something rather than nothing?

Baby beer 🍺

Or we'll quietly climb until they come back and try to lever into a dip

The normies are forgetting about #Bitcoin again ...

Unpopular opinion: I like nostr specifically because it’s not mainstream.

Plovdiv!

TIL The Beef Initiative is here and they post a lot. Weird that I’ve never seen anyone repost their content before. nostr:note169fp9pcnlsf4pqyls049e4jvrphvwqgmrefvscfsg3hwfqqnkm8sysu392

hodl, I bought one of those industrial grade french fry presses you recommended. 10/10

That's been going on for 20 years already.

Opened Nostr in hopes to see some edgy content.

Extremely disappointed.

Did you know that jury nullification is illegal in some states? For example: “A member of a California trial jury does not have the right to refuse to apply a law which he or she believes should not be applied in a particular case, an act commonly referred to as

"jury nullification."”

A juror in California may face criminal charges if they practice jury nullification.

I jus did a little.

3 things.

1. I would have him skinned and put him on a pike.

2. Swan is now a liability and an attack vector for the pedosphere.

3. All swan folk suss for not effect ng pikes.

When their goal, specifically, is to spread awareness and adoption of Bitcoin, that is one of the best capital allocations they can make. People listen to podcasts about Bitcoin and podcasters need to make money.

Generally seeing this trend but what inspired the post?
