great episode 🧡
Ok dann klar. In der Siebträger taugt 100 Prozent Arabica nur für die Filter Variante…
Magst du nicht? Also pur natürlich nicht, muss aber sagen, die Mischung macht in der Siebträger nen Welten besseren Espresso als reiner Arabica.
GM. I have new espresso beans at home. 60 percent Arabica, 40 percent Robusta. Great crema and flavor. From Joerges - Gorilla.
Unfortunately, they don't accept Lightning payments. Is there a coffee dealer that accepts Sats and ships to Germany?
I would appreciate any tips.
I dont agree. You can easily switch between mints. You can easily accept other users if you want to.
Always great to get some personal greetings from scott 🤣🤣🤣
these scammers…
fair enough from saylor to explain why we can have more than 200 companies buying bitcoin. anyway 20 min of this pod were hard to here but necessary to remind many of these shortsighted bitcoiners that keep complaining about treasurie companies getting hammered buying at the top at an mnav around 5 🤣
Can we 10x those numbers?
Agree, it is speculative. We are gonna see. Enjoyed the talk anyway! Always good to have different opinions talking about possible outcomes in the future without insulting each other ✌️
I can tell you that since they implemented it the volume on my routing node increased drastically. Why is the comparison unfair. Way more people holding bitcoin than monero and they gonna switch to lightning (with privacy features like ecash on top) than going to swap to monero to pay goods on the darknet.
No it didn’t explode with nostr. It exploded with privacy swapping and the implementation of lightning into a shitload of square pos terminals. A gazillion more point of sales than all those monero shops.
If you call a worldwide transaction volume of 0.002 percent not obsolete than ok. I doubt monero will ever go beyond dark markets and some specific shops. As of right now monero users are willing to spend there coins because of privacy functions or because they don’t believe in worldwide adoption is unknown.
Lightning Volume exploded in 2025, you can ask any noderunner on nostr.
Just because some shops have a higher monero volume doesn’t count the lightning volume for all the other txs.
At one point blinded paths for lightning gonna be implemented which increases the privacy even more.
Comparing to the broader world economy darknet market are an absolute niche. ~0.002 from global e commerce is a niche.
Why should those markets switch to lightning or ecash right now? monero is older and works darknet markets obviously well enough. bitcoin lightning not aming for darknet, its object is to dominate/penetrate global markets.
Lightning often doesn’t work properly is a myth. 99 percent of the time it works flawlessly. If you really need to transact bigger amounts regularly and want privacy you simply run your own node with private channels.
Yes the western civilization has those problems, but those people dealing with free speech problems more and more. And there is simply a ton of money. Do you think the most monero txs coming from non western countries? probably not.
You wont onramp the masses via p2p or hawala banking no way.
Not according to darknet markets which are the worlds largest p2p markets reliant on cryptocurrency.
Sorry oversaw your answer. I did not question moneros usage in darknet markets, use whatever you want. but if you already hold bitcoin which is a way bigger amount of people you can go lightning->ecash if you need full privacy for specific txs. you can also use lightning with private channels for day to day usage. monero plays a niche role which is ok. but its not easy to on and off ramp from fiat to gain that privacy and because of that more and more people getting onboarded via bitcoin and can get access to privacy txs via ln (+ecash). In the long run this makes monero obsolete imho. will it be a niche? possibly yes. but not for mass privacy adoption.
use whatever you want, i am ok with monero. its just 10x easier switching from sats to ecash without buying p2p or monero on a shady exchange.
