can you really imagine mobile LN take off without some kind of solution for buffering payments with quasi-custodial solutions?
your data on the internet should be free (not as in "free beer"). no single entity should be able to leverage your data to have an advantage for their closed garden AIs
bitcoin AND nostr couldn't be more critical for the future of humanity and the internet
more then that, you should be PAID for your data. whether if it is as a model to monetize free-for-users nostr relays (paid for by selling batch access for competing AI models), or serving your notes for a fee from your home hosted node
the opposite. getting *eventually* cleared for 1 sat/byte had been the reality for the last 1 years. it might be coming to an end as we speak
i used to broadcast things not caring if they take a few weeks or even months, but it seems like the demand for blockspace remain constant forever from now on. just think of all the gigamegs of BRC-20 consolidations that are waiting in the mempool as we speak
what makes it a non-bitcoin? i see only bitcoin here
net net ordinals is a very positive phenomena
having placeholders for blockspace and a significant fees baseload, outside of periods of retail frenzy, motivates efficient use of blockspace and more developments of off-chain solutions, hopefully with covenants based structures in the future
we're still witnessing too many naive 0.00268017 BTC txns that are unsustainable in the long run and the users who make them better learn about alternatives sooner then later. better forget about the eventual 1 sat/byte now, before it's too late
there is no doubt that the highest value activities will eventually win the bid for blockspace. as long as there are enough degenerates willing to burn BTC on bullshit, might as well adapt to it and evolve ASAP
meanwhile a "security budget" is actually forming way before it is needed, when block subsidy diminishes. the "no one will use bitcoin" FUDsters turn into "bitcoin is too expensive" FUDsters in real-time
is this an iphone feature?
the best thing about running your own LNURL instance is that you're not even keeping the spam message. it's just dropped as is
aren't they suppose to test all apps?
actual criminals move tether through binance
WoS is way below the visibility of the state currently
I though the app store was supposed to protect you
what if bitcoin is not private enough for thieves but is private enough against the state wanting to cuck everyone together?
yet you can keep dormant UTXOs for a long time without worrying about it. it all depends on what your main uses are with the money that you get
most people who get paid in bitcoin need to send it to an exchange or a dealer to get fiat anyway and can direct different UTXOs to different destinations
mixing everything you get right away is too wasteful and most people will not know how to not link their funds again after the mix
it's not as trivial as "just mix everything"
learn some eastern modern history. shit is wild

what if you don't care about the linkability of this specific group of utxos you own?
wdym?
mixing is mostly pointless after LN
the Swan/FinCEN issue shouldn't matter in the long run
if you plan on ever selling your BTC back into bank money, mixing dormant UTXOs is pointless anyway
get your fiat bitcoin on swan and just keep it as is, and get your LN/el-salvador/silk-road BTC from different sources
in general, it's a good practice to get your bitcoin for different uses from different sources, and keep them in separated wallets
Americans should embrace more p2p cash-for-bitcoin transactions. this is pretty much how most of the world is already doing bitcoin
if the paper trail is so important for you, an ETF is as good as anything else
