UNLICENSED MONEY TRANSMITTER

looks like this bitcoin thing is going places

bitcoin cost money to use

in return you get a perfectly finite supply asset, while population and productivity keeps growing - something that the economic world have no concept of

the deal is fair if you ask me

you need to understand something fundamental: LN wasn't created to save 1 sat/byte fees. using bitcoin is expensive and a ratio of it translates to the cost of using LN

transacting free on chain was a honeymoon period that will never come back

liquidity management and pricing are far from being optimized for lowest cost

they took care of a seamless experience at first

some people still try to sell the illusion that some real world assets are not liquid enough because they're not tokenized on a bLoCKcHaiN

exactly what I'm suggesting. the time value of the channel is the real service. you're paying for the option to work around needing blockspace. more capacity is more flexibility

the solution to the inbound capacity problem is simply to PAY for inbound capacity. off-chain mechanisms translate the cost of blockspace into the cost of provisioned capital. if you wanna save on L1 fees you'll have to pay for the workaround that lets you do that

this makes perfect sense for a strictly finite supply currency - you have to pay to have it served to you. if it's not credit, why would anybody else subsidise it for you?

because the money is finite, therefore each unit slowly gains more purchasing power, it makes sense to dedicate a percentage of it for the service - eventually the money pays for itself

no LSP frontend that I know of today (Phoenix, mutiny, breez, Zeus, etc...) is charging beyond setup fee, and so you cannot pay for a specific incoming capacity in advance, and it depends mostly on your first txn (which is weird as well) but I guess they all aim at the simplest ux at first

eventually future bitcoin users will understand that real bitcoin comes with a cost. the cost to transact on chain, and the cost to have the capacity to batch off-chain. freedom is not free

I hear through the grapevine that there's some kinda problem with boats and bitcoin or something 🤷‍♂️ Well I'm here to help! 😉

You guys have been awesome and I've only been here 1 day now. I've got a fairly big lnstagram presence. It's really hard to monetise though, so your Zaps took me kinda off guard.

I'm now wondering if there's any chance I could grow here and possibly be able to do what I've wanted for years and thats to convert this social media gig into a viable profession, whereby I can dedicate all my time and energy into producing awesome content promoting boating safety and thereby increased liklihood of key retention😉.
