- Germany did, but other countries not really

- With bad energy comes bad economy, true

- Well, that is a bit of a stretch aint it?

- Mweh, why?

- True, this is an issue

- True, this needs to get better

- The only one pushing for WWIII is are the imperialistic states of Russia and US. We will see a mindset shift in EU (already ongoing).

For years, Bitcoiners pushed exchanges to adopt Lightning.

And guess what? It worked. Public Lightning volume is up 266% in about a year.

A few interesting insights from our new nostr:nprofile1qqsrtv3u6qkj6a09tnhr3l0wy67g9uw3t57ftqyqpvztpk3wmd6306s92qxwz report:

Our previous Lightning research in 2023 showed a 1212% increase in transactions.

Many of these were low value, as people experimented with new apps & business models.

Now, a new wave of bigger volume has come in, driven by exchanges.

We used the same methodology for our estimates as in 2023, but instead of having data on 52% of public capacity, we now got up to 79.4%

The Lightning industry continues to grow

We’ve updated our map, adding 46 new companies and removing 12.

We expect Lightning to continue growing:

- On-chain fees remain low, slowing adoption.

- USDT on Lightning may increase activity.

- Dozens of scaling proposals continue to build on Lightning.

Bitcoin going to zero has about the same probability as fiat that is increasing in purchasing power.

Why? What is the difference when taking care for your family?

Thanks! Good for you on this move! I’ve been drinking way less than I used to. Haven’t completely cut it out though but would love to read how you feel after some months.

GM, life is beautiful.

GM! Most overestimate the risk of change and underestimate the risk of not changing.
