Sorry for the delay! I’m not checking Nostr as frequently as I should. That’s really strange - is this issue persisting even now? We did push some updates to the wallet connect functionality so I’m wondering if this is now resolved for you?

Late posting this, but I really enjoyed chatting Bitcoin payments with Flash Founder Pierre Corbin! ⚡️ Love what they’re building 👇

Hey Joe great question and the short answer is that yes there are a number of projects building bridges from EVM (what I’m sure Revolut already supports) to Bitcoin/Lightning. So our vision for Joltz would be to integrate that into the wallet. Still a few things to figure out and our first priority is swaps between sats and USDT / other assets natively on Bitcoin but I’m hoping that type of interoperability youre describing would be possible with bridges shortly thereafter.

Holy shit: where did you get the hoodie you’re wearing in this video!? https://youtu.be/fympoUHx2b8?si=xyaVFTlHI0-0lqKl

I’ve been looking for a subtle bitcoin hoodie and the sats symbol is perfect. I want one.

Haha unfortunately they’re no longer around. It was an Australian-based Bitcoin clothing brand called Mr. Satoshi

Dude: NICE. You are the first person (I’m sure there must be others though) who posted their npub on their youtube video. I looked you up. FOLLOWED!

I’m very interested in getting lightning addresses set up on my own nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll node. I’m using nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm right now (Alby Hub) and it is spectacular. I’ve got wallets set up for my family (something I’ve been wanting to do for two years and kept hitting dead ends, I’m not a programmer). Now I need LN Addresses for everyone. More videos on this for a simpleton would be much appreciated. Thanks for the educational content.

Love it - thanks for the follow! I saw Alby responded but definitely good ideas here for future videos 🫡

Latest video was a bit of a banger if I do say so myself 🫡

Is The Lightning Network Doomed?

So many self-custodial Lightning doomers in particular... Lots of cope coming when we release what we’ve been cooking up at Joltz

⛏️Is it time to be concerned about Bitcoin mining pool centralization?

I sat down recently with nostr:nprofile1qqsxc2v48w0u8cxejmxsrjtw9x3htng6lcwzyyw035lh5c627f6guxqnlmhrl from nostr:nprofile1qqspyv0e2w2tdc4llqn774sw9c5vx9tsuyvsxr2f6ard0qf0nq20fvsk5k9nu to discuss 👇

Why USDT Coming To Lightning Is A Big Deal 👇

https://youtu.be/6CPb3hQEolk

Big news today!! Tether announces USDT will be returning to Bitcoin as a Taproot Asset.

Next step: make it usable and accessible for all 🫡

The good news is that better self-custodial UX is coming. At Joltz we’re making novel use of Musig2 to create a Muun-like experience for users that can also scale well during periods of high fees 🫡

“TRUST IN 3RD PARTIES BAD!”

“WOOO CASHU IS THE GREATEST”

What am I missing here? I get that Cashu is great for privacy and has nice UX (and I get the nuance around bearer tokens), but why are we championing it so hard without (at least from what I’ve seen) talking about the obvious trade-off?

Genuine question. More payments solutions on Bitcoin is ultimately a good thing to give users more choice but just seems to be some cognitive dissonance on this one.

Pumped to be speaking this week at Plan B in El Salvador! Anyone else going to be there?

GM, here is what's going to happen:

(1) Global merchant acceptance of stablecoins.

--> 2-3% immediately back to their bottom-line while preserving their need to denominate value in their preferred unit of account (for the time being).

(2) Smart merchants invest that 2-3% cost saving to establish a BTC treasury.

(3) Other chains fail to adequately scale payments to a global level. Extinction-level cope event as everyone realizes with horror that payment channels were right all along.

(4) All stablecoin payment activity migrates to the Lightning Network via Taproot Assets. No bridges, no sidechains, no fake "L2s", just native Bitcoin.

(5) A covenants upgrade goes live on Bitcoin mainnet. Channel factories and various other approaches like what we're building at Joltz scale self-custodial usage of the Lightning Network. Cope levels are now unbearable. Broader crypto community rage-quits hit all-time high.

(6) By now, those smart merchants are reaping the benefits of their decision and as a result are systematically destroying their less smart competitors in the marketplace.

(7) Survival of the fittest prevails; merchants become increasingly averse to accepting fiat units of account for payment, and this progresses until BTC is the only accepted payment method.

(8) Hyperbitcoinization. Humanity experiences unprecedented flourishing.

The end.

As a Bitcoin startup founder, some days are euphoric and you think it’s all going to come together. Other days it feels like it’s all going to fall apart.

Either way, keep building…

Painfully true. We wade through the muck of regulatory uncertainty at Joltz every day. There is so much gray area with Lightning in particular and that only increases with Taproot Assets. The show must go on, but I do hope we see more clarity soon.
