Idk if people are ready for this, but I believe the world is. First tests of USD Ecash. Backed by BTC.
Everyone can run a mint. Everyone can make a wallet. USD can be spent everywhere BTC is accepted. Open protocols all the way down. No gatekeepers. This is only possible because of the permissionless nature of Bitcoin.
You'll zap USD on Nostr and you'll be happy. It's going to be so insane.

Really cool - nice work. Is there more info anywhere on how the backing is achieved/maintained and what the trust assumptions are of said operations?
People got faked out this time with the ETF thinking this time would be different. But nope, same cycle as always: post-halving summer malaise with inefficient hashers slowly dying / going offline. Fireworks to start after all the dead debris is cleared later this year.
Very soon! Desktop should be this week and then mobile should follow shortly after

It definitely seems promising, but I admittedly need to spend more time deep-diving on it! Good idea for a future video.
I do think in general people underestimate the network effect and momentum that already exists with the Lightning Network so while anything is possible I suspect “supplant” is likely too strong even if Hedgehog proves technically superior, and it would be more likely to see some Hedgehog-like tech built in as a new BOLT eventually.

My mom watched me give up a high-paying corporate job to go all-in on Bitcoin. I made no income for a full 2 years. I could sense her motherly instincts screaming to tell me to quit, but she never said a word. Only encouragement. She believed.
Love you mom ❤️
