Yeah, although lump-sum depends somewhat on your luck to time the market if you make regular big lump sums, it makes sens that it performs better, since you continually buy big portions of dips vs small portions of everything.

Here's a calculator I made a while ago for a guy who's trying to start a loan business, making the lump-sum > DCA argument. faucet21.com

I'd buy the dip, but my employer neglected to pay me on time again. Fuuuuck.

So many people whining about #lightning.

"It's unreliable"

"It's difficult"

"Channel force closures are a pain"

etc.

Yes, it's a pain to run a lightning node, especially a routing node.

It takes time, effort and money, and has a negative ROI.

But freedom isn't free. Someone has to make sacrifices for the freedom enjoyed by others.

And at the moment, routing node operators are taking that hit.

It's because we believe in the privacy and freedom that lightning provides that we invest our energy into something that doesn't return any profit.

Only companies like #Zeus are currently able to make a profit from lightning, and that's because they have a business model that adds additional value for users.

But even they can't operate without the thousands of other routing nodes making a loss.

Perhaps someday this will change, but honestly I don't care.

IMHO lightning is still the best payment network out there.

It's completely decentralized, private, scalable and fast.

The small investment it requires to keep it running is worth it, as the alternatives are all centralized and less private.

Turns out you can do pretty much whatever you want against unarmed citizens.

Maybe you need a Monero.

"If Bitcoin diverted all of their energy to make itself private and became known as a network of complete and utter privacy, it probably is counterproductive to its own interests, because you don't want the United States government to say Bitcoin is completely private [...]

There's no way you're going to get 100 trillion dollars to flow into Bitcoin if its use case is directly against the interest of a government that it's within, right, so ... you don't want to be that good."

It's a bit simplistic to say A is better than B, because of X, while ignoring Y.

More concretely, Bitcoin has a supply cap, and Monero doesn't, which gives it more value IMHO.

Monero's USP is privacy, which gives it great utility, but it will never be a SOV.

Refugees and gay group sex are the core value of the #Olympics. And if you don't agree, you're a racist bigot. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Having a refugee team at the #Olympics is just peak propaganda. Lol
