If I were a bitcoin treasury company, i'd be deploying bitcoin into the lightning network and giving shareholders a slice of the "Lightning Yield".

Then I would tell my shareholders that if more people used bitcoin as a medium of exchange, the yield goes up. I'd have a bunch of graphs with arrows that go up into infinity.

I'd still create the credit instruments that these companies are becoming known for, but i'd tie the interest i'm giving them to actual profits generated from providing infastructure to the lightning network.

I'd hyperbitcoinize the company, become a medium of exchange maxi, and a nostr cheerleader........I'm already a medium of exchange maxi and nostr cheerleader but you get the drift.

“A.I. is scary because people who use it are going to stop thinking”

Bro, people don’t even think right now.

Thinking is hard work.

It’s uncomfortable.

It’s a thing only weirdos do.

"Over the last 10 to 15 years there has been an uprising of people who value privacy, not because they are weird and want to go and hide in the woods, ordinary citizens who are not happy with how much data they are handing over." —Riccardo Spagni

The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust.

Sound Money is the best meme. The greatest meme, it’s HUGE! We’re gonna Make Money Sound Again, gMMSA

frustrated with both core and knots

would like to see a conservative well reviewed and maintained third option

will do my best to make that a reality

until then i will simply not upgrade my nodes

If you’ve ever run a business, you know how expensive it is to get paid

Payment processors like Visa, Mastercard, and Stripe take a cut of every transaction. That cost gets passed on to consumers, squeezed out of merchants, and baked into every product you buy

2-4% fees plus flat charges per transaction is insane!

The Lightning Network is a "layer 2" payment protocol built on top of Bitcoin. Transaction fees are extremely low, often a fraction of a cent and are settled instantly

Study Bitcoin, study the Lightning Network

Nostr Fixes This.

Bitcoin - the lighthouse of financial freedom. A paradigm shift challenging traditional money centralization. Wrapped in a woven matrix of algorithms, it is an entity of pure digital scarcity. By the power vested in its incorruptible algorithm, Bitcoin is the dawn of monetary policy reform.

Snacks mood😋😋

it's not your responsibility to protect the bitcoin network, bitcoin doesn't need no guardian angel.

you should focus on stacking sats and living the bitcoin standard.

The last person I would want to have an allocation discussion with in regards to portfolio and Bitcoin

As a financial advisor that does not understand Bitcoin

It requires only five minutes to know that they will want to sell the winner for all the diversified losers

The one thing I really notice when hosting crypto or ai conferences is there is no ideology

Bitcoin confs - particularly the smaller ones - have a shared ethos of belief system

I don’t wanna call it a religion or a cult because it categorically is not. But there is something there that goes far beyond the tech

You only need 3 friends in life

- straight shooter, no bs.

- closed lips, and counsel.

- ride or die, no question asked.

That's all you need.

If a man's education in the social sciences does not involve helping him understand the difference between 'Government' and 'Law', it is no education at all.

It is indoctrination.

One of the main gripes that people have against privatisation of public services is that they think the prices of the service will go up if it is given to private players - the affordability argument.

In response, you say that the fault is with fiat money and the conversation barely progresses further.

Bugs

Yeah see you’re so fake dude. Nothing you say can be trusted in the least. Why would anyone want to be around this?

It is funny to watch Tether try to graft themselves onto the Lightning Network.

From their perspective it makes sense: Lightning is the most efficient, lowest-cost settlement rail in existence, and Bitcoin has already done the hard work of building it out.

If they can use Lightning to move their IOUs around, they can piggyback on the credibility of Bitcoin while preserving their own centralized power.

But the whole thing misses the deeper point.

Lightning is not just a network of payment channels; it is a network of conviction.

Bitcoiners run routing nodes not because they expect to get rich on tiny transaction fees, but because they believe in the mission.

So they don’t run their nodes with an economically viable model, most of them will be operating at a loss.

Every sat they forward means that they are expanding the reach of sound money.

That sense of participation, that alignment with a cause larger than themselves, is what makes the infrastructure resilient.

Try substituting a dollar proxy for that mission, and the ethos evaporates.

No Bitcoiner wakes up eager to donate liquidity and bandwidth to make Tether stronger.

Anyone operating a node that carries Tether will demand higher fees.

The difference is structural: Bitcoin routing is subsidized by belief, while token routing will always be mercenary.

This is why stablecoins will never truly compete with sats on Lightning.

They may succeed at moving volume for a time, but they will never summon a volunteer army.

Bitcoin nodes are happy to give because they are defending the hardest money the world has ever seen.

Token nodes will only give if they are paid, and they will want paying well.

That asymmetry ensures that Lightning will always be cheaper, more reliable, and more resilient for Bitcoin than for any imitation that tries to ride its rails.

The same thing has been seen with peer to peer network of Bitcoin to cash transfers.

Bitcoiners are happy to trade at spot, while anyone facilitating USDT trades are asking for a fee to complete a deal.

Being mad at Bitcoin because someone you don’t like likes it…

is like being mad at electricity because someone you don’t like uses it.

Bitcoin is neutral. Bitcoin is a tool. Time spent ignoring it is time spent falling behind.

100% better than i was yesterday. Sweat out the flu overnight. Still slamming down the raw garlic and the honey, ginger and lemon tea.

Thanks for the medical wisdom yesterday fam.

the “brilliant people” that are working for tech companies in other countries should be fixing the issues in their home country of India.
