Yes they have issues but it sounds like they are addressing them. Worth a visit to see for myself.
Also have a listen to this episode of Rapid Fire Bitcoin

Nayib Bukele has just signed into law new Innovation and Technology Manufacturing Incentives Act.
El Salvador now has no tax on income, property, capital gains and import tariffs) on technology innovations, software and app programming, AI, computer and communications hardware manufacturing.
This and the upcoming Bitcoin City make this country very attractive indeed.

Custodial Lightning Service Tippin.me May Be Exit Scamming
Their support and telegram channel have going silent and users can’t withdraw their funds so this does not look good. It is a reminder of the dangers of using 3rd party custodians Tippin.me and Wallet of Satoshi. If you do use custodial services only keep a vary small amount of sats with them.
It will drive lightning adoption but it’s a pity most will use custodial LN wallets
Don’t worry, just reread the thread and you’ve already answered these
Makes sense #[2], like Substack also. Just an idea but like Substack it would help creators to promote the service if they can offer a free subscription. One of the other good things about Substack is the discoverability, have you any ideas how you could help creators be found?
A US Presidential candidate speaking at the Bitcoin 2023 conference in Miami has got to be good for bitcoin. I don't know what Robert F. Kennedy Jr policies are but he clearly supports bitcoin so I will be finding out what they are
Interesting, so this is a relay only content creators with a subscription can post to and only readers with another type of subscription can read?
Can you explain the different type of subscription? Is a follow a free subscription?
What Bitcoin Did - Escaping Hyperinflation in a Rolls Royce with Freddie New
In this podcast it was really interesting to learn about Freddie who is Head of Policy at Bitcoin Policy UK. I had heard of the Bitcoin Policy Institute in the US so it was great to hear we had something similar in the UK.
#[0] and Freddie discuss how his childhood experiences living in Zimbabwe and Syria shaped his understanding of Bitcoin’s unique properties. This childhood that was a bit different!
They also discuss his amazing efforts in setting up Bitcoin Policy UK, a new and much needed advocacy group promoting Bitcoin to policymakers and the wider public in the United Kingdom.
True and not just the setup, the ongoing management of a LN node is a pain but it is getting better
True but I am finding I can use lightning more and more now. High fees were inevitable but Ordinals made it happen sooner
A busy network is a healthy network

Bitcoin mining has faced difficulty with regulations at the state and local level before. Montana is among the first states to provide legal protection for bitcoin mining and hopefully more states follow.

itcoin Rapid-Fire - Bukele, Bitcoin, & All You Need To Know About Relocating to El Salvador
Great episode #[0]. Jeremy, the founder of 'Escape To El Salvador' explains what it is like to live in El Salvador and walks us through the process of becoming a resident.
Very little regulation and red tape. No tax on income made outside the country and as bitcoin is legal tender it’s exempt from capital gains tax. I’m now seriously thinking about relocating.
Yes, looking forward to it
Nice, the view from my moon pad is very similar
Mempools are full and Stacker.News Launches Subs For Bitcoin & Nostr

Have a good look at the graphic in #[0] article. It is a great way to visualise the bank failures in 2008 and compare them to the bank failures in 2023. The 2023 bank failures have only just begun but are much bigger. Many, many more banks will fail in the next few years so Imagine what this graphic will look like at the end of 2025. This is bloody scary!
Agreed. Need to get closer to the source of the food and avoid the store
