Great advice, but most people I know don’t want to learn about Bitcoin. I’ve tried to get many smart people I know to learn about Bitcoin but it’s too low on their priority list since they don’t see/understand the upcoming fiat debacle on the horizon. They say I’m just crying wolf and, thus, there is no compelling reason to them leave fiat behind.

Is lightning just another place bitcoiners lose money trying to save on fees?

@nostr:nevent1qqsf20gj9x0tw8p5w3mp9dz863swtdx3th4lcln5uaaaagz27svxglcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgs0ut2u7chft245rxc8kmu20d6a8jesvmawyhrtgjkwp70np3vnq0grqsqqqqqpdp7ytj

Full disclosure, I use lightning a lot more than I "use bitcoin", but I'd certainly consider having any SATs locked on the lightning network to be a huge risk. Everyone, in the end, just wants the bitcoin.

Are we having a bitcoin vs blockchain moment with lightning?

Building a "better bitcoin"?

Ugh. So much noise!

No, it’s not a better Bitcoin. It’s a way to use Bitcoin. Any layer on top of Bitcoin is a way to use Bitcoin. It’s a payment system that trades off trustlessness for speed of settlement.

Out of curiosity, what do people, besides paid shills, think of the Orange Pill App? nostr:note1uv5etr6cddk9dhf63erh07wtq6uyjrrgfshy06s5hy35lc37s5ksnc3gvx

It’s simply my opinion. Yours is different. That’s the way life works, no?

Because there is little functionality other than connecting and chatting with others. The events feature is lame.

Why not?

My bad. I know it is a self-custody wallet but I misinterpreted the note. I have one with some sats in it. 😂

You asked if you were a dating app and I said yes.

What’s your take on the wacky Torres decision in the XRP case? “If you sell to VCs it’s a security, but if you sell to retail via an exchange, it’s not.” (It’s a rug pull 😂). Thx!

But is it? My understanding is it isn’t.

Of course it has to be. The alternative is a psycho dicktraitor who only cares about the past and wants revenge on people who told the truth.
