Saifrdean interview with John Dennehy (Mi Primer Bitcoin) - great insights and perspectives about bitcoin in El Salvador https://fountain.fm/episode/6aum2LvnlWBC85VOLbvH

This is the biggest update to Lightning in a long time, if not to date. Acinq & phoenix continue to push limits on the bleeding edge of Lightning, enabling unified balance and all but removing the distinction between on and off-chain for end users.

ACINQ | Introducing the new Phoenix

ACINQ is a Bitcoin technology company with a focus on the Lightning Network.

Today, I'm bearish on the entire bitcoin space (for the first time ever) Bitcoin is fine, nothing changed, but it seems I attributed a lot more intelligence to the leaders in this space than they deserve. "Leaders?" you may ask. Yes, there are no leaders in bitcoin, but there are in the Bitcoin Space, and I gave them way more credit than they deserve. Don't get fooled by fancy marketing friends. Keep your bullshit detectors fine-tuned and don't delude yourself with wishful thinking.

I appreciate all panelists on the all-female panel at nostrica. The contributions and perpectives were great and valuable. But not a single NIP was discussed. Wtf?

Kicked back, watching Nostrica livestream, such great conversations. Massive fomo

If merchants could easily sell bitcoin over the counter for cash, it would - add new revenue stream (small commission for sale) - bring new customers who want to buy bitcoin - incentivize merchant to accept bitcoin for goods & services (replenishing bitcoin stock) - offer kyc-free bitcoin to customers - make bitcoin more easily accessible in more areas Anything else?

Longest space I've ever been on. TY @DJSATOSHI18 🙏 Rough breakdown: 1:00 – Nostr w/ @CriptoZorro, custody w/ @MrHodl 2:00 – : About me/my ...

Unpopular truth: Many (most?) zaps on nostr aren't even Lightning transactions.
