Remember that LN⚡ adoption was a process, it was a fight. It took years for it to become an industry standard in Bitcoin world. It will take years to make it the standard for the world. Adoption is a process. It takes time and work!

Mining the straits is not a binary option. #Iran could just partially mine. If they mine the southern section, they could leave a channel going by Bandar Abbas, enabling them to fully control traffic. They could turn it almost into a toll booth. image

Simple questions that I see the media ignoring on the #war What is Pakistan doing? What is India doing? What is Turkey doing? Those 3 neighbours have nukes (In Turkey' case they don't own them, but they are there).

“Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America nor, for that matter, in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. ... [V]oice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.” ― Hermann Göring
