Ok correct me if I’m wrong. Zeus ln wallet does path finding/construction client side. Rather than relying on the eventual rollout of trampoline routing. Interesting. I’d take performance hit for that privacy increase today. Not sure about blinded paths bolt 12 support and splicing in lnd yet. Can’t find it yet will look later.

We’re all fucking crazy aren’t we

I hate trying to save fiat for near term priorities. (Car and phone on the brink. Need house rewire) only to see a bitcoin dip and dump it all in and defer the stuff for ages. Bitcoiners would be very proud of my car though I will say

Favourite thing about orange pilling family and friends is having people to party with on the other side ✌🏿

I find not being on TikTok or fb as a younger person you miss out on loads of social or cultural references. Not that I’m upset about it but interesting how many times I say I don’t know a reference that’s “hot” at the minute

Was thinking today about an opendime style physical representation of bitcoin that would be good for local in person small transactions. Paying in shops in person etc. But if it’s small and can’t be redeemed on chain ecash fits the bill with similar trade offs? It’s bearer asset and private. Maybe for a more local bearer token, use ecash (credit union style federation?). Liquid for smaller international payments can be more internationally “trusted”. Then get as close to on-chain as possible for storing wealth and large payments? Like a spectrum of trust trade offs which would be the same trust trade offs as using other shitcoins anyway if bitcoin never changed. I know liquid and ecash are shit coins but at least we get to use btc denominations. Covenants or block size increases can be argued about to increase base layer self custody in time. All thought about on bitcoin talk in 100BC

Hmm to run a lightning node

Low key delighted we don’t get a free pass with bitcoin and it wins because a government says so. I want us to not be complacent and to continue to fight, build and prove why bitcoin is the best. If it ever becomes not the best it will fail anyway so best be reminded of that
