I have changed my opinion on this topic every few years, but at the moment I believe banking and bitcoin cannot be reconciled and will remain separate networks until one of them dies. There will be synthetic bitcoin on the banking side and synthetic dollars on the bitcoin side.

Nodes are a bit like pets, they need constant attention and love. As fees are remaining high, please take extra care of your node, it might have lost sync to chain or simply wants to be rebooted from time to time.

Great #Lightning meetup in Vancouver tonight. I feel so privileged we can host it at a merchant that takes sats, and yet it should be the norm

Thanks to BTCPay, zaps should finally show up in my posts, without having to use a custodial wallet! Love it!

TIL Charlie Chaplin was English and forced to leave the United States in 1952 and barred from re-entry as a suspected communist. He died in Switzerland 25 years later.

Got myself a new laptop, of course paid with sats! Even I’m surprised at the smooth Bitpay experience. Lightning’s success appears pretty inevitable once you start using it

Excellent article on how bad money ruins our cities. Fix the money, fix the world.

Sometime I feel like I really need a break from it all, but then I conclude it’s a better idea to work harder to make #Bitcoin adoption actually work. We’re getting close to a Schelling point, I suspect
