Stablecoins And Lightning - Jesse Shrader (JWP 109)
npub18yvpnchj7yaepjk8yz2pn66hfmmup505aqvx0lpyc3aree0g5fyq8clpz3
To kick off the New Year in style, I have an episode of the highest quality for you, with Jesse Shrader. If you ever wonder "what is actually being built on top of Bitcoin?" then look no further. I asked Jesse:
"Why would it be useful to have Stablecoins on the Lightning Network?"
"If Bitcoin is like Gold, do you think the lightning network is like using Bronze?"
"How many Lightning nodes exist?"
"How many Lightning channels exist?"
"What kind of volume can the Lightning Network do?"
"Are you doing a financing round?"
"How does Amboss make money?"
"Did you ever expect to be in the position you're in today?"

Next year I am so pumped to continue my podcast journey
In 12 months of work with the latest iteration so much has been learnt
108 episodes
Old friends revisited
New friends made
An investment in intellectual capital if ever there was one, I am so fortunate to have all these people willing to share their deepest lessons with me
Thank you to all the guests
Thank you to all the listeners
It’s already been an amazing experience, one which I am confident will continue, for many years yet
I’ve tested some things
I’ve failed
I’ve got back on with it
We are the creators of our own reality
It’s up to us
What future do you want? What future do you want for your kids? What is it that really gets you out of bed in the morning?
So cheers to you all
Cheers to my wife
Cheers to my kids
What an experience life is
Happy New Year!
💪🏻👏🙏🏻
Good investing is about so much more than just numbers
It took me a long time to figure out why
Trial and error
Trial and error
The iteration speed is more important than perfectionist tendencies
It’s literally a case of the more you do the more you learn
Time to lean into what it means to be a “world class investor”

When I wake up feeling a bit off key
Anxious
Overwhelmed
Exhausted
The best thing to get me feeling better: work
Can be anything
In today’s case, I fed all my kids breakfast, then gave them their supplements, and cleaned the kitchen
I’ve just finished building a BBQ, have one more piece of IKEA furniture to make, and need to apply water filters to some taps
If I get to organise the office, and h pack my clothes, then by the end of the day I’ll have achieved a bunch of things that needed to be done
Not straight away
But chores, stacked up, all of which combine to develop humanistic capital, in healthy kids and a healthy home
Already stating to feel better
💪🏻
I had the pleasure of speaking with npub18yvpnchj7yaepjk8yz2pn66hfmmup505aqvx0lpyc3aree0g5fyq8clpz3
Episode out this coming Friday
There were so many great segments to share, but this one caught my attention the most.
As a Bitcoin Maximalist I am always looking for interesting ways for it to strengthen, as a core investment of mine.
What do you think?
Victimhood is one of the most difficult behaviours to manage
Firstly in yourself. “Oh poor me”. It’s unhelpful at best, dangerous at worst. A hand break on action. The most annoying trigger being the “compare and despair”…
But secondly, in others. So frustrating. People literally play things their way, the victim, due to what happens around them. It always allows for blame to be on others. There’s no true accountability of emotion
