People who think $45 transaction fee for transferring millions/billions dollars worth of value globally without any censorships is high. Think again. #Bitcoin

I’m people. There has to be a better way. There is a reason it’s layer 0.

I never said there was a better way than Bitcoin. I said there is a better way than $45 transaction fees.
Scarce blockspace is a core engineering feature which allows Bitcoin to be decentralized and censorship resistant. How do you propose we price fix fees lower without altering that dynamic?

I have no proposal. My point was there is a reason bitcoin is layer 0. Lightning is a great start.

But what if you want to send 45$ and the fee is 45$. So base layer is for millions and billions mainly, and we should build something on top?

We are in agreement. As it stands there is no better way than $45 transaction fees. But there has to be a better one as we build layers on top of the bitcoin blockchain.
Damm. I've been using lightning and liquid. There are trade-offs, but I think the reward-risk ratio makes liquid a decent option. Fedimints might be better, but I have only used one on testnet so far. This is also not finacial advice. This option makes sense for me. This would not be a good strategy for someone taking their bitcoin off coinbase for the very first time.
🤙 I'm glad. 🤓 I started my blog because I want to help Bitcoiners. Each place is different though. My advice for a Bitcoiner in North Korea would differ from my advice to a Bitcoiner in North Dakota.
