I'm bullish on, mining decentralization. open source mining initiatives. self custody tooling. node software decentralization. lightning network adoption.

Optionality is in a great place. Thanks to the work of many, there are great options for all those problems. Can't make people use them. Can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink.

NGU makes problems easier to solve.

Maybe @calle was not talking about bitcoin ☺️ 🫂

Not in my experience.

That’s true, but also if mining decentralization doesn’t improve, that’s really bad for Bitcoin whether miners have the options or not. Self-custody isn’t quite the same, but sadly modern competitive self-custody requires service providers (LSPs/etc) and they need enough users to stay in business.

Bitcoin reactor still functioning

What about Ocean gaining traction?

That’s still basically a rounding error. Also curious what % of their hashrate picks their own templates. Good, but not the kind of movement we need to see.
