Here's the full rip of the Lightning panel everyone is buzzing about. Watch as @roasbeef, @roy_breez, @Snyke, and @BitcoinErrorLog debate whether Lightning actually scales users, and how trust & complexity interact with layers and state threats. What do you think?

The correct narrative for layers is that they are a way to provide new features to existing Bitcoiners that are willing to trust each other when needed. Bitcoin layers are NOT a way to scale Bitcoin users, nor Bitcoin txns, they are a way to coordinate zero-conf transactions
People sometimes like to compare layer-scaling of Bitcoin to the layers that make up the internet and web (TCP/IP, etc) The problem is that proof-of-work and bearer assets are not digitally portable in the way that digital data is. They are chain-locked. On the web, data is

Hey @elonmusk it is clear that someone is using bots and socks on X to attack Bitcoin consensus to create Sybil support for a fork. Bitcoin will be okay, but you should know your platform is being used this way, and you should provide better tools to prevent swarm manipulation

If you are thinking about ditching health insurance all together but are worried about going completely naked in the case something big comes up, you should give CrowdHealth a look. Here is what our CrowdHealth members have paid on average/month over the last 12 months: $143

The question of which co-founder is the “technical” one and which is the “business” one is always funny to me

Most of you wont remember that time when a US company wanted to "fire core devs" with a fork and but we noticed that, if we had let them, their code would have halted and broken everything.

another distribution? why not? MSTR treasury holders are all speculators waiting for liquidity, but they ARE the liquidity...

Our kids have been riding the same bus for over 50 years! Totally unacceptable! It's time for an update! Here are some remodel ideas. Anything would be better than what it currently is! Let's show the next generation some love and get them a nicer and safer new ride! Perhaps some

It may be a little awkward to figure out, but I have decided to start making "brotherhood" one of my side goals. At work, in real life, online... I think we all want to be a better version of ourselves, and that we should help each other do that when we see a sincere effort.

If you agree that a lot of things Bitcoiners are doing are weird and dumb... And that my ideas about distributed systems aren't as crazy as they think... And you are an extremely talented developer... Why haven't you contacted me directly asking about joining the team?
