Literally everything I pay for with bitcoin is over lightning: esims, vpns, steam credit, zaps. I do more bitcoin transactions than ever but the fewest on-chain transactions I've ever done.

Sovereign debt is like a money wave flowing to us from the future. The duration at which they can afford to refinance will get shorter and shorter, as which point the hyperinflation crashes into us.

Is it just me or has the FT been causing buzz lately for saying retarded nonsense. Does anyone know why? What are we being distracted from?

The nature of corporations is top down decision making, they are not democracies. The people running them will follow their own incentives. I'm not suggesting bank tellers are conspiring to stop bitcoin.

I imagine it's the banks, as they have the most at stake. Just like during covid it was the drug companies. Media are just the useful shills, & politicians the useful idiots.

The conflation between Bitcoin and Crypto in MSM is not by accident or out of ignorance. It's part of the social attack.

Just like all the word games during covid to take away our rights.

I think they don't realise they need the real thing yet. They will learn a big lesson about counterparty risk over the next few years.

Actually needs are the same for all humans.

No need to withdraw your own cash if you never give it to the bank in the first place.

Also, hilarious that they are doing this just after nationwide power outage stopped all electronic payments.

Classic bad faith bullshit hit job. Bitcoiners were one of the earlier groups to realise that we are in a global information/propaganda war. Gen pop still doesn't get it, even though some woke up during covid.

Large banks will get bailed out, small ones won't. Not a difficult choice to make.

Too bad Joel didn't teach him about opsec

That's what bitcoiners are doing. The Guardian is just trying to harvest useful idiots to be communists.

They are paid in new shares

Yeah this is delusional. Credit is a tool banks create from nothing to turn the young into debt slaves, so they can spend their prime years paying interest to sociopaths.

All of the above. The market will decide which fork is Bitcoin
