Yen has no micro unit. A single won is divided into 100 jeon, the monetary subunit.

In what currency macro unit is the same as micro?

Sure, because the coordinators are stealth.

AML/KYC is forced on every crypto service, including p2p.

Umbrel and Start9 are free and easy for noobs. Run Bitcoin, LND, Elements and PeerSwap to have the full house. Learning curve alone is worth the journey.

Because floating point operations create rounding problems in computers. You must set certain precision (8 decimals) and then work with integer units of that precision (people decided to call them sats).

why can't they fund with more debt per usual?

Annual circus. I remember 2018. They will reluctantly raise the debt ceiling again...

oops

Maybe a pixel with graphene and esim from a place like https://silent.link/ Won't have enough bandwidth to run all my nodes though, so will move more of them to anon clouds. But I do hope that dumb European bureaucrats are unable to create a true water tight dystopia.

Google and Apple can censor messaging apps to cc big brother before encrypting.

Good question, but I think Google, Apple and Microsoft (and/or hardware manufacturers) will gladly help to spy on us

Will "all the mesaging platforms" have to start identifying EU citizens? This will be fun. As a non-EU citizen living in the EU I will strongly oppose all this shit. Because I have no influence whatsoever on what they vote for.

Last time we've been to a cinema my wife said that our plasma TV at home had a larger angular size. Plus we like pausing our torrented movies to watch later. That cinema has been permanently closed since Covid. So yes, definitely in decline.

And if you plan to spend sats via LN, you can fund your Coinos wallet in a swap from on-chain while earning sats at SwapMarket or Boltz Pro.

Fun stuff, but PPL in Europe is bloody expensive and bureaucracy is very annoying. I started that road but then switched to ultralights, and eventually to a paraglider ))

Depends on where you run your Electrum. Many Windows viruses exist to steal from this wallet. Check out TailsOS.

Blockstream green is just Blockstream wallet now, and it is L1 only and non-custodial, i.e. you control the private keys, not some server. Blockstream cannot rug you. Coinos is both L1 and L2, and is custodial. They can steal your coins. If you want non-custodial lightning without running your own node, look at Phoenix. But keep in mind that opening channels costs money, so your first payment will be expensive.

No, 0.5% is market standard. But if you don't care to KYC your L1, Kraken lets you withdraw for 1500 sats. Coinos are not chasing profits right now, but growing market share. Their fees can be higher in the future.

Conversion of LN back to L1 requires closing the channels, and this looks bad for a node stats. And you can't get inbound capacity this way. Try running a lightning node for a couple of years and you will get idea of the flows. Coinos charges 0.4% for BTC withdrawals, on top of chain fees.
