Resist the creeping enslavement from unelected bureaucrats!

El primer uso industrial de las máquinas de vapor fue para sacar agua de las minas , pero nadie habla de eso porque las máquinas estaban estacionarias y ocultas en la oscuridad. Tres generaciones más tarde, los inventores comenzaron a agregar ruedas a los motores. Liberar ese poder y sacarlo a la luz hizo que todos se dieran cuenta, y fue entonces cuando el vapor cambió todo.

Lightning se encuentra en una coyuntura similar, donde poco esta saliendo a la luz.

Lightning lo libera de aplicaciones anticuadas de un solo propósito.

> La lógica de los micropagos P2P tiene tanto sentido que los usuarios pronto reconocerán el fiat y sus obstáculos como las jaulas que son.

Ante las preguntas de quién necesita KYC?, quién necesita tarifas de transacción? y quién necesita bancos, los usuarios se darán cuenta de que la respuesta es **"Yo No"**.

[ES] Analogia de Lightning Network y las maquinas de vapor ⚡⛏

Unless you've been living under a rock the last week, you've probably heard about ***Ordinals***

----

Here's why you should be **EXTREMELY** careful about this, and why your favorite influencer might not have your best interest in mind 🧵👇

![Cryptopunk](https://i.imgur.com/Sb0UCBK.jpg)

Bids and asks are happening on Google Docs for Ordinal Punks.
> Ordinal Punks have a floor price of **55E**, with bids as high as **40E**

These numbers match those of **ANY** other blue chip collection, so obviously Ordinal Punks have to be a really big thing.

But are they really? Let's find out.
  
Ordinal Punks is 100 CryptoPunks minted within the first 650 inscriptions on Bitcoin. Basically new mints on Bitcoin. More info here: *https://ordinalpunks.com*

(I'm not going to cover what Ordinal NFTs are, you can find plenty of post on that already)

**But why are these NFTs so sketchy?**

Here's why:

- Everything is happening OTC
- There are a lot of scams
- There's low to none transparency
- You need to run a Bitcoin node to mint 
- Extreme information asymmetry

And the first-mover advantage is enourmous

Your tech-savy friends or your favorite influencers are front running you, pumping the price, writing threads

...and selling it to you after you're struck with **~~FOMO~~**.

Pushing it as something extraordinary

While in reality, ***Ordinal Punks is a derivative***.

> It's a derivative of MutantPunksNFT, an Ethereum-based NFT project launched October 2021 (!)

See for yourself: [here!](https://looksrare.org/collections/0x30975aCac70B5d774D6f756ACd03a9B90CD4D4F5https://looksrare.org/collections/0x30975aCac70B5d774D6f756ACd03a9B90CD4D4F5)

**So what's going to happen next?** 🤔

Well, your favorite influencer or front-running friend is going to say: 

> "Being a derivative doesn't matter, what matters is being first"

(When they say that, point them towards Solana Punks or any Historical NFT collection on Eth)

But they don't mean it though - a year ago they all said that derivative collections hold little to no significance

Know that they push a narrative that benefits themselves

They already have the technical know-how to buy, and the sufficient network to hype these things

----

**"Intentionally", I say.**

I refuse to be exit liquidity for hype orchestrators, or for front-runners.

I refuse to buy the emperor's new clothes.

You should consider that too. 

Lastly, I am not bearish on new innovations, on Bitcoin NFTs, or on Ordinal NFTs.

I think Bitcoin NFTs could be great for the space and bring new people into it.

What I am bearish on, however, is orchestrated hypes, and influencers selling you gold-disguised rocks.

The biggest NFT scam of all time? let's find out how they do it here 🎭

Bitcoin Punks are minted out! 🎨

Do not worry my friend. We are all btc! 🧡

I agree with you, soon I will publish a reflection on how all this happened.

All 10,000 CryptoPunks are now inscribed fully on-chain on Bitcoin L1 where they will live for all of time.

Algunas razones por las que pienso que bitcoin es el rey: 👑

#### Los 7 pecados capitales de bitcoin:

1.  Antigüedad: Bitcoin es la criptomoneda más antigua y ha estado en el mercado desde 2009, lo que le da una ventaja en términos de reconocimiento y adopción.

2. Red más grande: Bitcoin tiene la red más grande y activa de todas las criptomonedas, lo que significa que es más fácil encontrar compradores y vendedores.

3. Seguridad: Bitcoin utiliza tecnologías de seguridad probadas y ha resistido el tiempo y las pruebas de seguridad.

4. Descentralización: Bitcoin es una criptomoneda descentralizada, lo que significa que no está controlada por una sola entidad o gobierno.

5. Adopción generalizada: Bitcoin es ampliamente adoptado por una variedad de comerciantes, instituciones financieras y plataformas de criptomonedas.

6. Adopción generalizada: Bitcoin es ampliamente adoptado por una variedad de comerciantes, instituciones financieras y plataformas de criptomonedas.

[ES]🌐Porque se consideran a #Bitcoin como el rey criptomonedas ?

We say that #Bitcoin is infinitely divisible. But is that really true?

Haha! Yes this is the magic of Lightning... ⚡ Good luck buddy! 

Start learning about it today at [Bitcoiner Guide](http://bitcoiner.guide).

Don't wait to get #Bitcoin until you need it.  👇

Yes. Here’s how:

A satoshi is the smallest unit of a bitcoin.
But Lightning can transact with even smaller units while channels are open.

> Milli-satoshis, or msats, are the native unit of the Lightning Network.

> A milli-satoshi is simply 1/1,000th of a satoshi.

There are 1,000 milli-satoshis in 1 satoshi.

When the channel is closed and broadcast on-chain, the amount of msats is rounded down to the nearest satoshi.

Bookkeeping off-chain allows Bitcoin to be infinitely divisible👍🏻

I am going to document my process and help more people to learn from this world, and from this new mentality change. Thank you very much for your answer. It is incredible how you learn with each chat. I appreciate it a lot.
