Happy Sat-urday Stackers,
Users asked me to write a weekly newsletter. This is the first. We are keeping it pretty lo-fi. I'm not using an email marketing tool, just sending it straight from my inbox and writing it personally. If you don't want to receive these emails in the future, just respond with 'f$#k off, keyan' or say something nicer and I'll take you off the list.
Upcoming AMA: Desiree Dickerson, CEO of THNDR games, a play-to-earn Bitcoin mobile gaming company will be doing an AMA on Wednesday April 20th at 1pm CT (6pm UTC).

  1. Romain Roupael, co-founder of LNMarkets, did an AMA on Stacker News. LN Markets is a Lightning-based Bitcoin derivatives trading platform. As we learn in the AMA, LN Markets is KYC-free (hence not accessible from the US), only requiring a lightning wallet to begin trading. Since their founding, LNMarkets has done $450m worth of trading volume.

  • "32% of all LN public capacity is now held on exchange nodes"
