Darth is undoubtedly an expert on Lightning and has strong knowledge on the technicalities of Bitcoin. No problem to admit that. But it doesn't imply that he understands Bitcoin.

(I lost my father to Covid, and my partner lost her father AND sister from Covid, so imagine how much I value and respect people denying the reality of it...)
Fuck. That sucks about your father and other relatives. Nothing I can say to help in any way, though my instinct tells me to try. When I think about death, I think about a quote from Epicurus (paraphrased by Norm MacDonald)
"Why should I fear death? While I am here; death is not. While death is here; I am not. Why should I fear death? We will never intersect."
I know that doesn't help. Have a big zap (is that SN lingo for big hug?).

Thanks, bud, not necessary but I appreciate. Never really feared death either, but it's when it strikes others that it really sucks. We are never prepared for this, never...
