Looks promising.
Scanning QR codes looks very cumbersome when demonstrating Lightning payments to normies.
The future of daily Bitcoin payments must be something akin to tap-and-pay (maybe even offline with e-cash).
Maybe it was with you I had this conversation earlier then.
But you didn't explain it very well back then.. but then again I'm a low IQ pleb so who knows!
Now it's clear!
Didn't know this either. So apparently I can have a Lightning wallet attached, but still hide the gun symbol from my profile.
Doesn't make any sense then to blame users for not having a Lightning wallet attached just because of the absence of a gun symbol.
He might not “always” be right so I should reframe my original phrasing to “often a few steps ahead”.
Still, Simon is an interesting character to listen to because his OG Bitcoin wealth enables him not to be beholden to investors and VCs etc. so he seems a bit like an independent outsider thinker.
Still, we shouldn’t raise anybody to the status of prophet and keep verifying things ourselves.
He has a relatively good track record for predicting Bitcoin, crypto, macro and geopolitical trends and events by following global money flows instead of relying on just news, narratives or ideologies.
Some of these have been:
- Wall Street capture of Bitcoin through ETFs, custody and lending services while promoting the importance of self-custody.
- Foresight on the financial industrial complex dominance and dollar decline. Rising of a multipolar world order. Managing this transition with stablecoins.
- Critique of altcoins and crypto tokens.
Where do you see lunacy or conspiracy theories?
It is extremely rare for a senior member of the royal family — or someone who used to hold such status — to be arrested.
Weird that royals have been above the law in UK.
Probably that’s partly why the former prince thought he could get away with it.
Some 2,000 eligible artists will be selected after applications open in May and will receive the weekly payment for three years.
Let me guess: they will only write songs about how taxation is great, vaccines are good and how we need a CBDC.
And of course Sudanese and Congolese riverdance performers will be included.
the files released so far
Why would a blackmail operation release anything about the sitting president?
AI-generated ID and an AI-filtered face scan. Problem solved. If most people do that, they will reconsider their dumb rules.
Users can lift limits through on-device facial age estimation, government ID submission to vendors, or an age inference model based on account activity like games played.
I wonder though if they can somehow infer from my connected email address that it was created in 2009..
Blackrock tends to get what it wants anyway regardless of the Uniparty.
SBR seemed to only be an empty campaign tactic to usher in the stablecoin surveillance regime.
in his first 200 days in office, Trump’s presence in the White House has not been able to hold back the tide of selling. If bitcoin can’t thrive in this environment, when can it?
Kamala and Warren debanking people left and right, we would be at ATH and opening massive Lightning channels in no time.
Generally commercial planes are safer especially if you're one of the compromised influential people.
On a private jet, you might fall into an "accident" easier.
Maybe the exchange's airdrop process was vibecoded?
Apparently most of the BTC was clawed back before users managed to withdraw it from the exchange.
125 BTC was withdrawn, and instead of chasing such a small amount, the exchange will take the loss.
Reminds me of the case in 2021 when Crypto.com accidentally sent 7 million dollars to a user and she bought a luxury home with it.
Crypto.com sued few months later and the user had to pay it all back with interest.
Bearish on CEOs juggling with two companies and diluting their attention.
I feel only Elon's neuralink brain is capable of that.
Every time I zap, the site automatically credits from my cowboy credit balance.
If I don't have any on my balance, it credits from my attached Lightning wallet.
Don’t be cheap. We humans zap more generously.
Less AI slop, the better.
