What an amazing time at @TheBitcoinConf!

The reception of the @ambosstech RailsX announcement was excellent; now you can seamlessly trade stablecoins on lightning completely privately. With this tech, @lightning can become the FX layer for the world's currencies.

@MrPartridgee How do you think we get there

[Jesse Shrader 🌋⚡ @Jestopher_BTC]

The #bitcoin vibe truly is capitulation.

For the die-hards among us, that's about as good of a BUY signal you can find.

[Jesse Shrader 🌋⚡ @Jestopher_BTC]

@bergealex4 We aren't out of the woods yet 🐻

[Jesse Shrader 🌋⚡ @Jestopher_BTC]

This is why Lightning is a massive improvement for Bitcoin.

Not only does it help bitcoin scale, it massively increases privacy from future prying eyes.

[TFTC @TFTC21]

"You don't have to be a target today. They can download the blockchain in 10 years and start tracking you then."

Matt Odell on why onchain Bitcoin privacy is fundamentally different from every other surveillance system.

@raintures Stack activity-derived yield on top of passive yield 👍

[Jesse Shrader 🌋⚡ @Jestopher_BTC]

If someone were to tokenize $STRC as a Taproot Asset, they could collect the 11.5% APY as well as collect Lightning routing income.

@BTCBreakdown @thunderhubio Once it's issued, I'll help you access lightning yield on it.

I'm confident it will be extremely popular.

[Jesse Shrader 🌋⚡ @Jestopher_BTC]

@BTCBreakdown Absolutely.
The barrier to being an issuer is a regulatory matter, not a technical one.

Heck, there's even a UI for it in the latest @thunderhubio.

[Jesse Shrader 🌋⚡ @Jestopher_BTC]

@OrangePilledca If people want to use STRC as a Stablecoin, payment destinations will want to pay for lightning STRC liquidity instead of BTC (or USDT or USDC) liquidity.

This provides additional yield to STRC liquidity providers and merchants can earn STRC yield by holding the Taproot asset.

Health is wealth

Stablecoins will use the Lightning Network for scaling and privacy

@MichaelRihani Probably the best thing they've done

[Jesse Shrader 🌋⚡ @Jestopher_BTC]

This work that @milessuter and @blocks are doing is so important.
@CashApp just became the regulated interface from crypto to the Lightning Network. Bitcoin tech is the standard.

[Miles 🌞 @milessuter]

We just shipped stablecoins on @CashApp.

Everything runs from your existing USD balance - no separate wallet, no managing multiple chains, no extra setup, and importantly no fees.

Send and receive USDC on SOL, ETH, POL, and ARB.

The most seamless integration in the world imo.

[BeccaAmilee @BeccaAmilee]

Congratulations to @dusty_daemon's lightning splicing protocol going live as BOLT standard.

So. Much. Work. Thanks Dusty!!

[Give Me LIGHTNING @givelightning]

So many companies have launched on the Lightning Network wince we starting tracking it @ https://t.co/RA5smDSftS that we decided to make an X page to help us keep up.

This is it. Hi. ⚡

[Jesse Shrader 🌋⚡ @Jestopher_BTC]

@oviohq I'm getting telegram DMs from @KellerMatt
Looking too good

[Jesse Shrader 🌋⚡ @Jestopher_BTC]

@monsterbitar That would be impossible and defeat the motivation of most regulators pushing for real decentralization.

[Jesse Shrader 🌋⚡ @Jestopher_BTC]

It's 11 am and I've already routed over 100 payments today ⚡

[Jesse Shrader 🌋⚡ @Jestopher_BTC]

@TheBCHPodcast sir i'm not a financial institution.

the magic is that you don't have to use a middleman, unless it's in your interest to do so (which is the case here).

[AMBOSS ⚡ @ambosstech]

A stablecoin on Bitcoin can be accelerated using the Lightning Network.

In-flight FX on Lightning allows you to choose which currency to receive and the exchange happens automatically with every payment.

I just completed a P2P currency exchange in the airport...CHF to EUR. What a weird system.
If only there was a neutral internet-based currency to intermediate, allowing me to exchange P2P at the best available rates over the Internet without scanning my passport.

Oh wait. BTC.
