@elonmusk@itsALLrisky Elon, #Bitcoin provides billions of people with sound money; it can not be inflated or corrupted by any individual, business, or government. #Lightning is a scalable monetary network built on top of #Bitcoin. It is fast, cheap, and supports millions of transactions per second.
Bitcoin isn't "backed by nothing" - it's backed by the people who care enough to dedicate time and resources to support it.
The most dangerous form of apathy may be complacency: the idea that Bitcoin is inevitable and it's too risky to try to improve it.

We are going to have a Twitter Spaces with @4moonsettler and @Sinz_Bitguide to discuss ARK – the newly proposed Bitcoin L2 protocol (@brqgoo) that addresses lightning’s inbound liquidity constraints & complements it.
Time: Today, 4pm Eastern Time, 8pm GMT (an hour from now)
Looking to understand @brqgoo's Ark?
A footprint-minimal coinswap protocol
Alice pays the Server -> Server pays Bob
Since many swaps occur via the Server, they can all be placed inside a single UTXO that's efficiently redeemable by the Server

🕊🕊As many now know @staceski12 our fren passed away in a car accident. Many have reached out and know she was survived by two kids that are very young adults. I reached out to her and helped her set up a wallet for those who wanted to help.
@stoolpresidente You never owned any bitcoins unless you withdrew them to your own control. If you paid FTX or anyone else for “Bitcoin” which you then just kept in their system then you only owned a claim or IOU which at this point sadly may not be redeemable. Best practice is to self-custody.

Lightning Jet ("Jet") by @ItsNeski is a fully automated rebalancer for LND Lightning nodes. It helps get an insight into peers’ classification based on routing history, missed routing opportunities, and stuck HTLCs.

Legacy fintwit still barely comprehends #bitcoin & confuses bitcoin with all the worthless shitcoins called "crypto."
#bitcoin is volatile and more bitcoiners will grow rich because of that volatility.
Laugh all you want, but you are still #clueless.
The game has barely begun
Gold can not be used without the benefit of a trusted third party, except in some physical person to person transactions.
Gold's physicality is its downfall.
#bitcoin wins the intellectual battle vs gold. In time gold will lose all its monetary value.

Lightning is an amazing protocol stack that will take Bitcoin scaling unbelievably further than it would have gone without it.
It also has a giant pile of problems to solve to really work long term at scale.
Thats reality. Complaining about reality is childish.
On Jan 3, 2009 #Bitcoin was born, operating without economic value for 504 days until May 22, 2010 ("Pizza Day") when two pizzas traded for 10,000 BTC. Satoshi disappeared Dec 13, 2010 without profiting in any way, completing the ethical launch of the world's first digital money.
