It goes to show that having access to the smartest people in the world still doesn't guarantee you'll understand the implications of #Bitcoin + ⚡️Lightning.
When I first heard about #bitcoin I thought it may be a complete scam.
Then I learned I had to buy bitcoin from another entity known as an exchange.
Coinbase appeared legit, but I also thought it may be a total scam at the time.
First time hearing about this space I felt like I had to trust random startups and forums on the internet for everything. It all felt absurdly risky. I had no idea what I was doing.
Over time I learned that bitcoin is actually the least uncertain asset one can hold, a complete shift in thinking. In fact, the exact opposite of what I expected.
Remember - most people are rightfully skeptical about #bitcoin, but once you spend enough time learning what it is, why and how to hold your own private keys, how difficult it would be to change something like bitcoin's supply schedule (21m), and how you can trustlessly verify your coins by running a full node on a basic computer, you mind is completely blown.
There is no second best.
We are living through hyperbitcoinization.
JUST IN - The⚡️#Bitcoin Lightning Network is Absolutely RIPPING 🚀

Policymakers should be on the side of innovation and ingenuity, which are vital to American competitiveness. I hope others in US govt join me. #Bitcoin
