Not in Miami this week. But I saw the coolest demo of AI + #Bitcoin this week in SF. @kodylow and @roasbeef built the Lightning integration for agents and AI chat apps. It enables easy micropayments between humans and bots.

Where were the people telling me this had absolutely nothing to do with Signature’s crypto activities a couple hours ago?

For my first piece for @ForbesCrypto I decided to explore how @Machankura8333 is enabling Africans without internet access to transact on #Bitcoin. https://t.co/6Q1ZsYY1l6

[Yassine Elmandjra @yassine_elman]

Over the weekend, Bitcoin settled ~$33 billion, facilitated ~600k transactions, & issued 2,037 new BTC at a steady & predictable ~1.8% inflation rate. ~1 million new addresses were generated & miners earned $43 m producing 326 blocks.

Banks were closed. The Fed was not needed.

"micropayments will never work"

[Marty Bent @MartyBent]

Institutional capital may be turned away from bitcoin and the naysayers may be emboldened after the "crypto" market calamity of 2022, but the pace of development around the Lightning network has never been as vibrant as it is today.
