The worst thing that can happen to Bitcoin is people believing - for whatever reason - someone else should control their money. @Birkeland classifies the aggregate attempt of turning people against Bitcoin as a PsyOp.Problems in Layer 0—Social Attacks on Bitcoin Joe Nakamoto, journalist at Coin Telegraph, shared his article about What it’s actually like to use Bitcoin in El Salvador. In summary, it's both better and worse than most of us imagine. Nearly every Salvadoran knows what Bitcoin is, but many don't yet know the difference between on-chain Bitcoin and Lightning. Joe almost paid for everything with Bitcoin in El Salvador, but not quite and it wasn't easy. https://cointelegraph.com/magazine/what-actually-use-bitcoin-el-salvador/ SN Discussion Bitcoin's node count is far from all time highs. Currently, the network has 50k non-listening and 5k listening nodes. (Listening nodes are ones that accept connections from peers for relaying both blocks and transactions.) This dovetails nicely with Birkeland's article from last week on (lightning) node UX being too hard. This discussion copied from Bitcoin's subreddit calls upon us to do better.Think Bitcoin is Inevitable? Think Again. Complacency is the Enemy of Bitcoin @Darthcoin has more experience onboarding small merchants to Bitcoin than many of us. Without billion dollar sales and support teams to assist in onboarding, like those at PoS provider Clover, Bitcoin will struggle to compete even if it saves merchants money. The learning curve is steep, particularly with Lightning, and @Darthcoin proposes someone build Liquidity services for merchants.Proposal: create Private LSP (Liquidity Service Providers) for businesses Man, even folks at Forbes are excited about Nostr.

Only one day after SBF tweeted (since deleted) that "FTX has enough to cover all client holdings," FTX was looking to be saved in an acquisition. Many of us know how the rest of the story goes: Binance walked away from the deal (if they ever intended to do it at all), FTX filed for bankruptcy, customer withdrawals were seemingly suspended indefinitely, and today FTX was "hacked". Bolt12 is a contentious upgrade to the Lightning protocol - most implementations are moving forward with it, but the dominant implementation has reservations. Regardless, this tweet thread from LN Capital describes some of the features of bolt12, highlighting reusable invoices, scan to receive, and recurring payments.
