    What Jack Mallers is really saying is that you will be soon be able to offload your Bitcoins in the real world without KYC'ing through an exchange first. If this is true, it is actually an extremely substantive and important development for Bitcoin.

    Buying and hodling isn't good enough. Bitcoin needs the circular economy to succeed. Do you accept direct BTC payment for goods and services that you offer? Do you spend your BTC at places you support? If you believe in it, live it.

    Yesterday I tweeted about a #ChivoWallet privacy issue where the users' full legal name was being leaked in the LN invoice metadata. It appears to be fixed, and what's in its place is "Thanks Matt Ahlborg", which I guess is to show that they saw my tweet. x.com/MattAhlborg/st…

    The lightning invoices generated by Chivo contain the full legal name of the creator of the invoice. This to me seems like a privacy issue that should be dealt with.

    Why is crypto twitter is not discussing more what is going on in Nigeria? Nigeria is perhaps the highest per capita crypto country and the government just blocked most crypto trading websites due to it undermining their fiat, NGN. Guys, history is being written right now.

    1/ An absolutely incredible story out of Venezuela today. @theairtm, a @coinbase funded digital currency exchange, has been elected to redistribute $18M in US government seized corruption funds of the Maduro government back to 62,000 healthcare workers in Venezuela.

    The fact that @BetterMarkets, a special interest connected to @ewarren (who has been caught unethically coordinating softball questions to @GaryGensler), expended significant resources to put this letter together (in the 11th hour) makes me think we may yet get rugged.

    Every $ in BTC that you hold takes away ~$9 that banks could add to the money supply had you stored that $ with them. Therefore, even a small shift in BTC momentum at a precarious time for banks could result in a calamity for the whole system. Starting to see @balajis point.

    Learnings on El Salvador Chivo app functionality so far: - You can use the original $30 BTC to send off-chain, but you have to send it back and forth in Chivo 3-5 times - You CAN send #Lightning to Chivo - You CAN send Lightning FROM Chivo - on-chain are NOT being batched

    Interesting how it's in English. Reveals that it was made to pay lip service to Western Elites taking pictures of it, not the local population.

    1/3 #LightningNetwork on @CashApp will be the inflection point that brings lightning remittance mainsteam. The vector will be immigrant USD --> Cashapp-->P2P trading platform via lightning --> local fiat in family's mobile money wallet or bank in home country.

    1/ Some super interesting #LightningNetwork trends @bitrefill lately... Emerging markets, not the US or Europe, have been leading the way in lightning adoption. For example, 92% of all payments coming to us from El Salvador are riding lightning rails this month...
