    The biggest news at @TheBitcoinConf just dropped. @milessuter shared that the c= routing node is earning 9.7% APR on its bitcoin liquidity (which Iโ€™d estimate at ~$10M, 50% of its 184 BTC of public capacity). True non-custodial yield based on the utility of bitcoin payments. โšก๏ธ

    You need to read what Ross Stevens, Executive Chairman of NYDIG, said to @michael_saylor yesterday about how he's leveraging the #LightningNetwork, @ln_strike and @lightning. โšก It describes #Bitcoin's Chapter 2 in such a direct and incredible way. Buckle up.

    Noise: "crypto" personalities saying #bitcoin can't work for payments, fudding the Lightning Network Signal: central bankers from 44 countries in the global south traveling to El Salvador to learn about #bitcoin and the Lightning Network โšก Are you paying attention?

    President of El Salvador saying they waste a bunch of geothermal energy generated by volcanoes... wants Bitcoin miners to come set up shop and help. The Hash Wars are happening. Great question @gladstein

    Recently, I've been thinking about this chart from @hasufl and @nic_carter concerning the changing #bitcoin narrative. I think the recent focus on NgU has been misguided, and we've lost sight of the true common thread tying all of these together: #Bitcoin is freedom money.

    I've had a lot of people reach out recently and ask what's been driving the #LightningNetwork's latest exponential growth phase. I think I'd attribute it to four main sources: ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡

    Congratulations @SteaknShake on a seamless bitcoin payments experience, and shoutout to @speed_LN for an excellent integration! I paid for my burger, beef tallow fries, and chocolate milkshake with USDT on LN, and @SteaknShake received BTC. Worked like magic. Now to eatโ€ฆ๐Ÿคค๐Ÿ˜‹

    They want your BTC so bad. They're pumping memecoins left and right. They're telling you PoW is killing the planet. They're taunting you about the flippening. The noise is only going to get louder. But you don't have to listen to them. You just have to do one thing: HODL

    PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Yes, there do exist charts still trending up and to the right. No, there isn't a token you can buy. It's real, sustainable economic growth, so lame and boring I know. But up and to the right! #LightningNetwork โšก

    Wall St and Silicon Valley love Ethereum because they recognize a system they can control. #Bitcoin has already fixed this. No need to go backwards. Too much work to do. โšก

    Holy fuck is Ethereum broken. EVERY design decisions they've taken for ETH2 carries absolutely irresolvable centralizing forces. Think staking is bad enough already? The underbelly of MEV is absolutely monstrous.
