- Bull market or build market, there is no bear 🏗️
- What's special about Bitcoin is that you get to build the world as you want it to be 🏗️ What previously fell to an elite group of politicians and bankers is now in the hands of a bunch of nerds and plebs 🤓 Developers, designers, devoted hodlers, some options to get involved 👇
- “Traditionally African countries are consumers of products built outside of the continent. In this room, we are no longer consumers, we are producers. #Bitcoin is the tool that we build with.” - @femilonge opening words at the first @QalaAfrica offsite in Lagos 🔥
- As a developer, it’s important to work in something you care about. 3 cent lightning beer is something I can stand for 💪🏼
00:00 - 💸 Bitcoin’s price is speculative. 🚀Its value is not. Different people will find value in different ways, no matter what time it is in Moscow 🕰
- If El Salvador actually start mining Bitcoin with volcanoes my parents are never going to believe I have a real job.
- Discussing how Bitcoin can bring opportunity and upliftment, and act as an equalising force with this incredible group gives me a true feeling of hope 🧡 Decentralising development isn’t easy, but it’s essential, and I can’t wait to get to work 💪 Now, we rise 🌍Announcing the ₿trust board: @actuallyCarlaKC, @ihate1999, @obi, & @ojomaochai! I'm so grateful for you all and so inspired. 🧡⚡️🌍 They'll now work towards defining the operating principles as they think about how to best distribute the 500 bitcoin towards development efforts.
- Watching somebody grapple with the fact that the US is not the whole world in real time is spectacular 🗺️
00:00 - Not another lightning implementation ... actually! This is LNDK: github.com/lndk-org/lndk It is a standalone daemon that allows your LND node to forward onion messages 🧅 Built using @lightningdevkit, with the goal of providing LND users with #bolt12 support (2 weeks ™️).
- SimLN is a tool for simulating active lightning networks in any test environment: regtest or signet, local or cloud! Its goal is to allow LN app and protocol devs to test code in more realistic environments. BYON(etwork) and let SimLN do the rest ⚡
- If we’re in the matrix, Morpheus please give me a minute before unplugging me! Working full time on LN infrastructure with the incredible @lightning team is truly a dream come true!Today we are excited to announce three new additions to the infrastructure team at Lightning Labs: Oliver Gugger (@gugol), Carla Kirk-Cohen (@actuallyCarlaKC), and András Bánki-Horváth (@bhandras).⚡️
GIF - When the @lightning team isn't busy buidl'ing, we try to keep each other accountable on a book club every two months 📚 Very proud of this team's ability to nerd out on almost any topic out there 🤓💕 👇2021 reading list
