#lightningnetwork ⚡️ growing in size and usage by the week. Now at 0.9 BTC payment in a single tx.

Sometimes I think that the reason of why LN is so much attacked is that it definitely proves you can scale the biggest blockchain without the need of another token for incentives.

#Bitcoin can be sent without internet. You can set up a "normal" satellite dish and receive bitcoin blocks worldwide. Great in areas that do not have reliable internet and as a backup mechanism. @Blockstream providing the infrastructure.

1/ My essay "Fighting Monetary Colonialism with Open Source Code" is live.

France controls 15 African nations and 180M+ people through the CFA franc currency. The details are shocking.

It's no surprise we have the largest country and nearly the smallest country on the planet taking polar opposite positions on #Bitcoin. Who wins? The one supporting a free and open monetary network or the master manipulator that's implementing social scoring? My bet's on Bitcoin.

I used to think pump and dump rug pulls would go away but they are only getting worse.

It’s frustrating and fascinating at the same time.
