Are your likes from other clients showing up on Nostur? Mine are not which is pretty odd 🤔

I don’t participate in much of the layer 2 space, but I think it’s very interesting to keep track of, and I appreciate the coverage that Bitcoin Season 2 gives.
Fractal sounds interesting and I’ll be keeping my eye on the project. Right now it seems merge mining, federations, and some form of staking seem to be what different layer 2 solutions are converging around, with Fractal going the merge mining route.

The day we broke into new #Bitcoin all time high territory, I thought “wouldn’t it be hilarious if we stall out here for a while, drop lower than anyone is expecting, and form a beautiful cup and handle.” Well, it seems my prediction was right. This is shaping up to be a text book pattern, combined with a huge bull flag off of the golden pocket. $120k coming to a chart near you soon. #trading #technicalanalysis

What’s the best way to move all my funds off of @npub1mut…23vg ? I see I can close my channel and move my funds on chain which could be viable because fees are pretty low right now, but are those funds accessible in Mutiny itself, or would I need to restore that seed to a more traditional wallet?
I also thought about trying to just spend all of my available outbound liquidity and just forget about the 1% Mutiny has in reserve.
Curious as to what other folks are doing. #Bitcoin #mutiny #lightning

2024-07-30 19:50:22

Lightning on Liquid sounds really interesting in terms of keeping the Lightning network cheap for the long term, but it still feels like a lot of trust to put into Blockstream. It would be nice if Liquid could become more decentralized over time. #Bitcoin #LiquidNetwork #LightningNetwork

I don't have to, but I much prefer to listen to music. I have a playlist that is continuously updated that has a similar BPM and intensity to the songs. I can be at a point where I'm pretty fatigued, but when the right track comes on with the right attitude, it can absolutely give me a second or third wind. Also, my wife recently forgot her headphones at home so we shared my AirPods and she immediately wanted a link to my playlist after our workout because it worked so well. There's power in music, but I can also appreciate a more meditative approach to working out.

Basically making a single transaction with all your BTC to a new wallet address that you own (could be using the same xpub, doesn’t have to be from a new seed phrase).

2024-07-05 19:42:41

Finally used Sparrow Wallet for the first time to consolidate UTXO's while fees are low and it was a solid experience. The aesthetics remind me of #Bitcoin wallets circa 2014 which was a bit of a throwback. Highly recommended.

I’m traveling back to the states from San Luis Potosí and I am bummed that I didn’t see any local merchants accepting Bitcoin. Last time I was in Mexico was 10 years ago and I had hoped to see Bitcoin accepted then, but did not. I hope that one of these days I don’t have to worry about pesos and dollars, I just want to bring my #Bitcoin.

Currently reading Hijacking Bitcoin by Roger Ver after reading The Blocksize War by Jonathan Bier. In some ways, these books are in direct contrast to each other. You could say the former comes from a large blocker perspective, while the latter is from a small blocker perspective. However, I don’t think that’s fair to the material. The Bitcoin community is made up of many different personalities and view points, and regardless of your stance on small blocks vs big blocks, I think it’s worth reading through both of these books to understand the historical context of Bitcoin, as well as some of the challenges we may face in the future. I think there’s a chance we face another Blocksize War, and we may be on the cusp of the Layer 2 wars (e.g. OP_CAT) and if that’s the case then we may face similar cultural challenges. Let us learn from the past.

Progressive Self-Custody
A concept that I’ve been thinking about more and more recently. As Bitcoin becomes more widely adopted, onchain fees will continue to rise. As onchain fees rise, people will naturally become priced out of using the base chain. If Bitcoin is to truly become global money, there must be a path to self custody for every user, not just the rich ones.
We can theorize about how people should acquire sats in a non-custodial manner, but the reality is that most will get their Bitcoin through centralized exchanges. Best practice is to move your coins into self custody as quick as possible, but when transaction fees are higher as they’ve been lately (Coinbase estimated a $7 fee yesterday) then the fees can considerably cut into your purchase. Lightning offers dramatically less fees, but most implementation that users are utilizing are centralized non-custodial solutions which aren’t much, if any, of an improvement in terms of self-custody.
A desirable solution could be to withdraw your coins to a Bitcoin layer 2 after purchasing, and then transfer the funds to the base chain once you have accumulated enough for the transaction fee to be worth it. The main issue is that there aren’t many exchanges that allow users to withdraw to Bitcoin layer 2’s. However, Aqua Wallet has proposed an interesting solution to this problem. By utilizing Boltz, Aqua users can receive Bitcoin on the Liquid layer 2 via a Lightning transaction. Once enough funds are saved up, the user can then use Boltz directly to make an on chain transaction to swap Liquid Bitcoin to the main chain.
This approach is considerably more self-custodial than most of the popular Lightning solutions, and as more layer 2’s come online and gain popularity, I expect Boltz will support them in the same manner. While on chain fees are getting higher, the future is still bright for self custody.

I've been following Bitcoin L2's basically since their inception and currently Botanix (https://www.botanixlabs.xyz/) looks the most interesting to me. BitVM could change the game for bridging to L2's, and Botanix take on Proof-of-Stake using BTC as the staking asset is interesting. They are also EVM compatible so any Ethereum supported wallet will work with this chain out of the box, and ETH smart contracts could be easily migrated.

I think that all good blockchain tech will come to Bitcoin eventually. Smart contracts are already here, L3’s with base sequencing are the future. At that point Bitcoin vs Ethereum will be down to tokenimics. Fixed supply vs dynamic (hopefully deflationary) supply.

I think that this will be the cycle where Bitcoin L2’s become competitive with Lightning. Stacks Nakamoto release will bring ~3 second block times, and subnets built on top of Stacks will be faster, cheaper, and have the potential of using BTC as tx/gas fee. It will be interesting to see how things play out.
