Lightning's main use case is as an open&permissionless financial B2B integration interface.
The other use case is helping amateur node runners lose money.

I would add to Craig's sentiment:
The apathy of nostr pundits on topics such as doxxing your IP to unknown relays. "Use a VPN" they cry.
Every nostr client should have Tor built in, just like core does.

Nostr is free speech.
X is policed.

The two things I haven't been able to do are open channels to other CLN nodes without force closes (for make glorious privacy) and also make larger payments (150k sat+). Those are the top two on my wishlist.

Would be cool to see a baseline pre-covid frequency for news titles with "heart disease" and related terms in it.
The tweet author also says "over the past three years" but then has a tweet with news articles from 2017? Another from 2016? And another from September 2020, when the first US vaccine was only approved in November of that year. Etc.
(Found another tweet with news from over 3 years ago while reviewing)
IMO these types of errors water down the point which I ultimately agree with re: increased likelihood of heart damage. And for young men we know it happens, so becomes hard to hand wave this claim away.

Can you check my memory of what happened there:
1) Some people who donated on fiat rails had their bank accounts frozen
2) Custodial wallets that were the recipients of donations were also frozen
Do I have that right? Am I missing anything?
