People use TCP/IP all day everyday....
But do they KNOW they are using it?? NO!
They shouldn't have to KNOW they are using Lightning, either. Stop confusing them! They already barely know what Bitcoin is. Lightning just sounds like a shocking to them.
Same goes for eCash on a Fedimint protocol. These are essentially nerd-layers that need to be abstracted away from the general public. Just tell them they're using Bitcoin and watch them get excited. Don't confuse them with "Lightning" and "ecash". Just make it work for them.
On the other-hand..... people not willing to learn should be weeded out, Darwinian style. Bushido of Bitcoin style. Fiat has enabled a whole generation of idiots. Time for

"The colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters, had it not been that England took away from the colonies their money, which created unemployment and dissatisfaction. The inability of the colonies to get power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of George III the international bankers was the prime reason for the revolutionary war."

-Distance anxiety.
Not in 2024. There are Superchargers EVERYWHERE, even super rural areas in America. I've road tripped mine across the U.S. multiple times and never had range anxiety. You ever worried about running out of gas in a car? Same damn thing.
-No parts available to repair the car.
-My mecanic can't fix it either.
Sure, but there are 100x less moving parts. The tech is more simple and streamlined. 120k Miles on mine, and never needed anything done, except new tires. Don't even have to replace break pads cuz of regenerative breaking.
-Electricity for recharging is controlled by a government monopoly in my jurisdiction.

How does an EV limit your freedom of movement?
Even in a global epocolypse, I'd rather be off-grid with wind/solar that can charge the car indefinitely.
You can charge it with coal, wind, solar, gasoline, nuclear.... with an ICE car, you only have one option for energy.... and that option relies on global supply chains.
EV is cheaper to operate and more fun to drive. And it increases my freedom of movement.

Damus is awesome on iOS. But Apple won't let us Zap Sats natively, so the Zapping feature is disabled on iOS.
Apple allows all kinds of in-app value transfers in thousands of their other apps. For example, in-game currencies for many games.
But for some reason, sense it's Bitcoin it's not allowed. So, fuck Apple for actively blocking freedom tech.
On the otherhand.... Damus is really nice for Nostr on iOS. I use it when I'm mobile, and I use noStrudel on desktop when I'm on my laptop so I can Zap n' shit.

In every single rate hiking period since the creation of the scam that is the Federal Reserve, rates went up slowly but dropped rapidly. They take the stairs up, but the elevator down. Every. Single. Time.
The end of the BFTP at the same time we’re starting to see stress in the banking sector is telling. It’s clear that the Fed either needs to renew the program OR start some QE. They simply cannot do both without major, systemic disaster in the economy. They announced the end of the BFTP, so I think it’s clear which of those two options they have chosen. But they do not want the public to realize what the Fed’s plan is. They want us to continue to believe the “higher for longer” narrative, for as long as possible.
Beyond the brewing banking crisis, there are a lot of signs of serious downturn and distress. Many of these indicators only just started flashing red, in January. So they are very recent. We know the Fed is mostly backward looking and their data is always lagging. They haven’t factored in all the new stuff that is starting to happen. Case in point: yesterday, the bank NYCB announced that it is in trouble, the stock dropped 50%. The Fed was not prepared for this happening on the same day as their FOMC meeting. They already had their speech prepared, and their paper ready to release. When they released the paper, they crossed out the words: “The U.S. banking system is sound and resilient.” They didn’t have time to revise their statement, so they crossed this part out completely. They also seem to have told reporters to not ask anything about NYCB’s impending failure. The Fed learned about it only hours before their meeting, and did not have time to reevaluate. So they pretended that everything’s fine, and they pretended that there is no stress in the banking sector currently. Even though, there clearly is.
This brings back to my opening statement. Interest rates take the stairs up, but the elevator down. I think something is going to break before or around the March timeframe. Something big enough to cause an instant rate cut from the Fed, probably something around 100 basis points immediately. The elevator down.
The markets are not pricing this possibility in, whatsoever. They’re still buying the “higher forever” narrative. I think a rate cut is coming in or around March, even though they’re trying their best to make us think otherwise.

Well that just blows my mind.
Normally, when a channel is closed, it's settled as two on-chain utxos, one for each side of the channel, into their respective wallet.
Now, you're telling me we never have to settle on-chain? Without new utxos, how is it settled at all? What does it mean to settle up "out of band"?

"They will pay the onchain fees ONLY when the channel is closed"
So, the way this works is that the channel opening is not broadcast to on-chain nodes whatsoever, and the first time L1 even knows about the channel is at the time of closing? Is this correct? I'm just trying to get a better understanding of the technical aspect of 0-conf.
