For many years I had this dream of diving into the Mem-pool.
@nprofile…py4c helped realize this dream.
Come visit 😎

The Humble Administrator’s Garden in Suzhou, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built over 16 years starting in 1513 by Wang Xianchen.
After his death, his son inherited the garden — and quickly lost it to gambling.
A Chinese proverb captures this: 富不过三代 — “Wealth doesn’t last beyond three generations.”
How do Bitcoiners plan to break this cycle and preserve generational wealth?

Yes, it's on signet, and on mainnet in a private alpha. The video I shared is using Ark mainnet sending funds to my mainnet Phoenix wallet.

ARK is a new type of Layer 2 protocol with the UX of E-Cash but non-custodial. When it was announced first in 2023 it was clear that it would require a soft fork like CTV to even work though. Now 2 years later it's here live on Bitcoin mainnet, without the need for a new soft fork at all.
And with the interoperability with Lightning it will create some interesting wallets and new use cases.

Been trying out what might be among the world's first ARK transactions on Bitcoin mainnet.
Here I send some sats from the @ArkLabs wallet to my Phoenix wallet (using a LN swap).
Bullish!

My favorite VPN provider, MullvadVPN.net, finally accepts Lightning payments natively.

Bitcoin is the best asset in the world to invest in.
Humans are natural hoarders and collectors, drawn to things that are scarce—whether trading cards, paintings, or watches. However, all of these can be reproduced, and they are inherently illiquid.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, is the first and only asset that is truly scarce and fully liquid and with a fixed monetary supply that no one controls, making it inherently desirable.
Over time, as its value stabilizes, Bitcoin will likely become the foundational money for global trade.

With Primal 2.0, Nostr will leapfrog X in features and capabilities. Can’t wait. Open protocols win in the long run.
