Do hope so. Darwinism in action.

All shady business, like sanctions evasion, is done with USDT or A7A5 nowadays. No one likes value uncertainty when they pay to a business partner. The merchants I spoke with hated the idea of CGT accounting for every coffee cup. The only room for Bitcoin is off-the books retirement fund, but then again, few are motivated enough to learn self custody.

MiCA is bullshit

Always has been an attack. Digital Euro, then abolition of cash. EU is doomed.

I think more than one factor is at play here. The strongest is the lack of retail adoption due to aggressive tax policies and the stablecoins placebo. Few have long enough investment horizon and balls to say "fuck you" to the surveilance state.

MSTR is a long call option on Bitcoin. It has decay, as it should, but it also has positive gamma. So when (not if) BTC rebounds, the stock will outperform it again to the upside.

Sure, but airplanes always come back down. Space litter is a huge problem already, because even a small piece can do a lot of damage.

how can nobody care about this much junk in orbit

Circular rebalancing means you send sats in a circle: out through one of your channels, in through another of your channels. This obviously cannot work in the configuration you drew, because you have 2 BTC outbound balance and 0 BTC inbound. Start by returning 50% of each channel or 100% of either one of the two channels onchain. You can do that via a swap at https://swapmarket.github.io.

More advanced skill is to rebalance via liquid.

Lightning is an open, permissionless network: you can make a channel with anyone

Not really. Try opening a channel to Bitfinex, Binance or FixedFloat. They won't let you (((

WTF is the UK doing?

I think sugar and other non-natural chemicals can interfere with healty neurotransmitting

What is the cause of insanity?

A brochure that NHS gives to people who suffered the "first episode of phychosis" assumes the reason to be an amount of work/life stress. Each person has a different innate threshold to tolerate stress, and when that limit is exceeded our minds escape into an alternative reality. This state of psychosis is similar to a regular dream: you follow some scenario "on autopilot" without knowing that you are dreaming. Most do eventually wake up from the phychosis, but they may relapse after the next stressful event. Some live there permanently thereafter. That's schizophrenia... Alcohol and drugs play a role by lowering the threshold.

fixed

yeah, also want to look deeper

is this similar to rizful, with 0-conf private channels opened from a central node?

exactly
