I swear if I do not get a job offer off of the interviews I gave today... then I dunno I'm just washed
If people are desperate and you give them a thing, tell them it's worth "XYZ amount" in a currency unit they understand... is it so crazy that they'd cash out to convert the unknown into the known?
Store of value for now, fam.
I view this as a bit of a stand off. Anyone that got this email is getting a warning to come out with their hands up, otherwise it might get ugly.
I am not innocent here, I never even had the goal of custodial LN until I stood up my Raspiblitz.
Lightning was an afterthought, but an incredibly welcomed addition. If normies are anything like me, and I suspect they are, only those keen to control their transactions end-to-end will find their way.
I can't say with confidence that bitcoin as a means of exchange is looking too bright atm, but as a store of value yeah...never better.
Frankly that's all bitcoin needs right now - to be WORTH it - for everyone on earth to jump onboard. Means of exchange can figure itself out later.
I expect inflation, increased bitcoin price denominated in US dollars, tomfoolery in the fiat system, and continued assertions by my college group chat that I am a silly goose for buying a ponzi scheme (while they continue to drill baby drill into destitution with sports betting).
SOOO WILD I was hyperventilating about this on a call with my boomer parent just now lol
"That's great, or terrible, whatever you like kiddo"
I sat across from two of my lifelong friends (we live in different cities now) sharing a drink for the first time in a long time around August of last year. The conversation was heavy: philosophy, history, morality, existence, etc.
Every time I got the floor I was basically like, "This is all a wonderful but I cannot express to you how critical it is that you buy some bitcoin." Got hit with dumbfounded looks and cries of a ponzi scheme.
Now in the groupchat, all I ever say is "I bought more ponzi" which for a while was met with more hostility. Some of that negativity is starting to turn as it's become clear that, had they just shut up and listened, they'd have already had a massive (perceived) return (on a fiat dollar basis).
I still go to BTC Map now and again hoping to see a new shop or business around my area accepting bitcoin.
I still have never seen a new addition. We are much more unique than we recognize, in the larger scheme.
