I just bought services for an on-chain payment.

That hasn't happened in a long long time.

When was your last time?

Most of my on-chain payments are to open lightning channels.

reply

Same here, but when was the last time you bought something other than the ability to pay off-chain?

reply

I don't recall

In December 2022 I paid @denlillaapan a hefty sum on-chain for editing Bitcoin Girl: Save the World

Those sats are worth a lot more now than they were then if he didn’t sell!!

Duuuude, that was last time you made an on-chain payment hahah??

reply

Yea otherwise I use lightning. Just used lightning to buy @hodlthewhey!

reply

Onchain payment? That wasn't for opening a channel? Damn, it's been a while

reply

Nice try fed.

Just kidding. It was this morning. Sent some sats to cold storage. That's a payment to my future self. Otherwise maybe about 18 months ago.

This morning, pegged in to Liquid ))

My lightning node tends to make them without me. Other than that, it's been a long time.

They are rare. Usually mine are Lightning channel related.

Last week moving some sats around

reply

Honestly ever and paid anything in the chain ⛓️ always pay in lightning, dirty fiat or shitcoins.

"I lie". My last payment in the chain went to my wife that I returned 100k that owed him to some Sats that spent months ago.

Your wife... him?

I understand nothing.

Things of the translator that happen when I try to carry what I think in Spanish to English. 🤷

Are you counting loop outs and opening LN channels? If not, it has been a while. I seem to be doing all my transacting on the lightning network.

reply

Nope, i should have clarified that i dont mean LN maintanence transations on L1. So it is what i presumed and its great to hear.

The service i bought only offered on-chain, but that isnt the case as much anymore.

reply

Lightning is our future. You send and receive it instantly. Onchain only for long term and channel opening, innit?

reply

That's the plan. But want to get an idea of how many folks are still on-chain...
