where all the shine has worn off and so normies aren't dazzled by the hype anymore
Are Normies using lightning? Because that's where the shine is
normies are not using lightning.
it's almost by definition: if you know enough about bitcoin to know what lightning is, know how to select and install a lightning wallet, and possibly set up channels, you aren't a normie any more.
Now, in the case of things like CashApp, I'd still maintain, if you know enough about bitcoin to be able to send bitcoin out of CashApp, you aren't much of a normie anymore. But perhaps this is changing.
Lightning is incredible. I understand the conversation that 'opening a channel' is difficult and confusing and not easy etc etc... Personally I think that's bullshit. Having liquidity is like having a bucket you add water or drain it out that's all liquidity is.
I really hope that spark/ark make non-custodial usage easier... I know these things aren't perfect but bringing easy, simple, non-custodial micro transactions to the internet is one of the coolest things we can do.
In fact, a big part of bitcoin's value is lightning and microtansactions and being able to spend a penny over and over. That's the shine, no?
Interesting. I do feel like we have reached that point in the industry where all the shine has worn off and so normies aren't dazzled by the hype anymore...which means we finally get to see how bitcoin is useful to people. they'll use it if it solves a problem, and probably won't if it doesn't.
I'm curious if you noticed any glaring gaps in the CLE classes. For instance, I imagine there are CLE classes about inheritance law and digital assets. But I wonder if there are classes that get into the nitty gritty of when a business is a money transmitter or what sort weird legal situations get created by multiple parties having keys in a multisig. Perhaps I misunderstand the purpose of CLE classes though.
