At the #Bitcoin conference today CashApp announced that they will be allowing their customers to receive Bitcoin over the Lightning network.

Soon will be able to “CashApp” anyone from anywhere in the world by using any of the tens of Lightning Wallet Apps available.

I’m not rooting for any team but it’s important to keep in mind Cash App is just getting started on their Lightning implementation.

"Bitcoin as legal tender in Mexico" - announcement from Mexican legislator that she's bringing a bill to the president to consider
Bitcoin as legal tender (and tax-free!) in Madeira, Portugal

That's amazing.

With Mexico it would be hard to ignore for first world legislators to ignore it as a foreign currency.

Madeira interesting as well: It's part of Portugal and Portugal has free movement of people, goods and services into the rest of Europe. Hopefully that has good legal consequences on mainland Europe.

Right. The farther north the movement goes, the better for the movement in the US. As far as Madeira goes, it's rather comical because the whole island infrastructure is based on loans and grants from the IMF over the years. It's just a big charity case and now they're flying the coop.

Looks like you'll be able to withdraw your coins off RobinHood by May this year, they've already rolled it out some users on the waitlist today. Lightning will also be coming to RobinHood.

Looks like they just gave a more thorough overview of the browser they’ve been teasing. Looks like you still need to request access to get it. So maybe it’s just a private alpha?
