It's hard to value anything on crypto because it'a all incentivized growth with honeypots & perverse incentives.
All of the TVL & users on "crypto" are paid to be there.
The growth of Lightning Network is natural, altruistic usage - I value that a lot more.
I take sentiment from all sorts of places.
Does that make sense?
That definitely makes sense on the "crypto" front.
On Lightning growth, adoption, and usage - what kind of sentiment are you referring to?
I see you invested in Galoy - are there some data points there or other anecdotes or overall data you are looking at when telling people about Lightning, its adoption, and its evolving success?

One of the things i'm most excited about for Lightning is Square / Cash App.
The fact that the square / cash app team is focusing on lightning network is very bullish for the future of money.
They have distribution.
millions of merchants and tens of millions of users are going to be exposed to bitcoin and decentralized web thanks to Jack and team.

Thanks, it's really inspiring to see all of the work they are doing for everything in the space (and with the massive distribution to play those cards) 🙏
