So what are you going to spend instead? If there is no better money than Bitcoin, why do you have something else? I spend Bitcoin because it's the only money I have, and the only money I will accept

Thank you!

Awww I love it!

Thank you for reading! Happy know people are interested!

Thank you for reading! I also find it weirdly satisfying to report on the mundane and boring, and gathering this information for myself is a big part of why I'm doing "plebwalks." So hard to find otherwise!

One more anecdote: I went to a mexican place late at night and jokingly asked about Bitcoin payments. The server said "yes of course" but later clarified that this was a joke and that I could use my Bitcoin debit card to pay instead. They said they don't take Bitcoin because it's not real money, then immediately corrected themselves pointing to the card machine saying "but neither is this." I paid with cash. We've come so far, and yet have so much further to go...

I'm not a history expert but the late 1800s and early 1900s must have been a really chaotic time politically in the states. They literally had a civil war, and extreme political views like communism, theocracy and fascism were apparently much more prevalent in the public sphere 100 years ago

There's no "resolution," pluralism has always been America's biggest strength.

Looks awesome, congrats! I fear you tagged the wrong Leo though

How much of this is due to lack of interest from users and investors in Lightning? Not trying to be negative or a doomer, but from my own experience it's very easy to get people to talk about these things (like we do here), but very hard to get anybody to use anything. And even more difficult to get anybody to invest

Great stuff! Keep us informed about how it's going, which wallets you are using, what the pain points are and what you find most useful!

Yeah they're almost all gone now in Miami. There's some traction in Tampa, but the number two city is probably Austin, TX

It's the only city in North America where you can expect to find a few merchants that take sats, but I hope that changes quickly!

It all runs locally and has a slick UI!

well noticed! I did switch over from dark mode today because I had trouble seeing things as the sun was shining on my screen
