no I am genuinely curious. what do you think then about LBTC?

would you endorse people to use less retarded version of paper bitcoins?

I am happy about that you've figured out a way that works for you.

In general many p2p platforms have closed due to regulatory pressue. But Bitcoin needs them because they provide certain scales. It's been a while since I last checked Bisq. It should be working still. Another option is HodlHodl.

It is probably not a good idea to use EU bank transfers to buy btcs even from friends.

thank you. do you think ETFs are better?

You may carry at least two full nodes at once.

Sure. It rather brings a new feature, though.

This tech allows bitcoiners who prefer to use LN wallets as casual cryptowallets, easily create, access, and authorize operations on EVM vaults (Ethereum + L2s) without a native token to pay fees.

I frequently find myself in situations where a client refuses to pay in BTC and instead proposes a stablecoin. That lets me quickly create a receiving address and redirect the funds later, where I need them most. However, a major painpont here migh be still having a native token to move funds.

Blockchain animal spirits.

My point is that they will use onchain transaction anyway.

However, I find it funny that narrative "LN is dead" seems to be contradictory to "Bitcoin security is under threat" since if there is no robust 2nd layer, many transactions should settle onchain hence there will be some demand anyway.

Thank you for your work.

Here you can find better explanation

Well, people do use WBTC and do ask about WBTC to our experience. But they are not bitcoiners as we see and closer to just traders/gamblers.

You probably want to say "bitcoin gains from decentralization"?

An example for my testnet node which will provide real-time info about LN-leg of the bridge.
